\"Kate<\/p>\n

Broadjam Artist: <\/b>Kate Carpenter<\/a>
Song: <\/b>Bounce House<\/a><\/p>\n

Reviewer: <\/b>Earl Jenkins<\/a><\/p>\n

Positive Comments: <\/b>This is a fun song. It’s managed to find the fine balance between being funny for kids, and also having something for the parents in the audience.The vocals are great — lots of inflection and emphasis, without being over-done. And the singer’s voice is pretty much perfect for this kind of song.I wondered about the piano arrangement at the beginning, until I realized what kind of song this was. Then I just let the rather impressive finger-work carry me along for the ride. Nicely done.Also, you’ve done a great job with the bridge and the final verse. This song tells a story, and teaches about consequences, instead of just repeating the same (wonderfully) silly idea of an old lady wanting to be a kid again in the bounce house.<\/p>\n

Constructive Comments: <\/b>Not much I can really complain about in this song. I’d say the piano work could amp up the interest a little more with some “silent movie”-style dynamics. And the switch to the head voice at the very end is weaker, vocally, than the rest of the song. Maybe go more operatic or church-choir-ish so that it packs more of a punch?Oh, and one more thing: maybe make the scream a little more cartoonish? It’s almost too real. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
