Deja vu.....yes he charges for critiques and just about everything else and yes he gets others to do the critiques for him. Is this ethical?....is paying for a critique a worthwhile exercise?.....I do not think so.....the decision is yours. I am of the opinion that you learn the craft and write your own songs not copy what others think or adopt their methods or what they do. There is no short cut or learn quick system. Of course I write songs because I want to not for commercial success. If you want a good critique then post in the Mp3 forum or in the Lyric feedback forums......in amongst the pats on the back there are some pretty honest knowledgable free appraisals from people who write pretty good songs and you will save money. What if Jason Blume or his trained associate does not like the song but everyone else does?...do you go down the road of writing to his formula or stick with crafting your own......we need originality in this world full of clones.
