Some people are just CRUEL!

I went to my BeSonic page today and found on my feedback page that this artist lupo.besonic.com/User/0,1...53,FF.html Gave me not one but 4 BAD ratings for my one song. I think that one would have been enough, so much for artist support. I would have expected this from a real listenenr and not some jerk trying to bump me off of the BeSonic charts.

AUTO - why are you advertising this band everywhere? WHO CARES if someone doesn't like our music? My Grandma can't stand my music but I still love her

That was mean that they gave you a bad rating but in this mean mean world of music business, you got to grow a tough skin. It can get a lot worse than that you know! Why do so many creative & fantastic musicians give up? Cause they take all the negativity & bullshit personally. Loads of people hate Britney Spears, Eminem etc. it didn't stop them and it shouldn't stop you! *If it bothers you that much than just do music for fun

And I'm not even sure the people at the top of the charts are that talented but I'm VERY SURE that they ignored negativity and bad press and persevered with their goals rather than brooding over what someone thought about them and their music.

Hi REV!

How ya been!

Chris, the point is this, I don't care if a person does not like my music but if that artist was going to give me a bad raiting then it should have been one time and not 4. To me they did it to try and bump my song down the charts so one of their songs can get bumped up the charts. It's as easy as that. Besides, I would never give another artist a bad raiting and why do you ask that I would never do this? Because I am to nice to be an ass.

Hey AUTO,

don't get angry 'bout that. Especially at besonic.com you will find more of these screwballs. It's a big union of nepotism. In May this year two guys reviewed all of my songs with "bad"!

But I don't care, 'cause it's just cheap! I think they're just filled with envy. For me I can say I like your tunes!

well, here's my 2 cents.

Life is tough.

Don't do music for the approval of others.

Do it because you love it, period.

And keep challenging Yourself to improve, according to your Own Standards.

And if other people don't like it, well, let them go listen to something else, - no problem.

And the rest will take care of itself.

Just Do NOT do music to get approval from others.

That's a losing game, from square one.

Now go make some positive music, and screw the nay-sayers...!!!

Thanks guys!

I do my music for me but like I said before it just seemed like they wanted to bump my song down the charts. One time would have been enough but four times is just pushing it. Besides I'm not upset, I just don't want to be cheated of my chart status.
