I remember they had something similar for Idol 10, though for fewer hours. Even though I was more committed to Idol 10 I found it difficult, especially when the traffic becomes heavy and it takes more time to register a vote.People with connection speed issues will wait for a long time between votes.
I wish they had increments of 10 instead of single digit. That would make things easier if you really wanted to vote your full quota.
But Sony possibly makes a lot of money by torturing fans. And Sony loves it!
I am glad that I am relaxed about who wins. I still want my favourite to get some cash, but have low interest in who wins. Just wanted to see a couple of teenagers complete the entire journey. For me they are the future.
