Every day we post three songs. You vote for the best. Each day’s winning song goes on to the following day to face off against two new songs. Songs that do exceptionally well make our wall of fame and may be publicly reviewed in The Huffington Post or elsewhere.
Click the “Submit Your Music” tab to the left to have your song considered for the blog.
Of course, music industry professionals, journalists and other music enthusiasts are welcome to write about, contact or otherwise interact with the artists featured on this site.

“You Make Me Beautiful” is a very strong song! both other songs were very good in their own rights! These guys need to know how good of a song they are going up against! Their stuff was good too!
P.S. as always I wish everyone would include lyrics!
I really enjoyed these songs. “Modern Eve” was very well produced. Normally I don’t judge based on production and try to realize potential based on another artist doing the performance. I can’t imagine another artist doing that song. Well done!
The competition IS really, really good! And incidentally, my lyrics are posted. Chords, too. Really simple ones. Just click the + sign by ‘Lyrics’.
Is it unorthodox for the artist to post a comment?
hi Tom
maybe we’ll both be a little unorthodox, haha
lyrics to the song?
here we are
YOU MAKE ME BEAUTIFUL
I can’t help hearing the lies
I can’t help letting them inside
These words have gotten me low
and got me high
You stand and guard at my door
Allowing me to be more than what they say
Allowing me to be strong and live my way
You make me beautiful
Believing in me
You make me beautiful
And deep within I find the best side of myself
I know no one else
Makes me feel beautiful like you
My dreams are never too wild
My words are never laughed off or brushed aside
You make me feel like a star
that’s not outshined
You make me beautiful
Believing in me
You make me beautiful
And deep within I find the best side of myself
I know no one else
Makes me feel beautiful…
Beautiful
And deep within I find the best side of myself
I know nobody else
Makes me feel beautiful
like you
