I was working for a publisher many moons ago and we used to get some pretty poor stuff to listen to in DEMO form
Why poor ? you may ask , Badly sung , Long boring intros Poor prosody re runs of well known hits
One guy sent in a list of thirty songs and said I am sure you will find something here, NO Way ! That would be thrown in the bin without a listen in general , but listening to the first song on his list would confirm the rest would be pretty awful
This is not only typical of wannabe writers , In every profession especially those involving sport and entertainment, 98 percent of those applying are completely unsuitable Its a fact of Human Nature
These comments are not intended to be me acting like a Know It All , just pure facts of life Sadly badly sung demos are a complete turn off , and if the sender does not realise that how are they going to improve ??
If you are posting here surely , you are looking for feed back , it does not mean a badly written song , comes from a fool or a low life , but we can only judge by our personal experiences of the profession , Sending a song off to a Publisher , does not even guarantee the song will be listened to, there are not enough hours in the days and most Publishers only accept songs from established writers.

One of the most important principles of songwriting is to remember that a good song is a partnership of many different components, all working together to produce a satisfying musical experience.
In that respect, song components are either enhancing or compromising their combined effects.

"Whether your next song is #1 on Billboard, or a critical failure by all measurable standards, go look in the mirror. You are the exact same person you were the day before your received the news. Never forget that." -Brian Austin Whitney
