borgmama1of5I am just posting this because it is boggling my mind.
On 7/4 around 4 pm I saw the following post on LJ about voting for Jensen in a poll:
http://portraitmagazine.net/
Naturally I clicked on it. Jensen was #16 with about 2700 votes; someone named McFly was in the lead with something like 27000 votes.
So of course I voted...a few times...
When I looked at the poll again around 9 pm on 7/5--about 30 hours later, Jensens was #6 with 15000 votes while McFly had 30000.
Tonight, about 50 hours since I first saw the statistics:
Jensen #4--27000 votes, McFly 32000
The contest runs till August 20. Do you think Jensen has a shot at winning? :)

Date: 2012-07-07 06:07 am (UTC)They are a boy band from the UK who have been around for several years (since 2004). In the UK, they've had 18 consecutive Top 20 singles (fifteen Top 10, seven Number 1s), but I don't think they've ever charted in the US.
