Armin put it up to vote like the Future Favorite.
Now for my rant (which I expect someone will flame or some lame TLDR comments):
Everyone that's complaining about Invasion as an anthem... get off your high horse. Who honestly cares that your choice of tune lost, while someone else's won? Who cares that you think it isn't a good "anthem" when all you say is "this tune sucks!" You're a segment of the mass that listens to ASOT and you are entitled to your opinion... but obviously the larger mass of people who listened to the show to voted because they liked it.
IMHO, either offer constructive criticism or stuff it. This bull$3!t has gotten so far out of hand with listeners these days.
I like Invasion for its synth choices and its anthemic stab. Is it a Beats@Rank1 or a Such is Life or hell even an early 2000's Sensation anthemic-type tune? No. Is it energetic in its own way? Yes. To me its a lot more memorable than the other submissions when each submission is taken in its own right. It feels like a festival, like a massive, not like another tune at the club, which is what I kept getting on the other tunes I liked (Eco's and Brandt's). It isn't greatly uplifting or epic, but is that all people think of when they think of an anthem in today's market?
Last point on Invasion: It could be so much worse; what if we had something like SvD's anthem for the last Trance Energy, aka Renegade?
