Practically no one votes in the song contests- why? Please, if you are reading this, have a look at the contests, and give some song a vote!

| davey7865: this site is kind of confusing! lol still learning. it doesn't seem like there's a lot of people on here. it's a shame.

|
| ckbesq: What is really a shame is that even the contestants do not vote! When a song can win with 2 votes, there is something wrong! There are more people on the site than you would think (see listings) but apathy reigns. A $100 prize is nothing to sneeze at, but it should not be won with one or two votes! Come on, people, listen to the entries and give someone the respect of a vote!

ckbesq:
Can someone explain what the idea is for reviewing the songs of an artist? Is it to critique the voice, the words, the tune, or the overall value of the song? If it is not a professional recording, but a good song, does that merit a low score? There are a lot of variables at play, I know, but it seems that when someone says that they love the music and the words but the instruments sound a little cloudy and thus give a rating of a 3, there is something wrong with this process. Not everyone has professional recordings of their music (actually very few!)- but there needs to be some standards for review, don't you think?

| Mahdi Kayvan: Yup! you're so right. Even the popular music labels don't expect you to send them a high quality song to choose and promote you. They actually focus on other variables. So I guess the quality is not a matter to give a low score and judging so, is truly wrong.

Strontonio: Dear ckbesq,
A wonderful song about a wonderful place. I can just imagine an orchestra behind you while you sing this song.I love your guitar playing as well. Outstanding !!!!

| ckbesq: Thanks so much for the very gracious compliments! Much appreciated, Stontonio.

| SueClayton: I know what you mean. The site says if you give 4 stars it means the work is good and that the reviewer should offer some advice on how to improve the song. It's very very frustrating to get a review that says "excellent song - great this and that..." and then you get 4 stars. Ahhhhhhh!!! Thanks for noting that on your profile page. I'm so happy to see that someone else feels the same.

| davey7865: I think that Songwriting > Performance > Recording Quality. But they're all going to play a major part in how people feel about your songs.

|
| SueClayton: I have also noticed that some people give a low rating when they don't like a particular genre of music. No fair!

| SueClayton: If we lived closer to each other I'd say let's get together and sing. I love singing harmony. I bet we'd sound great together! Maybe next time I pass thru Texas. My husband and I drove through there last March. Really loved it!

|
| ckbesq: Well, Texas is a big state- you have to try to get near San Antonio or the hill country to be anywhere close to me, but I'd love to meet you and make some music. I don't have a real good ear for harmony. Occasionally I get it right, but being a solo artist I've pretty much only done melody! Love to hear harmony, though. Keep me posted on your travels.

| SueClayton: Hi, We only did the top of the panhandle and down around El Paso, last March, but I'd love to see more of Texas. And if - no, when - we do get back there, on a vacation, we'll be free to go wherever we want ...So..... I'll sing the harmonies! Until then, shine on on FanMusic!
