You want to hear my opinion who should be this so-called artist of the year ?? honestly - none of them and all of them ... Can't we just say everyone is really good !! Do we really need such a thing to make other great artists envy ?? Or all those sayings like 'Hey, vote for him or her to get AOY' ?? If I like an image anotherone might hate it - This is always a matter of personal impressions. So, sorry - for me is such a voting just waste of time ... I know I might be a bit alone with my thoughts - but - sorry, to say that - I think such a thing is not good for a community if the one wins who got the most votes ...
