First, I really like Ourstage and what they are trying to do. I agree it is much better than Myspace.

I'm no rocket scientist but have worked with several friends and co-workers who have that type of implied IQ. Folks, there aint no way to write a perfect algorithm on judging something so subjective as which song is better. Else, wouldn't we all have the same favorite song? I'm sure the engineers at Ourstage are looking to make the algorithm better but it is a fairly new site. I saw from their last newsletter that some folks even got publishing deals. Not too bad for a free site.

On the other hand, I got a chuckle when I see the box that says "People who liked your song also like the following" and see that my country song is liked by people who like gangsta music, hip-hop music and jazz.
