I'm against genre splitting since it'll make the selection less... realistic? Like if we have to have 3 rock songs, 3 ballads, etc., if more people like 4 rock songs and 2 ballads than 3 rock songs and 3 ballads, it won't be a "true" fan favorite selection because that one rock song that more people liked than a ballad would have to be replaced by a less favored ballad. For example:

You decide there are 3 rock songs and 3 ballads. Let's say that everyone votes and it comes up as:

Rock songs
talkin' 2 myself - 11 votes
alterna - 10 votes
decision - 9 votes
is this LOVE? - 8 votes

Ballads
Moments - 10 votes
CAROLS - 9 votes
HEAVEN - 7 votes
rainy day - 6 votes

Then, going with the proper genre splitting, you'd have to put talkin' 2 myself, alterna, decision, Moments, CAROLS, and HEAVEN on. BUT, more people actually favor is this LOVE? more than HEAVEN, but is this LOVE? would be put off just to have that 3rd ballad. That way, it really wouldn't be a real fan favorite selection, because a rock song might have more votes than a ballad, but not be included as a fan favorite.

Did that make sense? I'm not good at explaining things. :'(
