I actually believe that songs that are more popular are judged more after a certain point. I believe the OurStage system gives all songs a fair shot for a certain amount of time, but as it becomes more clear which songs are more popular (say, 50th percentile and above) and which aren't, it will give more precedent to judging of the more popular songs. After all, while a song placing #400 vs #200 does not really affect the contest at all, a song placing #30 vs #10 makes an enormous difference, as the former position will not make it to the quarterfinals, while the latter one will.

Just theory, perhaps, but the way I've seen my own songs move around, as well as Jill's, over the last few months, I think this has some truth to it...

Either way, I don't have any problem here. Whether or not they show the plays from judging has no bearing on my very high opinion of the site itself, and I don't think it's wrong or right of them to do it whichever way they choose.
