Reviewer: Doug Mayberry

Positive Comments: Amazing!! This sounds like a song that’s already on the radio. Great instrumentation, great vocals, and awesome words. Very well done.

Broadjam Artist: Mark S. Ludes (MSL)
Song: A Shot of Luck

Reviewer: Doug Mayberry

Positive Comments: I loved the hook. This is a very nice song. It has top 10 quality, in my opinion. The instrumentation was superb, and the words were awesome, as well.

Constructive Comments: Not much to say against it. Maybe turn up the background vocals a little bit, but that would be all I would say. Awesome song here.

Broadjam Artist: Denis Hackett
Song: Teardrops From The Sky

Reviewer: Jerry Stenger

Positive Comments: I really like the arrangement, The piano adds a lot to the arrangement. The lyrics paint a lot of pictures.

Constructive Comments: I felt the chorus was to long. The story is yours and you might consider more repitition in the chorus.

Broadjam Artist: StarburstRecords
Song: Stunning Lies – acoustic (Rurack/Thomas/Starburst)

Reviewer: Jerry Stenger

Positive Comments: Good recording and mix.

Constructive Comments: I am trying to understand the Chorus last line “With you my precious sight” perhaps repeating the last Chorus line would hook more.

Broadjam Artist: Jeff Ashbaker
Song: Used to Be

Reviewer: Bill O’Brien

Positive Comments: Great chorus. I loved “Used to be all of you and all of me” Great line about loss. This is in no way a criticism of the song – I’m not sure about the story line and wonder if the writer’s at a funeral. The reason its not a criticism is that makes me want to hear the song more than once. I don’t like songs that hit you over the head with the obvious. This is more mysterious. Makes me want to hear more.Its not clear if the song writer is also the performer, but I love the guy’s voice and the recording.

Constructive Comments: I would imagine a high powered producer might fire up the arrangement, but I’m a folkie and I like the arrangement a lot.

Broadjam Artist: Nigel Barrett
Song: Whatcha Gonna Do (instrumental version)

Reviewer: Who Is DC

Positive Comments: It sounds like he had a couple great instruments in here. It would be great if he would of worked on the arrangement just a bit more.

Constructive Comments: Arrangement could have been better in my opinion that’s whats bothering me about this particular track. but I like where he or she was going with the track it would of been great if the arrangement had more direction and feel to it. Try counting like a songwriter does with bars and it can go beyond what you can imagine. also add a little more effects or something too

Broadjam Artist: Ionut Mirel Udrea
Song: Above Dreams

Reviewer: Marilyn Hall

Positive Comments: Very romantic sounding, like for a movie.

Constructive Comments: Great instrumental. Maybe this could be used as a sync placement.

Broadjam Artist: Kate Carpenter
Song: Manners Rap

Reviewer: Kevin Leon Smith

Positive Comments: This is a great funky tune for the kids! Should not be a problem to place this song in a kid show! Great mix all around: Vocals, instrumentation, and arrangement. Great lesson lyrics on top of a funky beat with an assortment of effects on the backing vocals! Inspires me to take a crack at making songs for kids shows!

Constructive Comments: What could I possibly suggest on a great rap song for kids about manners? Heck, you covered flatulance in the song quite well so you’re pretty much bulletproof as far as I’m concerned! Yeah, the singer does not spit her lyrics Cardi B yet she’s in key and on point! Tell them kids to B# and they will most definitely C!

Broadjam Artist: Vittorio Bianchi
Song: What’s Going On

Reviewer: Kevin Leon Smith

Positive Comments: This is a top notch version of Marvin Gaye’s song! Your arrangement and instrumentation keeps this song alive and fresh! The vocals are clear and on point. Chopped up the pre chorus nicely! Great mix on the instruments as well! Drums and sax parts are holding it down without any by-products! This song is what’s going on! great job!

Constructive Comments: There is not one thing I could possibly suggest to improve this song. Every aspect of instrumentation, arrangement and production are excellent, so I rated it accordingly. Yet, it is a challenge to type in a 5 star constructive comment on what feel is an excellent song. Keep up the good works, B# and you will C!
