                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[As a newcomer to this forum I would just like to make the following observation. <br>As hard as it is to write a good song, (let alone writing it in one week) I think it is also difficult to write a good critique someone else's song. <br>I think we should remember that when someone posts a song, they are effectively exposing a little bit of themselves, but they do this because the benefits of constructive criticism outweigh the feeling of vulnerability.<br>This means for the forum readers out there, its ok to criticise a song and say what you really think, because that's why the writers have posted the song in the first place.<br>Of course as a reviewer, you also expose a little of yourself when you post a review, but I applaud anybody with the courage to post a review that may not be quite what the songwriter wanted to hear  <B>as long as it is constructive.</B> Most people learn better when feedback is delivered in a positive way.<br><br>Anyway that's my tuppence worth.]]></content:encoded>
