Well okay, I guess I'm qualified. As someone who got a bad critique from the first contest I entered,I would plead with you not to give us our rankings. That was over 20 years ago and I still remember how worthless I felt. Some said it wasn't that bad, but you couldn't convince me. I didn't write anything for a couple years. why, if I wasn't any good?
True, a great many of us will get 10-15 points, but some will end up with none. (bound to happen) I really would rather not know I was dead last. Without explanations, the numbers aren't worth much. When and if you don't advance, then post your lyric on one of the boards and ask why?
and Mike, what really is the difference between some of us saying "oooh yeah! great song!" on a critique and saying "ooooh yeah! great lyric! I think I'll put it on my list" in this contest? looks pretty similar to me.
