Broadjam Artist: Margie & Art Corey
Song: Driving Home for the Holidays Corey’s

Reviewer: Kate Carpenter

Positive Comments: This holiday song has a jazzy, spooky feel. I like the line “with every beat of the wiper blades my thoughts go back to my childhood days.” The imagery of the snowflakes and dancing children is also creative and emotive. Mending fences is also another great, needful and encouraging motivational message for the holidays.

Constructive Comments: I’m not too crazy about the melody in this song. It seems kind of bland, like it doesn’t go anywhere. It’s almost like you’re talking instead of singing. But maybe that’s what you intended, so forgive me if I am off target here. Merry Christmas, Art and Margey, from Mrs. Kate

Broadjam Artist: Ladee V
Song: Rum Pum Pum

Reviewer: Kate Carpenter

Positive Comments: The artist combined 2 Christmas carol concepts and created a whole new one of her own (All I want for Christmas and the Drummer boy carol). Pretty creative! She’s in love with the drummer and wants him to beat his drum for her for Christmas. The vocal is right on target. The mood is definitely modern/electronic. Background vocals are excellent.

Constructive Comments: Instrumentation seems a little thin in the intro. I thought I heard the word drunk. I’m pretty sure you didn’t sing that, but the enunciation wasn’t too clear. Also you could probably shorten the song to make it more commercial. So…did you get the drummer’s attention?

Broadjam Artist: Delta Burnett Reed
Song: Mary How Could You Have Known?

Reviewer: Kate Carpenter

Positive Comments: Beautiful rendition of a familiar Christmas song about Mary. The vocalist’s performance comes across as poignant, sincere, real and meaningful. The orchestral arrangement is expertly done. A nice addition to anyone’s Christmas play list of sacred carols.

Constructive Comments: Vocal was a bit weak, but pitch-wise very good. Strengthen the vocal performance. Or at least bring it up a tiny bit in the mix.
