Everyone is a self-proclaimed critic these days, even your blog, for example. Craps sells! YouTube and American Idol prove it, so does the Internet where most of the crap lives.


Hey Artist,

There's 2 points here..... so to the first one.... no, I'm not a critic, and haven't and won't be giving critiques. As a musician, composer and arranger, I'll let the music presented speak for itself. It's what I find clever, and musically and socially engaging. If others agre, they'll have a listen. If they don't , they won't. So it's democracy in action.

Second, you're confusing 2 different business models. Idol is entertaiment and makes hundreds of millions. Youtube is a flawed business model, on account that the huge bandwidth involved, does not cover advertising revenue. Estimated 2007/2008 loss ? $470 million.

Ya gotta get to know your media.....

cheers, niteshift
