now what if hixxy was setting up a memorial fund in his brothers name and just didn't put that on the sleeve, and all the money earned goes to helping out his brothers family (not sure of his brothers age or if he had his own family tbh) if that were the case, would that change your guy's perspective on the matter?

Not in the slightest bit feasible as AATW wouldn't allow it. So no. Of course, hypothetically, if it were the case then ye my opinion would be different. But seeing as how he put it on the album for his own personal gain i don't respect him any more or less than i already did.

Well he is a bit. Fair enough he wrote a genuinely emotional song about his brother's death. But he could of kept it to himself, personally i would, but he put it onto a CD with the intention of selling it and making money so he is really. No disrespect to him for doing it and i'm not questioning his, or anybody else's, morals who do this atal. Its his track he can do what he wants with it i don't respect him any more or less.
And i very much doubt that those vocals haven't been edited and tuned somehow so he's probably not as great a singer as everyone's saying, but hey who knows.
I would do it.
Think of it this way - the more money an album makes, clearly the more people have bought it, which means more people will listen to it. What IS a better way to make a *REALLY* important song to you, reach as many people as possible?
Plus when did songwriting about something personal to you for profit a bad thing?
Is that not what GOOD songwrites do?
I'm not saying it's a bad thing and that people shouldn't do it. My point was that you said he wasn't money grabbing for doing this, but really he is in a way. I'm just stating my opinion. If he chooses to write a song, poem, musical (whatever) about his brother's death fair enough. But to put it on a CD is, to an extent, quite a money grabbing thing to do. But whatever i'm not saying he should or shouldn't do it. Fair play to the guy.
About the singing - i'm maybe not as clued up as you on the technical terms etc, but does that mean i don't appreciate a good voice when i hear one and realize when someone does genuinely have a bad voice? No. IMO, Freddie Mercury, Tony Hadley, Beyonce, Caleb Followill all have amazing singing voices so i can recognise when a singers voice is half decent. And tbh i just don't think Hixxy's voice is all that.
You are so ignorant. So Eminem is a sell out for singing about his daughters in Mockingbird? So Jadakiss is a sell out because he put the Biggie Smalls tribute on his album? So every person to every sing about something personal is just in it for the money?
No you r-tard. He put it on CHX5 so people could hear it, not to make money. If he releases it, then that would be different.

I never called him a sell out.

Well, I thought this track was stupid. If I was going to right a song about my late brother I would make it emotional and powerful, not, well, dance music. I'm not saying it can't be done, but Hixxy just mad a straight up hardcore track, nothing new, nothing powerful, nothing exciting... just, yeah.
But to follow up on this little debate going on above me, it wasn't for money. He probably doesn't make that much off of it anyway. To agree with TypeR, this was just the best way for people to hear it.

I got my hands on CXH5 so late compared to everyone else on here that I didn't bother reviving the reviews thread, but I must say that I'm very satisfied at how the album turned out. My favourite disc of the compilation would have to be a tie between Hixxy & Breeze, but Style's cd isn't too far behind. I don't think it's as strong as CXH4 either, like Quicksilver already stated, but there really are quite a few outstanding gems on it!
I've been having a strong interest in recent Hixxy's works eversince he started working with his new vocalist, nicknamed LOL, which is featured more than ever on his CXH5 cd, from beggining to end. I've taken a look at the credits for the songs her vocals are featured in, notably "Deep In The Night", "Face In The Crowd", "Now That I Found You", "Love Leaves No Scar", and they all go like this: Hicks / Welton-Jaimes / Jaimes.
Now, I listened very closely to the vocals in "Brother (Guiding Light)" and "There When You Fall", and I couldn't help but feel like something was strangely familiar with those vocals. I then took a look at the credits for them, and guess how they go? Hicks / Welton-Jaimes / Jaimes! I then re-listened to the vocals, and couldn't help but notice the way that the singer breathed and pronounced words was exactly like Hixxy's new vocalist!
My theory regarding this is that the vocals in "Brother (Guiding Light)" and "There When You Fall" are actually a down-pitch of Hixxy's new girl, made to sound more deep, borderline-masculine! It would also explain the very random appearance of her normal, non-modified vocals as a short back-up in "There When You fall", at the end of the first breakdown.
So I think we can forget about having Hixxy start a vocalist career like re-con and styles :P what do you guys think? Does my over-analysing makes sense?

it has nothing to do with positive/negative posts it has something to do with constructive criticism. sayin "it's shit" is not constructive. it's understandable that u dislike something, but try and make it sound like it was made by an adult, which you are, rather than a 13 year old girl who is talking about a boy she hates
