What pointers are there for you to be able to measure if you've created something that people will like and will be singing back to you when you sing it live. Well first things first all music is subjective, even the most successful songs aren’t liked by everyone in the world.

You're there just about to go on stage and you're feeling under prepared. You're worrying if you will forget the lyrics and what to say in between songs. It was a last minute gig and you haven't practiced much recently. Well the thing is if you're a singer or musician that wants to and enjoys playing live there's always a chance that a last minute gig may come your way. This is why it's always good to practice and rehearse your songs and your set so you're gig ready whenever the opportunity comes.
