This blows and your music is dull and lifeless. It sounds bad & you should feel bad!

Well I guess we know what happens when you put the music from phantom and Love Never Dies together in a blender... And throw in some muffly synthesizing

Someone needs to work on building their online presence rather than being openly hostile and using terrible grammar. (And yes, despite several other candidates out there, I do mean you, taorminateatrogroup.)

So "Angel of Music" is usable as a song title or show title, as long as it shares no common lyrics (beyond nine successive words, I believe) and no common notes (beyond 12 consecutively). That would be plagiarism and a copyright infringement of the score.

I'm not sure where you're getting those numbers, but they're incorrect. Contrary to popular belief (I've even heard Stephen Schwartz perpetuate this rumor), there is no set number of notes that are "allowed" before you run the risk of being sued. Think about it; there are only 12 notes in the entire western hemisphere. If I played the notes of "Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away", and claimed to have written them (it's only 12 notes after all), there's no way I wouldn't be prosecuted. It has much less to do with the number of notes and much more to do with how similar the new song is to the old one.

I wanted to find something positive to say. I got about four lines in. You rhymed "loneliness," "emptiness," "darkness," and "hatefulness." I was so embarrassed on your behalf that I had to turn off the video. I'm sorry, but it really is not good.
