Judge ~ Doogle
Score ~ 8
Comment ~ Critique – Very strong vocal. This song reminded me of Bon Jovi and Aerosmith ( hope this isn’t
considered an insult!). Very good production. This isn’t my kind of music but I could see people
going for this one.

Score ~ 9
Comment ~ Unique subject matter. well played and produced. Iggy, I love your voice on this tune. Simple
but cool chord progression. this one could get a cut somewhere, with the right artist. tight
lyrics that tell the story clearly.


Judge ~ David Tallent
Score ~ 8
Comment ~ Comments: great powerful and expressive singing. Snare sounds "flat" and dulled. 3rd line of
2nd verse's echo effect at end seemed out of place. It was the singing that won me over on
this one.


Judge ~ Nancy G.
Score ~ 9
Comment ~ Good voice. Great chords. Good message. Sounds complete to me. Good job.




Judge ~ Hazelglow
Score ~ 5.5
Comment ~ Very nicely polished piece of work, plenty of effort gone in there. I liked the overall sound a lot,
but then I’m a sucker for piano-ballady type things... Writing-wise, the verses work extremely
well in their first half – the flow, chording, lyrics are all lovely; but somehow they fall flat each
time by not making it up to any high-point; no real ‘chorus’ as such. I’m expecting the peak,
the higher level, the culmination, but it never happens. This fatal flaw in the basic structure
meant the overall result was somewhat unsatisfying and frustrating for me as a listener.

Judge ~ Melina/Christina
Score ~ 10
Comment ~ Critique: Wow! An instant hit if I've ever heard one. I'll be waiting to hear on the radio soon.
Great intro, melody, arrangements and recording. Super voice and delivery, reminiscent of both
John Cougar and Joe Cocker (without laryngitis LOL). Nice lyrics too. A super production,
cannot see any area of improvement.
