One thing's for sure:

Yes, but it's hard to imagine it would be any other way.

Thanks for the response, AT. Re the 2 songs which were successful, it's "normal" that foreign vocalists will probably nearly always mispronounce English words and that there'll probably still be mispronunciations even after revisions; but the 1st bad experience was down to the leaning curve as well as bad luck; while the 2nd disastrous experience was 10% learning curve and 90% horrendous luck in that I ended up with a dishonest vocalist who couldn't understand the simplest instruction, while the previous ones understood the same job from the get-go. Then the problem re money being the freelancer' prime directive is that some will take on a job purely for the money and won't make the effort to deliver quality.
