Listen Once you press play, you can stop the playback from here, and the pop-up will disappear


Theme: Roll Over Beethoven (by Electric Light Orchestra) ~ What do the The Beatles, the Bible and The Pittsburgh Steelers have in common? Well according to the Pittsburgh Tribune – they’re all classics. But in the artificial & disposable market place we know of today, are we devoid of things like that - with true meaning and lasting significance? What is a classic and what have we lost? ~
RRA: This week's Regular Rotational Airplay went to Kelly Pettit with the song She´s Just Like Summer.

REVIEW:
Speaking of classic songs... How about this one? It´s one of those songs that feels like it will stand the test of time. The structure, the depth, the performance - it´s all here and it feels like it won´t get old! Simply great!
REVIEW:
Another classic song here! But the production is the one thing that needs to stay in step with the times. An otherwise exceptionally good song, it might struggle for wider acceptace, simply because of the way it sounds. Still - we loved it. It extremely catchy and really well performed and written!
REVIEW:
A very ´´major-label´´ production style here, and this cuts both ways. It´s got that contemporary vibe which means that it should do very well indeed on the commercial market, but it also feels a bit ´´mechanical´´ and therefore a lot of people will ask themselves is it timeless? It´s certainly *very* catchy and hugely enjoyable, and while we weren´t all unanimous about this track, the majority of us totally got it and loved it!
REVIEW:
What an excellent singer here - and an extremely beautiful song! It´s subtly catchy and truly classy. It reminded us slightly of Extreme´s ´´More Than Words´´, but only in the general feel and groove. This is just an acoustic demo, but it´s so powerful, it´s virtually ready to get out there and do some damage. Excellent in every way, and we´re looking forward to more!
REVIEW:
Nice and tight - just the way we like it! Good song - catchy and powerful, although we felt the vocal could use more expression in places. Don´t misunderstand this we loved it and thought it´s great but there needs to be some more attitude in it. The chorus was quite powerful but we felt the recording you´ve sent in was a bit overcompressed and that zapped some of the power. The 70´s/80´s vibe works well in this song so stick with it!

THE VERDICT:
Congratulations on pulling it off once again. Great track!
THE VERDICT:
Casey is definitely a heavyweight contender on Fame Games. Looking forward to much more!
THE VERDICT:
It´s possible to A&R production skills for a short sample (like what you´ve sent in), but it´s hard to be completely sure about the songwriting and performances. We´re looking forward to more from you - full versions this time!
THE VERDICT:
This is not the kind of style you´d normally associate with Sri Lanka! In fact, this is a potential crossover hit - with only a few minor production adjustments. Well done!
THE VERDICT:
Ok guys, let´s hear some more - this is a very promising demo on all fronts!
