I don't mean to offend you, drnrg. You've been harsh yourself on labels you thought weren't giving you what you wanted to hear before, why so defensive now?
This is true and I know exactly where are going with that and yes I'm not too fond of urban pop or trance style that SCP someTIMES incorporates in thier songs, but the huge difference there is that while I might straight hate songs like
What Dyou Want from me and
Transy/Pamsy , I can also straight out praise thier efforts for the Hotblade act or Jay Lehr songs.
What I'm trying to say, is that even when I dislike, or even straight hate a song, I'll state my strong convictions as to why I feel that way. and I'm not reffering to the comments made when I first listen to the previews.

I'm elaborating about this because I want to make it clear I don't express point of views that are not founded by solid impressions. In the end, you can agree with me or not, but you can't say my criticism is based on no apparent reasons whatsoever.
After reading your second post; you are right! I can't say that now. I don't agree, but at least something there to backup your statement.

Jorge, I recall that you made a very similar post to this one several years back, yet you never specified which producers/writers have actually left the eurobeat scene due to harsh fan criticism. I said it back then and I'll say it again now, but it's hard to take this point of yours seriously when you can't drop a few names. But even if you could, these producers/writers most likely had other reasons for leaving the eurobeat scene. I don't know about you but I find it VERY hard to believe a producer/writer would just completely stop creating eurobeat because a few of us didn't appreciate their music. I don't doubt that it was one of many catalysts in their decision to leave, but as a central reason? I doubt it. If these producers were seriously ready to leave the genre after reading our remarks, then that says more about their passion and dedication to the genre (or lack thereof).
I do agree with the magoraty of the above comments, but especially what jay said. If you can't take the heat, then maybe you are in the wrong business. I don't know any producer who has quit the genre because they came across a few negative comments.
Besides people in the music bizz are supposed to feed off thier fans, not the haters, so that would be no reason for them to quit...and seriously I would lose respect for that artist. Mo matter who it was. Besides we are talking about poeple who have been in this bizz for decades and have constantly been reinventing the sound. Eurobeat is a community of fighter and survivors. No way are they are just gonna get up and quit after reading a few harsh words.
It's one thing for a producer/writer to quit to pursue other musical direction, but because x someone says they don't like your song? No F***ing way!
At least That's were I stand.
