tinydance, Hi. I just want to say that you are not alone when you complain
that some singers are screaming.!!!!
My partner has partial hearing loss in one ear and it just drives her crazy listening to most of what I like ( electronic sounds, Hard Rock, or just high notes that many love as in Adam) Sometimes it is not personal and the sound has become almost painful . Some peeps don’t even know they are walking around with slight hearing impairments.!!!
I, too, really love the composition and lyrics of “Incomplete.”

I played the songs for my 13-year old daugther and she really like both of them, Incomplete in particular – she said that it gave her Lilly Allen, Fergie kind of vibe
I am so happy for Megan, after they treated her during the tour, like she was completely expendable
Good job girl if more of your songs are like that I will buy your CD for sure

I love her song Incomplete. One thing she doesn’t have to scream like other singers.

I couldn’t make it all the way through either of these songs. First of all, what genre would songs like these fall under?

Well, I agree that the genre is most likely a problem if you’re thinking about radio play. But I actually think she does quite a good job on the songs, much better than I’ve heard her before. So she’s obviously working on things, which is what she needed to do, so good for her. I think she did a good job with the Feel Love lyrics, too.

Wow. These songs are so good. Very ready for pop radio hits. I hope she gets the right management and backing. She could be the true dark horse hit from AI.

For anyone who remembers, this is very reminiscent of Basia who did pretty well for herself back in the day. If I’m comparing her to someone current, I’d have to go with Adele (not voicewise, but the jazziness of the songs). Lily Allen is pure pop, not pop-jazz. I think Corrine Bailey Rae is more blues than jazz. As mentioned above, maybe Natasha Bedingfield, although I thing Megan’s voice is more interesting.

I’m completely surprised (in a pleasant way for once) by how good these songs are.

The beginning of Feel Love reminds me of the one girl who sings the Cotton commercial – The touch, the feel, the fabric of your life….

Incomplete sort of reminds me of Natasha Bedingfield. I like Natasha.

Actually, this is probably the best I’ve heard Megan. So good for her.

I think Megan is better listened to after being in the studio… that wild voice of hers does not always translate well live. Good for her, though. I like Incomplete.

Bossa Nova inspired. I like it. It’s a very coffee shop/background type of music… in a good way.

Both of these songs have a young , fresh, and relevent point of view.
Her voice does not sound over produced. May not be everyones cuppa,
but I quite like them. Musically I preferred Incomplete. Feel Love did have some repetition, but I find a lot of current music, esp dance music, has lots of repeditive lines. I like the underlying theme in Feel Love.
I’m so relieved she has marched forward. I thought she had given up on the AI tour,where she went from meh! to Bah! I do think they boxed her into the Barbie model, that so wasn’t her.
So CAW ON Megan…..keep writing…..seriously, not bad for a first effort!!!!

wow, good job. she was a disaster on the show but she seems to have a good grasp of what kind of music she wants to make now. and her musical style is uncommon (or at least not what we usually hear on mainstream radio) so that’s a good thing. i hope she does well for herself.

Very nice. As someone said, what genre would you put her in?

She needs to go to the UK, which is effectively genreless and join similarly sounding singers like Adele, Paloma Faith, Kate Nash, Florence and the Machine, Lily Allen etc most of whom get big critical acclaim. I think she could be successful over there and without much reality show recognition – sometimes a good thing, particularly with the critics.

Like incomplete better than Feel Love. She has an interesting sound – I think she could do well.

I was her fan during A.I. so I’m really happy right now. I like both songs – her voice is beautiful. I’m pleasantly surprised that her music come out in a such short period of time. It’s a good move to release some songs before season 9 of A.I. starts.

Well, incomplete is the better song but I didn’t make it through either of them. But–there are a lot of successful singers that I don’t like listening to. Like shakira on SNL last night. Changed the station then, too.
