Song: Wanda the Wiper

Reviewer: Redlady8029

Positive Comments: You had me from the first note. I loved the vocals and Harmonica. Did you like specific instrumental parts–vocals and Harmonica 1) Does my intro make you want to hear the song? yes 2) Does my opening line draw you in and make you want to hear more? yes 3) Is my melody interesting? yes 4) Does my melody get stuck in your head? yes 5) Does my chorus stand out and take the song to a higher place? yes.

Constructive Comments: I loved that Harmonica break you had after the chorus–just lovely. The lyrics were great with specific details. Wishing you that best with this song. Happy writing. 6) Is my chorus easy to sing along with after one listen? yes 7) What does my song make the listener want to do? Dance? Cry? Laugh? Sing? Sing along 8) What universal emotion does my song tap into? fun and catchy 9) Is my idea strong enough to carry an entire song? yes 10) Would I want to listen to this over and over in my car? Yes.

Broadjam Artist: Derrick Procell
Song: KEEP MY DREAM ALIVE

Reviewer: Kate Carpenter

Positive Comments: This is one of the best “wannabe” a full time musician songs I have ever heard on or off Broadjam. The lyrics are well crafted and sung with passion and a good dose of country twang that truly made me smile. The story is set up well and concludes well. Love the reference to the Grand Ole Opry. Band is tight, love the drums and harp.

Constructive Comments: All you need now is a great fiddle player. I really hope you do achieve your dream…or have a blast getting there. Do you have what it takes? I think so! But I’m no expert. I absolutely LOVED this song!

Broadjam Artist: Ante Novaselic

Constructive Comments: Vary the percussion.

Broadjam Artist: Fred Kimmel
Song: Kitty

Reviewer: Kate Carpenter

Positive Comments: Not sure if this is a metaphor comparing a cat to a girl, or if the girl’s name is Kitty. Either way, this is a song about escaping the confines of home and getting outside back into the world. Smooth vocal with plenty of emotion, great instrumentation. Nice work!

Constructive Comments: Seek Emotion. See Commotion. All sounds the same. Until I looked at the lyrics, I couldn’t figure that one out. I don’t know how you can fix it, either. Your voice is so smooth I like the way you phrase it I just didn’t get it. Intro is WAY too long in my opinion.
