HUGE difference there. For one, they weren't pitted against one another because Miley was hated and Joan was beloved, which is the sole reason you want Verdi vs Minaj. They didn't use Miley Cyrus because they knew the majority of fans would vote against here; they used her because she was a major figure in the news at the time. Second, they had an actual connection. It wasn't just "modern vs historical". It was saint vs sinner and two girls who disguised themselves to get themselves further in their careers, Miley Cyrus using Hannah Montana as an alter-ego to push forth her music career and Joan disguising herself as a guy to join the army. There is no connection between Minaj vs Verdi aside from it trying to be a carbon-copy of Bieber vs Beethoven. And really, Skrillex isn't THAT hated. If anything, it's Lance Armstrong. People just don't like dubstep music as a whole, and considering Skrillex represented dubstep in ERB, they automatically associated him with it and voted against him. It had nothing to do with him as a person, just with his music genre. Lance Armstrong, on the other hand, has quickly become a hated figure due to his use of drugs to win races.
