TeeRoy's 2 Cents:
- So, do you agree withΒ Billboard's odds?
- Cyndi Lauper and Warren Zevon have long been overlooked and should have stronger odds.
- As far as the Fan Vote, Cyndi has mass appeal so it's not surprising that she is topping the list.
- Once again, hip-hop and R&B acts are not getting a lot of votes.
