First of all, I liked most of these songs. I felt the adherence to the category idea was a little shaky. But I tried to give the benefit of the doubt when I felt like the spirit of the rule was being honored.
Since my category was so specific I decided to do a 1-10 point system for if I liked the song, and did it fit the category. Highest point total wins. Like Obama, total transparency.
Also I tried not to get distracted by the videos, because some songs didn’t have them and I didn’t think it was fair to mark songs that did either way. So if your video helped, you kind of got hurt, if your video was surreally bizarre, you got a reprieve. I guess everyone did it this way?
I listened to each song at least twice. I went back and listened to the transition into the supposed “new element” as many times as necessary to try to understand where it was supposed to be. Some of you probably should have left a comment as I was guessing.
Ok let’s get into it!
