" You are insulting other peoples opinions because they are different from yours."
Sorry Dick - no I'm not - I do find the tone of a number of them sycophantic and unnecessarily gushing.
If you wanted a discussion on your singing you should have said so; if you wanted a response to the review, you should have put it up in full alongside your clip. In not doing so, you are asking people to judge something on the basis of half a dozen words.
Having witnessed, and been the subject of savage reviewing and having had a grandstand view of the damage they can do (we were discussing one that actually created a split between the UK and Ireland music scenes only last week), I do believe they have to be thoughtful and honest, but criticism is a neccessary part of being a performer - stick your bum out of the window and somebody's sure to paint a face on it.
And BTW - nobody is trying to stop you from singing (not here anyway) - but we're always happy to give advice and share our opinions, should they be asked for.
