I think we're all in the same confused state of mind on this one.
Went back again 8.82
Voted 8.93
Skipped Eminem
LC average ranking 8.88

I'm sure if I go back now, it will again be 8.82

Nope - just went back and it was showing 8.93 :D

Think it's best if you give all the others a 1 =Rubbish, then give Leonard a 10.
Just my interpretation of how it works.

Thanks Anne - I have done that a number of times with a couple of exceptions that I couldn't in good conscience give a 1, so they got a 5. It's okay though, they don't have the fan support apparently like we have here and it would not affect LC's ranking.

I think it is logical that the rating is fluctuating.
A lot of people are voting at the same time - and not all of them are fans of Leonard.
They try to highten their candidate through low ranking of his/her rivals.
I wrote earlier about Matt Bellamy - Muse Forum, they have also organized voting...
e.g. if we give 100 times 10 to Leonard and he is still going down,
then "the others" gave him maybe 200 times 1...

keep voting (the deadline is still a question)

Hi howthelightgetsin,

I am watching tv and clicking also. :D

I envy your record of live performances, also meeting Leonard. I have not been to a concert yet as I am a new fan. Congrats.

I'm continuing to vote! But getting very sick of seeing Eminem with his middle finger salute. Earlier in the process I actually accidently gave Eminem a 10 a couple of times, thinking that it had reverted to Leonard :roll: I am now VERY VERY careful! We are DOING IT!!!!! WOW...all of us are great!!! :D er, but Leonard is maybe just a little bit greater!

That's funny Ladydi :D :D

I was thinking just that.... don't want to see Emminen again ever. I must have given him some points too. It is slow to switch to Leonard's lovely face. He is quite beautiful :D :D
