I listen to all those groups as well, and I don't really write or produce like them.
But what I do know is my lyrical concepts and my verse melodies had the most angst of any posted on this thread. That is my opinion and when I play it for the young band that stops by the studio, I'll prove my point to myself.

What I had planned to do was take the top 5 entries and sing them over myself,
even though I dislike my voice people actually hire me all the time to sing there songs. Go figure.

This way when I played the entries for my friend who shops my music as well.
He would not be influenced by the vocal. I would fix the timing issues I keep hearing and the pitch issues best I could.

This is a TON of work, so is going back and forth like "I'm bickering with girlfriends smile I hardly bicker with the wife, so I had to go back to girlfriends lol...

I also planned to figure out how to use Mike D's Poll tester and for fun wanted to do a listeners poll here on JPF for the peoples choice winner of the contest...

But I think I made my deadline too long, I'm wiped out from reviewing so many entries alone, and so many have the same main melodies over several versions.

I know who did what, I know who did what first, I know what your hooks are and I was going to be bringing in an outsider to help me out from a fresh listeners percpective.

I know your folding Derek so I may as well let you know your chorus melody
was going back and forth between 5th & 4th place which would have made it to the next stage.

I think we were VERY successful here overall and accomplished many things.
I can't thank you all enough.

I'm a tough dude but you's wore me down smile I'll be back on this thread after the 19th to conclude it...

Thankyou...




Thanks!
Peace Mike
