Sorry if this is a stupid question, but is this officially connected to the Olympics? :ninja:

nope, it's not...as far as i know it's just a fan voting ;) ...but maybe the olympic committee will see the list and see what artist/band the ppl are interested to see the most....so if Billie makes it to No 1, maybe he'll get the chance to really perform there ;)

idk..there's a poll and you can vote for Billie, i always get all excited when there's a poll and BJ or Green Day are in it :P

...and i hope the olympic committee will see the list somewhen and BJ will be in the top 10 and maybe really gets a chance to play there :) .....but for that we need to VOOOTTTEEE !!! :lol: ...and well, maybe it is an official voting for the olympics and i was completely wrong and the first placed will really play there :lol: ...but really, i don't think that :lol:

yep, it's weird :D haha yeah...and i try to find more people to vote ;)

and we really have a chance to kick Justin Bieber out of the top 10...he fell from...idk 6? or anywhere else of the first places :D ...to 9...Billie is still on 18, but if we keep voting, i'm sure we can kick JB out and replace him with BJ :D

Certain people who voted in this need to be sledge-hammered. :huh: Personally I was a little bit hesitant to vote for Billie but I did, cause Green Day are a BOMB when they play live. But all these people who put Bieber, Gomez, Rihanna and other crappy singers in this list, well are they in their proper mind?! I mean, imagine the Olympic Games beginning, an all-serious event, and suddenly 13 koren boys, or Lady Gaga dressed as meat, or Adele who always sings about her broken heart or whatever, showing up and and playing. I know this is not a very serious thing anway, but STILL!

And Paul McCartney is in the 80th place (or somewhere there!)? He's english, he's a legend, and he'd be the most likely to play if this voting site was serious. It just makes me wonder how stupid poeple are :ermm:

i don't know about other browsers but for firfox you go to Tools > options > privacy tab. About half way down it sas 'remove individual cookies'. Scroll down until you find 'the-top-tens.com, click on it then click 'remove cookie'.

Hope that works, and I guess it is similar on other browsers

Does this poll actually have any influence on the Olympics or it's just some website asking? Cuz it's not like voting for him would at all influence the decision...

That and, it would be weird if it wasn't a British act performing, IMO. Let Coldplay or Muse or Adele do it, ya know?

I asked that question and this is what Tony said:

I know that it's separate from the Olympics in terms of an "official" capacity. However, just look at GDA/GDC... are we quite similar in terms of our standing? We still do what we do, and people take notice. So there is a chance that more "official" people will take notice of this. Especially if it gets bombarded with votes from us, and fans of other artists alike :)

I've been able to vote four times without clearing a single cookie! :D I voted on my iPod, plus on my computer I have three different browsers, Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Safari, so I used each one to vote for Billie Joe. :happy:
