I guess I'll find out tomorrow if I survived to semifinals. I dropped to #9 in singer-songwriter today, but now it's back to #7. Oof.

I did some judging of my own this evening, and let me tell you: it's HARD. There are a LOT of really good tunes, and at some point it comes down to personal tastes, production values, etc. because the core songs are good across the board.

Once, I was trapped between a song that was obviously better, but I hated the style, and a song that was just okay, but more to my tastes stylistically. I grudgingly gave the first song a slightly better rating, but I wonder how many people (who aren't songwriters like me) would have done that.
