I once had a drinking session with a guy who has been a successful songwriter. He said some of the best stuff he's written was for a pop star but it's considered cheesy **** because of who sang it. I think that's true of certain songs.
Yeah I can see how that could happen, no matter how good the song if a cheesy pop act do it then it won't become credible.
Cheers lads, pretty chuffed actually as was up against some decent and more experienced people. Made loads of progress in professional life since beginning that year off the booze.
