Hi Richard,
With all due respect, the final playlists -- while quirky and fun -- really have nothing to do with musical curation. There's a reason none of those playlists have any subscribers. They don't really show a musical point of view. The only thing that it shows is that the playlist creators were good at putting together interesting song title names.
How about a playlist competition that is music based. Sure you can create a poem based out of the songs names, but the playliist song name order shouldn't tell the story -- the order of the actual MUSIC should tell the story. Kinda like the idea of a DJ when he prepares a set. It should have a flow -- a musical style and a beginning, middle, and end.
Not trying to sound like a sore loser (which I am). And I like the idea of the competition, because I actually discovered some good playlists as I read through other contest submissions. But maybe next time you can do something that is based on musical taste + poetry. Not just poetry alone.
Thanks....
