I thought it might be interesting to recap 2012's user showcase entries by creating a thread where people could analyze their favorites in terms of:

1) most original concept for a song
2) best lyrics
3) best accompanying performance on an instrument
4) best vocal performance
5) best overall composition
6) most commercially viable
7) best use of BIAB/RB
8) best mix
9) best approach to the CRAFT of song writing
10) best collaborative effort

if you can think of another criteria for judgement, just add it to your analysis.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go listen thru the past year's songs....

(edit: whoah! There really ARE a lot of them! Maybe that's why other industry awards tend to be won by recent submissions, since those are the ones the judges remember)
