Oh yeah I'm glad you responded my previous post was meant to be to you not Checkmate, for some reason I thought he wrote both comments.

Anyway, sorry, but you are talking the real sh*t right there.

You fail when you said the purpose of a demo is to show the key you're supposed to be in. That's dumb as hell, are you trying to tell me a male base singer who wants to write, produce and create a demo in hopes of having a female soprano singer recording it would not be able to, because he could not record it in the same key as how she would sing it?

This is a demo The-Dream recorded for Mariah Carey:

And this is how Mariah recorded it:

Notice how she switched up the harmonies, sang different notes, changed adlibs, added adlibs, etc. etc.

The demo is supposed to show the vocal arrangement of the song to a certain degree yes, so that you can see how it works with the production and such, but that's not to say you are supposed to stick exactly to every note, adlib, etc. Which was exactly my point in the first place about ARTISTRY. Where is the ARTISTRY in hearing a song, deciding you like it, the record label buying it and you recording it exactly the same? ESPECIALLY when you didn't even write the lyrics for the demo in the first place?
