I understand your postition, too. It's hard when you don't have a direct answer to why something happened. But, I have a question for you:

What if you never get an explanation from those involved in the organization of the contest? They aren't obligated to personally explain any part of the process to any of us, and I didn't even enter the contest! There will be plenty of other opportunities through this site, and you better your chances of future successes by not needing an explanation.

I really enjoyed your idea, by the way! It was definately at the top of my list! I thought the introduction set the mood of the song very well. However (and, maybe if you read my criticism correctly, this will help you will your explanation), the song itself isn't as in as high of demand as "Kill the Lights." Trust me, I love them both. But, if you need numerical evidence of this, just check out the frontpage poll that has gathered some 35,000 votes.

Also, not everyone is framiliar with the Candyman legend. And, because there are some pretty specific details echoed in the movie version and your version, there may have had to be legal rights permissions and other headaches for your video to come to life. It's not an impossible idea, but maybe it's not as practical or "open to suggestion" as Britneli's.
