Please let us know what you think of the period of time allocated for the voting.
Is 25 minutes or so, too short? Or do you feel the time needs to be extended? Or are you all still unclear how the voting works?
Some may not even know that they had to vote immediately on the same day. Were you caught unawares last week?
A short voting period has its benefits, as it helps reduce "Power Voting", but a longer period gives people more flexibility as well as time to review the performers properly and decide accordingly.
We like to hear everyone's comments and arguments.

greetings. 25 minutes is more than enough. BUT (there's always a but), i personally think it's hard to understand the point that WHEN do we actually START to vote. yet, the emcee is very confusing. her speech somehow annoyed me at times. example, last week, after Shake did his solo dance, the emcee said START VOTING FOR HIM NOW. and i remember before any of the bottom 4 do their solo dance, she said VOTE ONLY AFTER ALL THE BOTTOM 4 FINISH THEIR SOLO DANCE. i supported shake, i sms 2 votes. couldn't afford to lose him. and after i sms, which is also right after the recap of his dance, then the emcee said VOTE AFTER ALL OF THEM IS DONE WITH THIER SOLO DANCE. wtfish. the emcee seems like she's NOT READY to do any emcee work yet at the moment. there's a lot of error in her speech last week. she's confusing the audience. my friends who watched the show last week agreed with me too. somebody needs to tell her that she need to improve her emcee skills.

Yeah ...many ppl have commented to me about the host. She fumbled quite a bit last weekand the audiences are sometimes confused on what she is saying ... Anyway ...give her a chance and see what happens tonite ... She should state out clearly the dos and donts and repeat them now and then throughout the show. About the voting time ... I feel that it is a bit too short. Lastly ... all the best to all the contestants tonite. Looking forward to another great show ;D greetings. 25 minutes is more than enough.

YES.. definitely that is too short for me.. i mean not to say i need 25 minutes to type out the words.. but definitely it is better for us to judge properly and then only we vote.. i mean for this few starting seasons.. which i havent make up my mind who to support truthfully.. i m actually observing the way they dance and the natural talent in them..
With that i mean i would need a longer time or perhaps i should say i need to watch the replay of the show and decide who really did well.. that is for me la.. since i m never a pro dancer.. hehehe.. if we were to vote in that 25 minutes.. then.. congratulation to those that looks good and didnt really have the talent(just an example).. that will bring them (the one with good looks and good personality) forward to another week..
Maybe that is y in other reality shows the few talented ones are out earlier.. they dont have their chance to show their "true faces" yet.. I thought it will be nice if we can have something like American Idol.. having their performance one day and on the other day we can repeat the show again before the result show..
Just my 2 cents..

i think the voting time allocated is alright. 25 minutes is kinda okay for people to cast their votes, all based on the performance and nothing has to do with popularity or personality influence (like in so many other reality shows)..
however, i can't agree more with Bong^Bong. i think if the program adopt AI's voting mechanics, things will even more better. it provides more time and will eventually lead to a better judgement (hey, we audience are also entitled of our opinion on who can and cannot dance right?he he). repeat show (Friday morning) will give the flexibilty to those who couldn't make it for the 9.30pm Thursday show. and i do think this will lead to a better and a more satisfying result.
whatever it is, the current system is not that bad. saya sempat vote, so can everybody! ;D

there's something wrong with the voting system.
some of the votes we send were bounced back. it's not counted and ridiculous.

butterflybabe, hmmm, it happened to me on the top20 episode... so, lesson learnt, last week, right after they announced the bottom 4, i've started to cast my votes already... and it went thru...

Actually, releasing the stats of the votes would be a great idea. It gives a better picture of the overall support received from tv viewers throughout the country who are watching!
