The amount of hassle one had making it can't be used as measure of good music as it is not a direct observable, although I'm sure that a lot of effort went into the winning entries, too. It is therefore expected that people should vote according to their tastes, since it is after all a music contest.
No it isn't. That's pop music. There is such a thing as artistic merit where you can at least appreciate what's being done.
And no, people shouldn't vote entirely on their own taste, for the many reasons I've spent the last 3 pages describing. It makes sense to try and understand where someone is coming form, even if the track isn't your thing. I do not suspect it is worth arguing with someone, however, who equates "good" and "popular" as being the same thing.

gonna check out the entries in a bit here
