Everyone has an opinion they feel they need to share....

Hey Hey!

So it's been a few days now since I've started telling everyone that One For You is now available for download! Exciting times! I don't know yet how many downloads there have been, but I'm sure I'll find out in a few weeks or so :-)

A promotional pack has been made of me which is being sent out to industry contacts...so it's the big will they or won't they like me!!!

All my friends have been sharing the link to iTunes as well which is really kind of them, I'm getting so much support it's really nice! One of my friends even promised she would work behind the bar of a pub if we get it on the download chart!!! Love it! - I reckon a lot of males would be downloading purely for this outcome haha!

There was a comment left on a facebook status from a guy I don't know who said that he listened to a couple of lines of the song and decided not to download it. I know it's not a bad comment and I know people could be so much ruder.. But reading it really hit me. It hit home that not everyone is going to like the music, my voice or maybe just not like me. Which is fair enough... everyone has an opinion, but reading it really did open my eyes to what I could expect from the future if my career is a success.

You might think I'm crazy for writing this blog entry because it might put doubt in other peoples minds, but this is all part of the journey of becoming a professional singer... I'm basically putting myself out there to be under constant scrutiny of every aspect of my life.

Magazines highlight celebrities flaws and put them in the public eye for everyone to see. I'm guilty of reading it, or looking at the picture and judging. Now (although on completely massively smaller scale) I'm experiencing it on the other foot!..or is the saying the other shoe??

It's a known fact that if you have a good experience you may tell 4 people, but if you have a bad experience you tell 10 people. I'm finding that when reading people's comments I'm forgetting all the positive feedback I've had and focusing on one persons opinion. I think I need to Man Up!!

There isn't any point dwelling on the situation, everyone has an opinion and they are completely entitled to it, I'm not disputing that.... I just hope other people form their own opinions. Everyone has different taste, that's life!

One For You, is about the people who supported me and encouraged me and also to inspire other people to follow the dreams that they can achieve... This One's For You :-)
