Looks like Nā Lehua Melemele is in 2nd place, behind by about 350 page views so anything you can do to help. (That is, click on their video.) You need to scroll down - wonder if that is a disadvantage?
The voting will stay OPEN till midnight tomorrow. Vote early and vote often!

These ladies dance simply beautifully. I never fail to be entranced. But the contest was a little circumspect, at best.
I mean... The voting à la American Idol style -- by people who may have no idea about what the songs mean, about whether the costumes are appropriate to the songs, or whether the language was correct, then it could turn into a beauty contest for say, for instance, the ballerinas with the skimpiest tutus.
So, in short, was anyone voting on this contest qualified to do so? And is it fair that a single person gets to vote 5,000 times? I wish the New Jersey gubernatorial election worked like that. I understand that it did work like that in mayoral races in Chicago - once upon a much more beautiful time.
