mcentertainment - Hmmm, okay let me chew on that idea for a bit.

I am not certain exactly how I would set this up - I will play with a few concepts and see what I can do.

I may need to start a new topic to cover this, because it is getting jumbled with this topic and which is getting extremely long. Some new readers may not be able to follow it without reading every post & that could take sometime. :)

likestolisten - thanks for the input I and, I am certain, others appreciate it!

BeachHeadBum - received your PM and responded briefly. I do want to elaborate on it but I need to think about that more.

tonmay - I read your post and I don't think you were meaning to be offensive to anyone. I appreciate your insight and feedback.

AllStar - I agree many times adults act more like children than kids do!

NeverHeardOfHer - I agree! "Rank all you want, just please check your intentions before commenting! "

OldPaint - Thanks for the contribution. I agree with you, especially with your answer to Q2 & Q3! Well and Q4, for that matter! :lol: 8)

To anyone else that I may have missed - I read the forums regularly as you can probably tell - and I respect and appreciate everyone's feedback, input, criticism, and compliments.

To everyone a BIG Thanks for making this site and all the sections such a big success. I would like your assitance in one more matter, please spread the word to all your friends , family, and aquaintances about this site! I would like to see it grow even more!

:arrow: I will be creating a special section where you can download banners to place on your websites** in the meantime please place a link to KaraokeScene (www.KaraokeScene.com)

Phill

** Commercial Self Promotion! <-- I'm allowed 8)
If you have a website, why don't I know about it? Did I do it? If not why not? :) If you already have a site, remember I offer affordable web hosting also!

Oops - was fixing a few items and well I goofed...

It is now set so that all members can rank as long as they have submitted at least one song.

my lord this is a longggggg book.. lets see if i can make it longer...lol...i didn't know any of this was going on....the problem with hidden rating is this...i'll use my songs as an exsample.....i have seen myself getting 9's.... to me a 9's a great score....butttttt, something was wrong with it to get a 9.... my average on a song might be 9.3 r something....i would read the comments trying to see who might have giving me the 9's... no clue as to who did it....

Heck i love a 9, but please tell me what i did wrong....i really don't mind....trash my song i don't care....i like ratings, they have there place i think....but without the proper comments to back it up they mean nothing except u didn't like it...ok u thought something was wrong with it...what i don't know but something....i don't like hidden rating for that reason... and the reason they don't tell u what they think u/i did wrong is then u just have to read to tell who gave u the lower rating....if there honest then no need to hide there rating we will know who it is anyway....does that make sense?...lol....what i would love to see is this....each person post on there song what THEY think a good rating would be for that song....is it an 8 to them?...i'm betrting no one would give themselves a 10.....so why complain if u get lower then a 10 ?
if i posted a song saying i think its an 8, (and be truthful with urself) and i get a 9...thats great, if i get a 7 heck thats only 1 point below what i thought it was anyway....still not bad....to listen to my own songs and say...nope no mistakes in this song...lol...is crazy...i hear plenty in my songs....so i can't be unhappy with less then a 10.....

i did notice on another site one guy asked for honest comments and rating and started getting 8's, he couldn't understand that...he was a very good singer to....so he was upset looking at all those 10s other people were getting and here he was a better singer gettng 8's....he pmed me asking why...i told him because he wanted HONEST COMMENTS AND RATINGS....the others getting straight 10s were not real 10s just token 10s....there 10s if honest would have been more like 7's....some of that is going on here.....i hand out plenty of 10s myself....to those i know want honest ratings i give them honest ratings....it just seems that when i try to be honest they still get a 10...lol...there very good....

now as for as how much does emotion play in ratings? i really don't know, its different for every person i'm sure....
not to mention any names butttt...lol...BBQ does not have the best voice on this site as i'm sure she knows.... a good one but not the best...(god i hope she doesn't get mad at me) but when it comes to emotion and just having a blast singing shes a 10 in my book....i just love hearing her sing....i tell her it makes my day and it does to....if someone can sing and make me cry, weither it be a sad song r a happy song (tears of joy) they get a 10 from me....
i don't have guidelines on how i rate....depends on the singer, if i were a judge going by guidelines that would be different, but i'm not nor do i want to be a judge....i don't think judges will work...like kathy...been there done that....

now if someone comes to me and says....( i want u to be honest in ur comments and ratings...i will be very honest but fair....thats all i can do....but the bottom line is its JMO...for what its worth...like anyone elses on here, no better no worst....sooooooooo
i don't mind the hidden ratings as long as there honest in there comments, but by doing that i will no who u r...biggggggg deal, i don't care, rate me fairly with fair comments..... did i make myself clear???? I BET NOT...lollll..tyyyyyyyy anyway

This is why I'm suggesting the "Charting" technique. in how ranking is done. read the "More Suggestions" topic.. not many here really know how to give an appropriate rank.. (or really care to) if you really want your song judged.. send it to an recording industry professional outside this site. That is the best advice I an give you. Or ask Phill or Peter Parker if they have the time to listen to it. :idea: :wink:

Bum.... i trust anyone on here to give there honest opinion....to me its like someone who judges movies...how the heck do they know what i will like?...lol...they have there opinion on whats good i have mine....i go watch a movie get got 2 stars...i loved it i gave it 5 stars...was i wrong? how could i have liked that movie if they didn't? i mean there suppose to know what movies r good and not good right?...not to me...let me judge for myself.... i will note what they had to say but i want to see it for myself.....

i mean THE people that r suppose to know what there talkinhg about.. turned down elvis presley...turned down allen jackson, theres a long list. i'm betting everyone got turned down at one time r the other by whom? ...PEOPLE THAT MAKE A LIVING JUDGEING PEOPLE....the people that buy the cd r normal people...ok except the punk rock people there not normal...lol...j/kkkkk....
they buy what they like.... thats the bottom line...and every person has a different opinion on what they like....as they should....its funny but ...and i'm sure u noticed...but if simon listened to someone and liked them wellll, then he was the greatest, he knew what he was talking about...butttttt if he hated the singing well then it was... well siomon doesn't know a thiong about singing anyway he must be tone deaf not to like MY singing...lol...truth is its JUST HIS OPINION....so i don't mind anyone on here judgeing r rating me...if there fair with themselves while doing it...thats all anyone can ask of anyone....am i ramblin again? yessss...gotta go..... POOF

Hi Phill,
I would just like to say that I wish more people would rank. I only have 2 subs on this site so far but I was hoping for an honest ranking but havent received one yet. I agree that rating everyone a 9 or 10 does belittle the ratings system, however, if you are so moved by a performance that you honestly think it deserves a 9 or 10 then that is a great compliment for the singer. I would like to see the rankings brokes down into genres. That way we could have top 10 rock song, top 10 country song, top ten pop song, etc. It would be exciting if everyone would honestly rank a song when they listen to it, and it would be a challenge to try and make it to the top of your primary genre. Just a thought. And by the way I love this site.

You may select the genre in the Top Songs...
