Dont forget Michael Jordan got cut from his high school team as a freshman, imagine being the coach of a team who cut Michael Jordan? lol, fire that guy immediatley.

But i think talking about criticism from industry pros is a totally different thing than testing a song on another songwriter. There is merit in it, Nashville songwriters used to say that ANYBODY, could offer something. Doesnt have to be somebody in power or a pro calibre writer.

Now granted, most critiques are dumb and a waste of time, and serve no purpose other than to annoy. Its kind of like a teacher in school not wanting to give the A+, they HAVE to find something.

But i truly believe if somebody is floored by your song, and REALLY think its great, your not gonna hear a critique...maybe a crit on the mix or something. Cause at the end of the day, its either you like it or your dont.
