Mixed metaphor alert! (courtesy of Ben the grammar geek)

“Heavy is the hand that wears the crown” – Do hands wear crowns? No. A crown is worn on the head.

Love this band, was dissapointed to google them and find this review. Hope this doesn’t turn potential fans off Jypsi. Love their harmonies.

Did it ever occur to Kevin that “production magic” is what may have screwed it up for him. This group is excellent, and the studio certainly may have changed their sound to something more “commercial” and by doing so diminished their sound. Heck, who knows.

Reviews should be critical (check Webster’s for the meaning if you think critical necessarily means unfavorable), not fan raves, which is what too many seem to expect of reviews.

I agree with Micheal, Well said, That is how a reviewer should review,knowledgeable and objective.
This is a great,very promising, upcoming, act that we will hear a lot from in the very near future…Producer Blake Chancey has gone after these kids with the same enthusiasm as he did producing the Dixie Chicks first 2 albums which have sold over 22 million combined.They are all the buzz on The Row.
Good luck Jypsi, the sky is the limit!

The vocal performance is great, and I think the reviewer Kevin got carried away with his dislike of the song itself and lost his sense of objectivity. This band can sing and anyone who sits back and just listens to the music can’t miss that. As for the song, it is a pop country song, equal in style and simplicity to many very successful pop songs that have been released recently. I always think reviewers have to bear in mind what they are reviewing, and if you’re reviewing a Top 40 song, you have to consider general musical tastes and you can’t be looking for spiritual enlightment or the next Bob Dylan when it comes to lyrics. This is a fine performance of a good Top 40 song and I for one think it is going to do very well, despite what Kevin thinks.

FYI re comments on Arista and label stadards…If you knew the inside of the biz you would know that Arista is still run by the same people since the take over and it has become harder, not easier to get a deal…Jypsi is one of the acts that survived all the employee’s and acts being dropped,and for good reason…One of Joe’s favorite acts to date.

Asking everyone to lay of Kevin is childish on your part,as well as commenting on an album that has not been released and you have had no way of hearing.The critic is open for critisizmand,and to compare Little Jimmy and Neal to a band you have never heard save for one single, shows your colors as well.
The proof will be in time(a very short time) when Jypsi will be on top!Wait and see!!!
