WHY COMMENT BUT NOT LISTEN ? THIS REALLY BAFFLES ME, YOU CAN HEAR A GOOD 60SECS OF A SONG WHILE YOUR WRITTING A COMMENT ON A SUB, SO WHY NOT DO THAT ?
I WOULD MUCH PREFER SOMEONE TO VIEW AND NOT MAKE A COMMENT THAN SOMEBODY WHO MAKES A COMMENT AND NOT EVEN LISTEN,
THIS PERSON HAS BEEN COUGHT OUT 3 TIMES TODAY, AS I WAS TALKING ON MSN TO TWO OTHER PEOPLE, WE ALL NOTICED OUR COMMENTS HAD GONE UP AT THE SAME TIME, BUT THE VIEWS HAD ALL STAYED AT THE SAME NUMBER, I AM NOT GOING TO NAME AND SHAME THIS MEMBER, AS I AM SURE HE KNOWS WHO HE HIS,
REALLY WHAT IS THE POIN IN THAT!

Well, gee that is strange...

I often listen but not comment. Time being a factor. But to do the reverse? Why is a good question!

I guess they just want you to know that they think you are wonderful without having to listen

As a famous outlaw once said :

"Git a rope!"

menephes1, that is strange This is now where things go as following:


Ohhhhhhhh, Mr/Mss X, you are soooooooo wonderful, have suuuuuuuuch a great voice, I give you a 10++++++++++++++++

Meanwhile, you're thinking to yourself, "What an (@$%&#!)!" I really sucked on this one, so please stop blowing smoke up my butt, you haven't even heard my sub! Can you beleive that there are phonies like that araound?!?!

Please let us know who he/she/they are, so that nobody needs to bother replying to their commenst either.

I think Jazzy is right.

I don't know why you would want to do that either.

I mean, some people work so hard on their subs....at least give them the credit they deserve! At least listen to some of the song!

Oh well....that's too bad

Yeah. i caught that too. Oh well. Look at this way.....keeps 'em off the street!! I swear, you have to wonder at peoples thinking about things. We get one who subs songs that are not written by them, one who doesn't listen, some who have subbed songs that AREN'T even them singing!!

I blame brain surgery for this!! If you're going to go in for it....Please ASK the surgeon TO PUT ONE IN!! That's the only reason i can think for this insanity....sigh, is 10am to eary for tequila?.....

laughs at this thread......i remember bringing a subject up very simular on another site....and boy did i upset some people ...as i always tend to do hehehe.....by bringing the subject up....the thread i posted there went something like....why comment if ya dont listen to the song??? why give the whooooo oooooo this was an amazing performance when ya know perfectly well the person had either listened to the first 2 lines or none of the sub at all......ok dunno if i agree with this comment to get comments back...cause over the last few days i havent been as active on here as i normally am listening and commenting....and yet i subbed a song yesterday and it did very very well....i honestly believe a majority of the time its peoples taste in music...subs i think will do really well of mine and normally the ones ive put the most effort into for some reason dont seem to work as well....and i honestly think thats cause its not such a popular song i have no doubt and there have been people quite open and honest which is great that they will not comment on peoples subs if its not returned and i can respect that....me personally i listen to as much as i can in the time i am here

I will say one thing....not always are these counters fully reliable....give you an instance....my last sub says i have 27 comments...when i go there ...only 26 are showing....sooo i would say before anyone points any fingers double check

lmho @PHIL SAID..

hmmm ive sat there a few times and thought the same to myself, then deleted my sub

lmho@Melly said..


Thanks giys those comments really put a smile back on my face

Very Good Point Jazzy, your not onoly much better singer than me, but also much better at wording the grammer, thats what I was trying to say

Also @ Casa "Git a rope!":) LMHOO

I cant really name and shame this person,, I and some others were just a little dam peeved for him doing this, without even listening, the mind really baffles at some people, Good Points there Jazzy, thanks

Yeah, I think it best that we not name names!

I don't want to have to deal with that situation. Could you imagine?

In the recent past, we have had trouble on the site because of "they said this & they said that" situation... I never like to get involved with these.

Hopefully, the person knows what they did was inappropriate and will stop. If not I imagine that they will eventually be weeded out and just leave.

So someone gives a comment without even listening, If they don't take the time to enjoy your submission, I feel that it is their loss. With all the tremendous talent on this site (excluding myself) it is extremely fun to hear you.

Oh well, just my viewpoint.

P H I L L

I always have dial up speeds at the end of the month, and it takes a VERY long time to download songs to listen to. I have openly said, "Sorry, but I only listened to the first half of your song" At the beginning of the month, before I get capped, i listen to ALOT... but, you can bet, if I am commenting, towards the end of the month, I did not hear the whole thing. I feel guilty, but, if I downloaded the whole thing, it would take between 15-30 minutes PER song... and then, I wouldn't ever get to hear ANYONE. I hope that isn't too bad, and, i KNOW people work hard on their songs, and deserve to have the entire thing listened to, but, I simply can't, and understand if you would prefer NO listen, over a half listen:) Any thoughts?

I agree. That makes no sense whatsoever. How could one leave an honest comment without even listening to the song. Every single comment I've ever left, I will guarantee you that I listened to every last second of the song. I understand that some people will only listen to a portion of the song, citing time constraints as the reason for it. I guess I can understand that, but if I'm going to comment at all, rest assured, I listened to every second of the song.


@ Sheree... Git a rope! ! I'm surprised that you remembered that! !!

Steve

i had a sense of de ja vous ol then realised the post had been split into sections ...oh duhhhhh me

I remember everything you say Steven.. I am writing a book on you.. remember? 'Famous Outlaw Quotes"

Regarding this topic.. I have seen someone leave a short comment with a website address... and it just feels like a solicitation... when someone leaves a comment.. they know that person is likely to return the favor.... when someone leaves a comment without listening.. it's manipulative.

The End

I agree 100%, Sheree!! I also remember you saying that you were writing a book on me! ! Hope I get an autographed copy of that book! !! I am available for interviews. Have your Mom contact my Mom! !


Steve

I bet our Mom's would have a LOT to talk about... hmmm.. not sure I would want my Mom to spill everything... but I sure would LOVE to hear what YOUR Mom has to say... I give anything for THAT interview!

I'll autograph yours if you'll autograph mine!!

Sheree, If you were to ask my Mom, what is Steve really like? The first thing she'd do is roll her eyes and sigh.... ! Pretty much guaranteed! Ah yes... Steve... The problem child! !


Steve


PS: On the whole autographing thing... (deal)

The problem child is ALWAYS the interesting one!

My Mom would then tell your Mom... "well... he sure turned into a fine singer... he is my favorite!"

Well, I never ever post here, and for good reasons, but I will not sit idle by and have my character assasinated by anyone, cuz we all know who Rob is blaming, and as I told him privately, where crap like this should stay, I have NO WAY TO DEFEND MYSELF. But one thing I do have is balls!

If that's what you all want to think, than think it. Personally, I can give two -oh can't say that word here- what you think...and I'm not trying to be hostile, but I was making an honest effort to listen to every single post on this site, and comment nicely unless the person specifically asked for constructive criticism...why do I do that? For the same reason some of you don't. It's the way I was brought up

But it THIS is the result, I guess it's not worth it to do that anymore. So i'll just continue to do my thing,, and you all can go about your business thinking whatever you want about me, or just ignoring me all together. I have more important things in life to worry about. Sorry if anyone is offended by this, but I can't sit by anymore and let it fester.
