Obviously she is not cut out to be a mentor to aspiring songwriters, artists and composers. That takes tremendous patience, the ability to teach on the fly, in-depth knowledge, and the ability to be honest while also being encouraging.
As to the quality of music submitted to TAXI - that's exactly why TAXI is in business. Those mis-targetted, poorly recorded or badly written songs... or those mistargetted, well-recorded, good-but-not-great songs would have pitched directly to the industry reps. The job of a screener is not an easy one, trying to help the songwriter while adhering to the needs of the client & only forwarding the best tracks.
I've been to songwriting forums and the TAXI road rally and it's astounding how many songs are put in a genre box that they don't fit. It's like, the solo is a little pop, so let's put that country song in the pop box. I've heard wonderfully recorded songs that went nowhere because they lacked good form. But that's why we belong to TAXI, and SongU, and NSIA, and SAC, etc etc etc --- to learn our craft and get better at it.
I'm glad she "went for coffee and never went back". She didn't have the required skills for the job.
(I work with 28 to 32 aspiring singers a week... so I know a little of what I'm speaking of.)

"The standard by which I now measure the things in my life is the following: If I was on my death bed, or if I knew I had a short time to live, would this issue be important? If the answer is no.. I don't sweat it at all. If the answer is Yes, you better believe it goes to the front of the order of today's business!" -Brian Austin Whitney
