I think audience reaction in singarounds and folk clubs is not always a reliable indicator of performance. These settings are, by and large attended by polite and sympathetic people. This is a good and supportive thing, but may not provide the most objective feedback. I guess your critic was rather too blunt and perhaps you are a little overprotective. My personal view is that if I choose to sing in public, which I do, then I must accept the right of said public to express a view on my performance. john
