i always mean to tell people this. granted, when you are 9-14 years old you do not know any better and actually think your 1 phone call for .99 cents counts.
but what these artists and bands record labels do, they buy professional auto-dialers and almost like tele-marketers... give them a couple hundred thousand dollars and they just keep calling for their artist that they want to win.
I do not know if mtv has done anything specific with blocking the auto-dialiers because hey... the money is going in their pocket.
but thats how the viewers choice is won.
also, knowing the music business extremely well, your "RAP"(gansta and along those lines), they do not blow their money like that... they'd rather sip cristal and carvosieay(spelling).
How do you think Michelle Branch won last year? it was proven that that was done. Maverick records had spent a total of, it was around $400,000 dollars to have the auto-dialers work.
Because hey... if the public see's that the "VIEWERS CHOICE" where the "fans" vote and see michelle branch win... people will think, "What am i missing" and it will boost album sales and what not.
I wouldnt doubt Good Charolette had that done for them this year, because they are trying to bring back the whole little "punk" movement... So the label exec's get the ball rolling and this is how you get trends in music started.
also, on a side note:
JOHNNY CASH WAS ROBBED

The Goon Squad is the underground. Declaring war on everything... Declaring war on nothing.We are your children raised on ritalin and prozac, biting the hand that's reared us... pissing down our heros throats.
All we are is all you have made us...Given nothing. Taking everything. Making this world a place of our own.
