<<Over the last few years, Bruna, he's been up against performing songwriters like
Sting, David Bowie, Phil Collins, Barry Manilow. These folks are still
quite active. Gordon's just not as high profile & I believe that's why he
does not garner as many votes.

This is what Bob told me yesterday. Imagine, talent takes second place to high profile!
Maybe the release of 'Harmony' will lift his profile and come Fall, they will vote him in. He certainly has earned the right to be there.
