    I've been reading all of them as they're posted, and yes, there are several that I really like for one reason or another - it's going to be really tough to pick the top three. I haven't been ranking them (but of course remember some of my faves). I'm going to go back and go through each one after the contest is closed, counting fingers ready, and probably select my top 10 or 20, and then go from there. I have wanted to comment a lot in this thread, but I've kept the comments to a minimum, since I'm the judge. But I've been paying close attention. :)

    Anything you lose from being honest
    You never really had to begin with.


    Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.
