Scott Alan has updated his website with plenty of new audio from the Monday Nights, New Voices concerts. It's killer. Check it out.

Genius? Who? I was hoping this was a thread dedicated to him having reinvented himself to someone respectable who enjoyed telling the truth. but alas...it's a thread about him having illegally posted recordings of songs without having paid (and in some cases asked permission from) the performers who sang or the writers who wrote the music.

Is there any way to change the format of the songs into mp3's?

camthom - didnt HE write the music??

re: New Scott Alan#9

Posted: 6/5/05 at 1:47am

camthom is referring to the "Monday Night" concert featuring music from shows that Alan didn't write. But s/he should really get over it. It's not like he's featuring whole or even portions of scores on his website that would prevent someone from going out and purchasing the full cast recording. It's a few random numbers. And God forbid that he showcases fresh faces and new talent on his website... What a monster.

EDIT: BTW, camthom, you really should stop making accusations that aren't based on any evidence. How the hell do you know whether or not Alan asked permission to feature those songs on his website? And who are you to judge his character? Even if you do frickin' know him in real life, leave your personal bias out of the conversation. It's unprofessional and rude.

I'm not quite sure how you can judge me without knowing me, but can put complete faith in someone who has proven personally and professionally over and over again that he is scum.

And 8ball, I know this because in addition to knowing Scott, I know several of the performers singing on his site who are a little ticked off at not having given their permission to have their voice there. It's about common courtesy in calling the actors and requesting their permission and calling the writers (all of whom he seems to be close personal friends with) and saying "hey, can I put your song up on my website." It has more to do with legalities and respect for his fellow artists, than my dislike for him.

So magic8-you think that as long as the whole score is not out there for free, the writer doesn't deserve any credit or payment for their work? Not that this is on the same level, but if Barbra recorded "Home," Scott wouldn't deserve to get credit on the CD or be paid simply because she didn't sing the whole score to PIECES?

Though I am not new at this site, I am new at posting a message, but this needed for my addressing. As someone who has performed in a past Monday Nights, New Voices, I will state with assurance that we, along with the composers, were each contacted about our vocals possibly appearing on his site in TWO mass emails, the second notifying those who's work had been picked.

Do me a favor CamThom and stop lying and badgering Scott's name. I too believe he IS a genius and I am proud saying, his work ethic, after working with him, is nothing short of remarkable. Your words are sad and pathetic and teeter on jealousy and I for one feel sad for you. Enjoy the Tony's !!!!

"I'm not quite sure how you can judge me without knowing me, but can put complete faith in someone who has proven personally and professionally over and over again that he is scum."

Ummm... I'm not judging you. I'm telling you that it's in poor taste to criticize someone who is doing great things for the theatrical community (and YES, he IS... to say otherwise is absurd) based on your own personal dislike of him in real life. Clearly, you missed this point since you CONTINUE to do it. And as for the "professional" part...

"And 8ball, I know this because in addition to knowing Scott, I know several of the performers singing on his site who are a little ticked off at not having given their permission to have their voice there.

The post directly below yours certainly makes you look like a fool, doesn't it?

"So magic8-you think that as long as the whole score is not out there for free, the writer doesn't deserve any credit or payment for their work?

Did I say that? No. I said that featuring one song from a certain score isn't going to deter potential customers from purchasing the full cast recording. Which it isn't.

P.S. camthom, I know TONS of people in the professional theatre world who I despise in real life but would NEVER speak poorly of in the manner that you do Scott. It really makes you look bad.

magic8-you miss the point entirely. The reason Scott should give credit to the other writers on his site is not simply because those recordings may deter someone from buying a whole album. You do realize this right? Legally, writers need to get credit for their work, no matter where it appears or who performs it. AND those writers deserve compensation for their work. And as far as Scott doing great things for the theatrical community, I fail to see where writing some mediocre songs (in my opinion) and promoting his own career is a "great thing." But that's just a matter of opinion and our differing definitions of the word "great."

And Timeisonlytime-I must say your poor grammar looks fairly familiar...like I've seen it on an online journal somewhere.
And while you...I mean Scott claims to have sent a mass email to all the singers and writers, I have spoken to some of those singers (and writers) who claim never to have given permission for such a thing. I guess it's a matter of my word vs. Scott's...I mean Timeisonlytime's.

YES, I REALIZE THIS. BUT HE GOT PERMISSION FROM THOSE ARTISTS.

"And as far as Scott doing great things for the theatrical community, I fail to see where writing some mediocre songs (in my opinion) and promoting his own career is a "great thing.""

You're right. What was I thinking? Because, clearly, developing new material for up-and-coming performers and then featuring them in live shows and online isn't a great thing at all. I'm so happy that the careers of performers in New York City can be sustained solely by landing Broadway and Off-Broadway roles. I'm also ecstatic that most of these performers have so much exposure that they don't even NEED to be featured on a silly website that only a bunch of Broadway enthusiasts visit regularly. WHAT was I thinking? Thanks for setting me straight.

Camthom, don't you have anything better to do??? Seriously, let it go, leave him alone, get a hobby or something.
Magic8, you're 100% right.
