S(O)NGLAND...
Last week (and again last night) I watched a TV show called SONGLAND where unknown song writers go to Nashville to compete. Each week there is a guest music star and three writers chosen to each perform one original song in an attempt to be selected for the star to decide which song to record.The song writers get to perform the first round with their songs in a raw format. There are 3 'judges' who critique the work and offer suggestions to improve each song, especially making it personalized for the guest recording star who appears that week.
Each judge is assigned to one of the writers and they take the raw song massage it (pitch, tempo, lyric changes as necessary) into a finished product. After, they return to perform the finished work where the guest star has to decide on the winner.
While it was no spectacular show of talent by the writers, judges or the recording star, it did give some insight to the music industry as to some of the collaboration required to a good melody and lyric into the viable song!
