OK. Let me rephrase.

As listeners, when we discover a singer has an unpleasant, unprofessional, and cringey vocal, we are not supposed to hurt his feelings by telling him he is out of tune. Starting a mostly peaceful protest, also known as sharing a constructive criticism in the forum, is not always appreciated and considered political correct. Instead, what we should do, is simply skip this singer without saying anything, and move on to the next one.

In this way, not only the singer can continue to enjoy uploading his songs without knowing he is out of tune, but also the listeners can continue to enjoy other people's songs with better vocals. It is a win-win deal, isn't it?

It's a good starting point for people who are new to the forum smile

I always ask for feedback, good or bad, because I'm here to improve. There are some damn good ears here.
And I can handle negative feedback, whether it's objective or someone just doesn't like my style of music.

When I comment on other people's music, it depends on the person, some can handle criticism very well, others not, some I just don't know well enough.
But in any case I am always polite and write constructive feedback.

And my last point: you can't make blanket judgments for everyone.
If someone is a great singer, songwriter, producer and whatnot, I address small nits (if there are any).
If someone is a beginner or just less talented, I address things that are achievable for that person.

And lastly, I always try to find something good in a song or performance, there's (almost) always something to like about a song, and I want to encourage people to write more music.
Even the worst song is better than no song at all.
It's all about the music!
