But this competition is about the Greatest Songs, sung by women??
Yes ... ?
Not sure where the confusion lies.
Let's say my favourite song ever is Bohemian Rhapsody, that would get a 20/20 (it's not, but let's say).
Few songs so far in this competition compare with Bohemian Rhapsody as far as my own personal enjoyment goes.
Even the songs I nominated don't compare with Bohemian Rhapsody.
So, I mark accordingly.
I just happen to prefer songs sung by men. That's not to say that I hate every song sung by a woman. Or that some songs by women aren't better than some songs by men. I'd take Son of Preacher Man by Dusty Springfield over Flying Without Wings by Westlife any day.0 -

That makes little sense - we are whittling down a very big list here - so the higher score a song gets the more popular it is and it will make it into the heats for Strawbs to give us to decide upon and also obviously if a song doesn't do it for you it's your chance to knock it off the list -
This is specifically for the best song sung by a female artist so where my confusion lies is within those parameters surely there will be top scores (particularly for your own nominations)
I mean do whatever you will but it doesn't make sense to not stand behind your own choices fully imo - I would much rather see someone voting in this who actually enjoys the topic too. Again that's just my personal take and at the end of the day it's only a bit of fun.

I don't get that either. Bohemian Rhapsody (or whatever) isn't in the competition or the category, so surely your favourite song based on the requirement of it being sung by a woman would get your top score.
I would say that some of the songs I've nominated aren't my favourite songs either. Not even close. But in the category of being specifically sung by a woman they are.0 -

I'm not "not enjoying the topic".
Sorry that came across wrong, I'm glad you're enjoying it :P - What mostly puts me off these Greatest...nom things is something voted top for reasons, other than great - Some of my most favourite songs are sung by women and then some of my most favourite songs are sung by men who sound like women 0 -

And weirdly, in a lot of cases, any songs sung by women that I like, sound like they're sung by men too.
Out of just over 250 CDs that I own, only four are by women, and none would I consider in my top tier. I had to go outside my collection for my nominations. But I also had to for the 60s, 90s and 00s competitions.0 -

Round 4 submitted.
This was an excellent selection; four perfect scores and no zeroes from me this time. There was one song on the list which I immediately thought "oh I don't like that one" when I saw it; upon listening I realised "oh I actually do quite like this" and it went from a 4 to a 12.
