Hey Earl. I will be coming to England next year to hangout in the music scene. My wife gave me a hall pass to make a go at music. I'm here in Hollywood now and they are trying to get me to do shows, but I only have 1 or 2 shows left in me and I'd rather do them in Europe. I would love to hook up with you when I get there. Take care. Ron
Hi Ron.hope you're good. Let me know your plans
It's only my oppinion. I've gotten reviews from it sucks to outstanding on the same song. I listen to songs as if they were a single. To me a "movie song" is not a good single. Please learn to take criticism, even if you think it's stupid. It's only 1 data point. If you only hear it once then ignore it. If you hear the samething multiple times, then maybe it needs to be heeded. The stupid one make the good ones even sweeter. I was not trying to be cruel.
well that's a misconstrued concept! MARKET POTENTIAL... there are several markets and if your song is doing well in TV/FILM or even radio remember all of those mediums are markets.. Someone can make more movie by movie placements as oppose to selling s single. Keep that in mind! Open up your thinking! There are plenty of singles what industry labels thought were hits to have them turn out as flops. SO again whatever market it is... does it have a market potential? Thanks and yes you are the only one to give a low rating on that end.. so I'll do as you say and ignore it! The other thing is you tout like you give criticism.. why not in your review you leave some pointers.. like hey this can be fixed? or trying adding more drums? the piano could be a bit more aggressive here.. (EXAMPLES).. anyway thanks!
When I think about a 'marketable single' I say to myself "If this song came on the radio, would I turn it up and listen." You could listen to my music and say"'He's got a nerve, his stuff sux" It is easier to criticize than it is to create. I could never come close to creating a piece as complicated as yours. I don't know enough to tell you how I would improve it. You are obviously a very talented person. What we do is subjective and not everyone is going to "get us". Smokey Robinson said the first think songwriters should develope is a thick skin. Believe me when someone doesn't like my product, it stings. But if I don't see any valuable tid bits in their critizism I let it go.
I get where you are coming from. Yes, I've received unfavorable reviews many times however its usually constructive and I embrace those no matter how hard it may be to take. So that's not an issue for me. My skin is very tough. However, I get bothered when something doesn't make any sense. There you go again narrowing what is meant by "Marketability". You can be so narrow minded to say single market. What if this song can sell an emotion or scene in a movie or Advertisement. I am only tellin u think to broaden your scope on the issue. There's a bigger world than radio. Just keep that in mind for other reviews.
And lastly. You were rating an instrumental therefore how can u use your narrow judging for just "radio" purposes. Who releases insrtrumentals to radio for major spins? Think about that. Now how many instrumentals do u hear behind movies/advertisments/websites. Therefore my point being think broader about marketability.
I dont get your review. How can you say "Made for You" instrumental can be great for a FILM and then give it a 1/5 for market potential. WOW!!! Also this is RnB listen to the version with vocals.. Also listen to classics by Whitney Houston or Mariah carey with this similar style. MC - Without You or Whitney Houston's - I Look to You. Thanks for the terrible/strange review. I will be reporting you to Broadjam. Thanks!
He's a bitter soul. Did the same thing to me. Be sure to mention abuse on my behalf as well.
I notice.. It's sad though!
A lot of people take this review thing to seriously. They think that if they give a good or great song a bad review, it gives them a better chance @ top 10. The reviewing process here is greatly flawed. Just keep reporting it.
in the past 4 weeks ive had 3 reviews scrapped by broadjam as they were deemed non constructive...
who are we talkin about? some guy named elester steele, I think, gave me a pretty bad review too. how do you get songs on the top 10?
Activate the songs you want reviewed (by clicking the red shield beside em) and then do as many reviews as possible.
oh ok, thanks. so the more reviews you do, the more you get?
Harsh comments and scores won't advance your played out career. Please evolve. If Charlie Wilson can do it, so can you. Thanks for nothing.
Great review of 'Like This' Thank you. I agree with you suggestion on the drums. Someday I'm going to remix ALL my tunes. I've learned a lot over the last 6 years from people like you.
I enjoyed that tune a lot!!! Best of luck!
