REVIEWS


I'm not going to put lots of review comments here, because the only reviewer who really matters is you.

I will leave you a few review comments others made on a couple of my songs to give you some idea of how they sounded to other people.

I HATE CHRISTMAS
Market potential 17/30 57%
  • Love your scrooge energy with the perfect accent
  • Finally an honest song. A great mind thinks alike.
  • It's about time some took these Xmas fascists to task
  • I think it's funny, I hope you aren't offending too many people
  • Musical arrangement was not as strong as the lyric
  • Some backing vocals would be nice
  • It would be great to hear a choir do this
  • He knows what he hates [referring to me]
  • The joke didn't work for me personally. Perhaps it lacked self-deprecation

LET'S STOP WHINGING
Market potential 4/10 40%
  • Comical song, very funny, very passionate. VERY original and different. Would be good for a movie or TV show. Like the British accent.
  • Not my cup of tea, but I still had to listen, so that's good enough for me
  • [under constructive comments] I'm not going to whinge

This song won a highly commended entry award in the UK songwriting contest and narrowly missed qualifying for the semi-finals.
