One of the first        one's I watched was "Almost Famous - Why Record Labels Suck-        6oWsgTAXc8U.mp4". It was an example how a big label can ruin        everything.              If you like Taylor S, you may like the lead singer in "I Nine -        Seven Days Of Lonely" There is a similarity.              Another vid entitled "How KATY PERRY 'Was Inspired By' I Mean        COPIED This Song" intrigued me. He's quite a versatile fellow,        operating mixing boards, plays guitar, piano, etc.. I'm going        to check that channel for sure.                     > I'd actually be very interested in a Boxset of the re-       > recordings once they are complete.
