"rough demo" has been replaced with "competent facsimile of hit record"

There may be 50 other girls behind this one that may have:

better produced demos (by hit producers)
better photos
better vocal pitch / tone
better looks
better songs
pro management already in place

So while the A&R sit in the board room having a weekly A&R meeting and have the propmo pack / photos / local press / list of industry people all wanting to come aboard in front of them and a stack of CD's. Wouldn't you want the sound coming out of the board room speakers to sound like 'surefire hit'?

(yes is the answer these days)


I'm aware of the popularity of home recording

I just thought everyone sucked (except for me)