Hey Elegant, Thanks for the review of 'Platonic Sex'. You and I have the same asperations. I just want to write songs for REAL singers. I bascially a lyricist. Good luck to you brother. Ron
Thank you for your encouraging reveiw of 'Long Time Coming'. I listen to your music and it made me stop what I was doing. I just kicked back and enjoyed it. I listen to every song. "Easy Listening" is eactly what it was. Good luck to you. Ron
Hi Ron! Thanks for the connection and so happy you liked the music! Someday I hope to write music like yours!
Thank you Sweetheart for your honest review of "Who's Your Daddy'. I have more fun writing the songs than singing them. I wish I had started singing earlier, then I would know how to "bring it" you'd be surprised, or maybe not, how many people think I am holding back. I wish I was, but that's the best I can do :-) for now. Good luck to you.
Hey Sirfreddie I wanted to thank you for your positive review of 'Daddies Need Huggin'. It always a good feeling when someone likes a song that you've written; which I'm sure you are aware of. And even when someone dosen't like a song, it makes the positive revews evern sweeter.Good luck to you. Ron
wazz up
Thanks Ron for your review of 'Feels Good' & if your serous about collaborting e-mail me @ WallaceDavis@HuskyRecords.com HUSKYRECORDS.COM sign the guestbook. I like your music.
Hey Tommy, thanks for your review of El Balanceo. That actually is the backing track for one of my vocals. I wanted to see if it would hold up as an instrumental. Take care Ron
I hope I was fair, honest,and constructive! I find myself with songs in need of voice and lyrics-first they are posted as instrumentals with trombone,sax,etc. melody in place of the voice.TT
hows it going? nice sound! SPOKEN WORD whos your daddy... ahaa
"Daddies Need Huggin"???...I told you you were sensitive!!! Great song, and that voice!
Your review of 'I Love' made me laugh. "Comey", perfect!
Hey Robert I really like your smooth sound; especially 'Without You'. Do you have any full CDs?
Hey Ron, thanks for the kind words. I do have CD's available you can go to my website www.jakartarecords.com and listen to what I have. Thanks, Robert
Hi Ron, I totally agree. "Brand New world" is great! It's sooooooooooo Ron Parks! Only you could have come up with that idea! My compliments... Carolyn
Ron - just to say, 'Brand New Word' has come out REALLY well, I love that song. (Needs to go on a wedding site!!) Earl
Great review of 'Soft Side', "sing it like you aint got the rent'! I'm too self conscience to really let go, I've tried I just don't have it in me. I wish I could. I console myself by saying I'm just a songwriter. Take care. Ron
"Who's Gonna Rock My World' is a killer tune. You guys did a great job, I love it. Hugs Ron
Hi Ron! I just got back from my vacation last night. How are you? Thanks for your sweet comments about "Who's Gonna Rock My World". Honestly, it's Earl who's the genius. He did almost all of it. I just added the lyrics to the verses. What are you up to? I'll write you an e-mail later today. Baci....
hey ron,my two best friends in the whole wide world for many years-jim and jon hager,the twins who starred on hee haw for many years would have loved the cock of the walk song-it's all about having some fun/peace-joe.
Hey Joe. Thanks for the kind review of Cock of the Walk. You're right, it is fun to do live. I write all of these love ballads and Cock of the Walk is my most requested tune; from both men and women.
Hey Ian, Thanks for your honest review of I Want To Know Love. I agree your assessment. I wish I was a musician and I could play what I hear in my head. But I am basically a lyricist and I can't convey to my co-producers what I'm hearing in my head. Although I must admit I like the old school sound and to me simple is better. One of the things I didn't like was the drum track. The tough reviews make the good reiviews that much sweeter. Thanks again. Ron
I see you are from Cincinnati. Ever run into Bootsy? All the best!
Hey Nigel. I wanted to thank you for your review of 'Soft Side'. Now that's what I call a consrtuctive review.
You're a very good singer/songwriter, continued success!
Thank you very much. I see your stuff all over the BJ charts. You have some outstanding tracks. I hope you getting the success you deserve. Ron
Hey Jim, Great insighful, helpful reveiw. My sax player is a guy/friend named Rock Hedricks. This guy lives about 1 mile from me and he is phenominal. He is on Paul Hardcastle's latest album (it may not even be out yet). I'm glad you are into smooth grooves (I call us Smooth Heads). Take care. Ron
Ron.... it was a pleasure to review you music.... 'smooth' is the groove.... I hope you will always continue to share 'the mood'... in all the coming years.
