First, let me say thanks for giving me the honor to judge these songs.
They were all really, really good. I judged extra hard, because I knew
that they were going to be competitive. And I was right.
Having said that, three songs absolutely stood out above the others.
But judging among these three was almost impossible. But here is what I
finally decided, after re-listening to them several times.
-
True As Love: What an incredible concept for a song! As you begin listening to the song, you don't realize it's a love song. You ask yourself, where is this going? And when the answer comes, wow!
-
Zipcode: I cried. I cried again. What an incredible message in such a sad song. The imagery is outstanding. The singing is pure. The message is direct. Outstanding job in songwriting. It almost sounds as if it belongs in a Broadway show.
-
We Need More Santas: Once again, an incredibly unique concept. The songwriter had from the beginning. Well done!
