Thread Name: Criticism at singarounds
Subject: RE: Criticism at singarounds
Just been to a well established singaround here in Yorks.

General standard of performance was exceedingly good. But it included well established singers who always read the words, instrumentalists who really struggled to get their notes out of their instruments, and some teenagers who sung some really introspective modern stuff (The word 'I"' was most prevalent, as it is in modern songs, but how do you criticise it?)

The fact that teenagers were there at all must be a huge bonus.

(Back on topic). You don't criticise it or the performers, unless they ask you for criticism.

You either accept the situation as critical audience or you don't. If you don't, you move on.

But the performers remain. (Hopefully)
