My point exactly...

Aside from working on my own material, I also work with other writers/artists. I know in my mind I can polish a turd or produce the shit out of an otherwise shit song. I do it all the time.

Sometimes I'll take a so-so song with only vocals and acoustic and show it to one of the Publishers I work with who advocates that "he can always tell a hit song". He rarely likes it in it's rare form. Then a few weeks later, I will bring him the "full blown produced version" sometimes with another title to throw him off and he will almost like it much better...he will go from - I don't think this is the one - to - I think we might have something here - What gives ?

I have done this with many songs in the past few years with people who say they can hear a "hit song" when they hear it. Mind you, I know good songs when I hear one, but the point is that if you take an average song and give it "The Treatment" you can certainly turn it into something...
