When you are having your work critqued, it does not matter what others say. It is merely their opinion, and they are willing to share it in hopes of helping you out. You are not required, or even expected, to edit your song based on what others think.
What they say or think does not matter...THEY have no responsibility to the song. You do, therefore, what YOU think about what they say is what's important. The whole key to getting a critique is in hearing things THAT YOU HADN'T THOUGHT OF.
Ten people can drone on about what word they would have chosen, or that your imperfect rhyme is too imperfect. Doesn't matter. But one guy might say something and--BINGO--a little lamp lights up in your brain and you know you have just gotten a gift. Take that gift and make your song better. Just politely ignore the rest.

"Do not endeavor to be the smartest kid in a dumb class. Instead, you are better off being the dumbest kid in the smartest class, where you will be challenged and you will learn. If you aren't growing, you are dying." -Brian Austin Whitney
