Yes blind contests do work. They have been doing this for years. For example the Telluride bluegrass festival has a blind guitar contest. The judges are not allowed to see the performer, know his or her name etc. Their only job is to listen and judge accordingly. Ben
Thanks Ben! I think that would be a great idea for OurStage to do. It would be very simple, they need only "hide" the artist image and name. The song description is already removed from the voting "battles", and all that's needed is the song title to accompany the sound track. This would also help good songwriters that don't have the talent or resources to prepare great looking images to represent their songs.

There's nothing remarkable about it. All one has to do is hit the right keys at the right time and the instrument plays itself. -- Johann Sebastian Bach
