As far as the Critiquing goes... Well we have had listener X recently that has been stirring things up a little.... Well I think that if you want an honest critique then you need to ask for it. When I am subbing a song that I want an honest critique I make sure I write that in the description. Face it... when you go to a Karaoke Bar, no matter how good or bad you are most people will clap and nobody yells out "Dude You Suck!"... The Critique is SS way of applauding... If you got up at a Karaoke bar and before you started singing and said prior to your sing that you only want people to Clap if they enjoyed it then perhaps you would get an honest applause there as well... Well maybe not.... Anyway... if ya want people to pick your song apart like Listener X then ask them for it otherwise the nice folks here at SS will either not comment at all or they will take the easy nonconfrontational road.
Am I a better person because of SS.... I think so!

Good points John! That's why it may make sense to have a separate SS type area if people want more serious critique (assuming enough people do - and they may not). We'll see how it plays out. If there's no interest I guess we'll go with status quo.
