On Monday I really enjoyed guest lecture by Billy Drease Williams. I can see the passion for what he is doing. In my opinion, his songs are meaningful and expresses a lot of different feelings. It is hard to believe that he was rejected many times. As far as I am concerned, it just shows that, as he mentioned, he sounds like himself, not like anybody else. At the same time I understood that it is hard or even impossible to be yourself in music business. Producers are looking for entertainment, not talent. For example, my friend, who has phenomenal voice, was trying to get into American Idol and was rejected, which is unbelievable. I guess, you have to be shocking, have some sad story about you or look hollywoodish to interest people.
