Someone else defined this answer exactly:
"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder"
There is no way that ANY piece or art is better or worse than another. It is a question of WHO likes it...or IF anyone likes it, for that matter. If only the artist likes it ..... that's still a viable audience, although the chances for financial renumeration will be difficult.

My money will never be spent on a Picasso, but I adore some of the finger paintings on my fridge, made by my kids. Biased? maybe, but it's MY taste, and it's "my perrogitive". (Maybe the only sensible thing that Bobby Brown ever said)

Art is trendy. It's volitile and subjective. Maybe that's why the artist's are so complex. We all share an inner passion to express mood with media, but in doing that, we open ourselves up to a barage of controversy. As comfortable as I am on stage ..... I respect the stand up comic more than any other performance artist. That, my freinds is FRIGHTNING ! Just a mic between you and the lions .... yikes !

My small suggestion to the writers is to write from the heart. Forget the hooks and the beats, unless you are trying to make money. I believ that a song needs to stang alone before it can please the masses. If it's written well, with feeling and continuity .... maybe others will like it as well.

Look at "Send in the clowns"
Not a very logical, or predictable piece, but so many people love it. It's a game of chance - played with the writer's feelings. I salute you for making the effort.
