I'm gobsmacked that Genesis Hall won.  I like it fine, but it's never stood out for me as a toweringly great song.  Not like Now Be Thankful which should have won.   Smiley

My bet is it was everyone's second choice, so since there was lack of agreement about the first choices, the second choice won.

Which is why, if you feel very strongly about one voting choice you should never 'dilute' the vote with a second choice...

Indeed.  I was never going to place more than one vote for this category.
