Mostly it's not that Lily is the best and she should win idea, but also simply that she's senior and now doesn't have another chance for her to compete in the next year. What fans mainly mean is that Yume/Rola still has a chance in the next year so they don't have the pressure..

Also, in order to make new S4 in Year 3, the S4 in Year 2 is yet another temporary title for certain characters. If Rola/Yume wins in this year, they must give up or lose to someone else in the next year. I understand your idea, but wonder if you took these into consideration.

In the production view. unless Stars series storyline would not be confirmed to go into the third year, then the story would be like Akari's case. (I think it's unlikely). If so, then Lily/Yuri/Yume/Rola would have the same chance regardless of their age.
