I don't wanna sound non caring or presumptuous by saying this. But I did not enter my song lyrics to win or to vote for myself...but to enjoy the game...I look at it as fun and as a learning experience.
I think voting for oneself is ridiculous and should not be allowed...and whoever did should not be accepted in the voting process.
Insofar as choosing songs I found many good poems and very few lyrics. Two lyrics hit me in the stomach and churned my heart. The other 3 I voted for were well crafted. The ones I discarded were too verbose.
Having said the above....good luck to all of you and may the best win....by the way what does the best win? A new guitar? A trip to Los Angeles? A champions league cup?
A chance to get his song cut by a famous artist?

Later
