I have talked about Slicethepie many times on this blog and some of you are probably doing this to earn extra money from home. For those of you who don’t know what it is, Slicethepie is a company that will pay you to listen to music and write a short review of what you just listened to. They payout twice a week as long as you have earned $10. Some people make an extra $300 a month doing this from home.Not only will help you to get a higher ranking, earn more money, get your payout faster, and keep your account active but it will also be beneficial for the artists. An honest, detailed review will help them to see where they need to make improvements in their lyrics, vocals, or songs in general.
If you like watching such shows as The Voice, American Idol, or The X Factor, you can somewhat mimic their comments and criticism of the singers that perform on the show and basically be your own judge. Picture yourself in the mindset of a judge on one of these shows when you are listening to the songs on Slicethepie. Of course, you will be critiquing the overall song in general but you can get an idea and perspective on how to judge the vocals in the songs on Slicethepie.
Here are some of the elements that make up a song that you will want to consider when you are doing a music review for Slicethepie.
- Intro – The instrumental section at the beginning of the song.
- Vocals – The tones or register in the voice.
- Lyrics – The meaning or words of a song.
- Pitch – Higher and lower tones and sounds in the vocals.
- Tempo – speed or pace of a song.
- Melody – Sequence of tones that make up a phrase in a song.
- Harmony- The use of various pitches, tones, or cords.
- Length – Most commercial songs last around 3-4 minutes long.
- Hook – A short phrase or passage to make the song appealing. A good example of this in a song is the one by Destiny’s Child “Say My Name”. Other examples are Adele’s Rolling in the deep, Carly Ray Jepsen’s “Call Me Maybe,” and John Legend’s “Tonight”. Many great songs have memorable hooks or earworms.
It is important to keep these elements in mind when you are doing a review and mention as many as possible, especially if they stand out to you in each song that you review. I also recommend that you give your feedback or analysis of the song right away.
As soon as you hear the introduction of the song, you can comment on that and go on to the other features of the song itself.
Was there a part of the song that stood out to you?
Was it memorable?
What was your general feeling about the song?
Would it be something that you would actually listen to?
If so, you could include this in the ending or summary of your review. If the song reached a peak or climax at some point that caught your attention, mention this as well. You will definitely want to make good use of adjectives in your review especially when it comes to the vocals, pitch, lyrics, introduction, and the overall song in general.
Here are some examples that you could use in your review.
- Make sure you have a quiet environment when you are writing reviews.
- Start writing your review right away within the first few seconds to keep up your momentum.
- Put it in your own words.
- Describe what the song meant to you or how it made you feel.
- Try to concentrate on the song. This can be accomplished by closing your eyes in the introduction of the song or whatever helps you to do so.
- Take breaks. If you find yourself losing steam, do something else or just stop and come back to it later on in the day.
- Don’t be afraid to give negative criticism. If you didn’t like the song, lyrics, beat, intro, etc. tell me why you didn’t like it and what could be done to improve this.
- Give details. Was the introduction too slow or was this song a great example of raw talent? If so, write it down. This will help you to write a great review!
- Try to write at least 4 or possibly 5 sentences for each review.

Hi Jennifer. Thank you for your comments. These tips have helped me out a lot myself.
My account has been locked by an administrator today. Do you think i can re-enter the website with the same email i used to have in the site? Also thanks for the tips.;)
I have heard this happening to others before and some have said that it was a glitch and their account was enabled in a couple of day unless they were in violation. If that is the case, I am not sure if you can but I will try to find out.
SLICETHEPIE is the best scammer, they locked up my account and did not pay my $40 and mum’s account $9..I will spread this shout all over the world so no one will waste time again reviewing their crap music.
Just recently I heard this happening to some people’s accounts over there. Sorry to hear about that.
Thank you for another great post. Where else may anybody get
that type of info in such a perfect way of writing? I have a presentation next week,
and I’m on the search for such info.
Take a look at my web blog: to learn how to make money online from home
I went from getting 2-5 cents per review to making every review between 10-23 cents. The occasional 50 cents pop up every now and then. This post really helped!!!
SlicethePie, is turning into a scam, it feels like. This company is the most unprofessional to me, at least. I signed up for SlicethePie awhile back, then reviewed a few songs. Signed back in the other day, reviewed a few more, while making sure I was following their rules and terms of service, they still locked and banned my accounted. What the hell! They did not even have the decency to let me know through email why they closed my account, no reasoning was ever explained. Seriously, extremely disrespectful and unprofessional if you ask me. They just tried to get my free reviews probably, because I never once went against their rules. This company should be shut down.
Thank you!!!
