Whatever one may think about Guetta winning it last year, at least it was different. It sparked new conversations and suggested a change in the direction of pop EDM. Seeing Armin win it tho', who cares? It's old news, a retread. What has Armin done this past year that will generate similar talk that Guetta provided? Okay, so he's adopted the 'trouse' sound (according to his old school fans, at least), but all that means is he fits right snuggly with Tiesto, Guetta, Above & Beyond, and everyone else in the Top 10 (sans Skr-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-rillex). Same inter-changable DJs, same ol' story. Seeing Avicci at #3's more interesting than Armin or Tiesto.
I'm sure Armin's fans feel justified with this result, but everyone else will shrug with apathy, much like every other time he's won it.
