JPF Home Page Forums Lyric and MP3 Feedback Creative Challenge Forum OPEN MIC/Karaoke Party! Come jam with us!

Thank you Glyn!!

Just keep talking it up. Those who will have fun here will be drawn in! I too felt like "karaoke" was a little, hmmm.... Non-real-musician ??? -ish ?? You know... It's that derogatory word Simon Cowell throws out there to singers.... "That was so karaoke".... But once I started in, I realized how much I was learning and absorbing about song structure, writing, and by listening to others and how each person interprets and phrases the same lyrics, what works and actually, what songs everyone LOVES to sing.

I am also expanding my general knowledge base of songs I never heard before... Stuff not in my usual genres of favorites or that I was too young for, or just plain missed on more current radio.

And if we don't keep abreast of what IS selling and WHY.... How can we improve as current writers looking to pitch any song anywhere?

IE I had never heard Adele before.... But here is everyone singing her hits. And NOW I notice her on the radio... And wow, she IS an amazing artist. And I was introduced to her by ....participating in a karaoke site of all things.

Granted, I've also heard maybe more renditions of "Crazy" and "Fever" than I ever thought I would, but it's all right. Those songs endure and are enjoyed for good reason!!

OK soapbox time over!! LOL

Also... Looks like I picked a week I thought would be fun but is kind of a dud. LOL! It'll happen!! So... Midnight TONIGHT we'll go to Open Mic early... And have a long weekend of it!

PS: and if you still wanna do a movie song... that's cool too
