Oh, since lovesong brought up how he's going to be judging, I will do that, too!
I'm typically a nice judge, but my last time judging mad me realize that giving everyone 7-10 does not help anyone, so I'm going to be more strict! (I'm not going to be like EdgyTacos giving people 2s just because they used a slant rhyme instead of a hard one dw!) I do plan to use most of the score range available, but 2-0 will be very rare...a song worth 0 points would have to be an out-right offense to songwriting, so you'll have to really try for that one!
As for this round in particular: As long as Sam is okay with it, I will NOT be doing personalized critiques for the first two entries: instead, I will pick a few general, but major points (or pieces of advice, if you'd prefer to call it that) and a list of people who I think could use it in their next entry. I'll make an example.

DONT USE TXT SPK IN UR SONGS

The last one actually was @everyone: I will dock a good 3 points if I see text speak in later challenges. I will be forgiving in the early rounds, but I will drag a bitch quick if we're 5 rounds in the game and I see a "ur" or "tho" in your song.
I hope it comes back because it's such a great place to work on your songs.

I'll try to be more transparent about me as well for everyone's sake.

Glad we agree on it, though!
