hxl in need of improvements?

[Grig]

I have been a critic in the past over some things, but I think HabboxLive is improving. Both Jess and Gemma are lovely people who work really hard to make the radio the best it possibly can be. There are always new initiatives being tried out etc. Younger DJs also should be given a chance, otherwise no one gets one. I'm 18, and I'm still going good, proves to you that we have a variety of age groups. Sure my shows may be a little different from others, but all shows still go to the good. I asked people to listen to HabboxLive, people who haven't heard of it as much such as those who came from other countries/ fansites and they said "Wow, Grig they're so pro". Maybe we can compare things to HabboxLive in 2007, 2008 or 2009. But things change, the listeners have been going back up and yeh .

The age of the DJs does not really substantiate any kind of issue in my eyes. This thread doesn't really explain your criticism, as age doesn't really come into it and if it does you haven't really justified how.

Those younger DJ's have a lower maturity level, they therefore, dont know what it sounds to us as listeners when they constantly sing throughout songs. Obviously their voices are also much less deep than those older DJ's and it makes the radio sound very young and unprofessional. Users should feel like they are listening to a mature, professional-like radio imo.

I honestly don't see a problem with the younger djs :S if they are young surely as they go along they'll become more expierenced and become better djs, if they know how to dj and the listeners enjoy the shows provided i really don't see a problem and at the other people who think the songs are "immature or childish" request a song you'd like for them to play..

i reckon if jess nd keri leave hxl is ******

This is what worries me. Jess has been with HxL for ages and has managed it very well. I also feel that once she's gone, there is so much pressure and weight on someone's shoulders. If a 12 year old were to be put in charge of HxL, surely it is more about their skills in leadership rather than being "good at DJing?"

Skills in leadership (especially managing 50 screaming DJs) can only come through time and I simply don't think a 12-year old will be able to deal with it. Then you'll get to a point where the managers are resigning after a few weeks because they can't do the job, but they were too happy to say no at the time.

Yes, I agree you need younger DJs to add fun, attract different audiences, be good at DJing and all that jazz - but would they survive so well when put in charge of 50 teens? I think not.

I don't think that the age of a DJ matters, there may be a few younger ones but there aren't that many and they were hired because their apps were just as good as anyone elses. I think the presumption that all young DJs are immature and crap is wrong, there have been plenty of people who have been at HabboxLive and started young and turned out to be some of the best DJs. I think it's ClubHabbo that have made a rule where you have to over 13 to even be a DJ and I think that is stupid because people gain experience, become more professional and see how to act on air from others. Sometimes we get apps and I listen to them, think they're good and then see the age and I'm shocked because there is no way I would put them at that age.

About when a manager takes over well it would be Gemma obviously and she is fully capable of running the radio and whoever would be the new assistant would be picked for the same reason. The chances are it would be someone older because they are more likely to show the skills needed but as far as actual DJing goes I don't think age comes into it.

To be honest i think you are completely wrong. DJ's have a hard time as any song they put on people will leave the site. The age of DJ's is good as it reaches to different ages in the community. since i started here i have given away over 1T worth of my OWN furni in about a month. If you really think that you could do a better job buy a mic get sam and try it yourself. When you realise how hard it is youll be thankful there are people who will stand up for all the abuse you give.

Just skimmed over this thread and people seem to be repeating themselves, which is just pointless.
I used to listen to HxL about 1-2 months ago. I remember listening to Grig several times and I have to admit, he is the best DJ I have heard. He doesn't bloody sing over songs or sing himself. He doesn't start talking randomly when a song is playing. He talks when the song has ended and when he does talk, it's interesting. I still remember the story he said about the iPad and the two engineers was good. He doesn't talk **. Maybe if more DJs were like him or listen to him for ideas, HxL could be better.
Oh wait, just checked his user title, he isn't DJ anymore

And if everyone must know i was the one who got rocker into DJing so there must be some sort of quality there
But i see what people are saying. I agree you shouldnt sing over the songs. But also the line between a good story and boring people is a very tight line

There are some DJs who just laugh so much you cant hear their joke or the "funny story" as they just don't stop laughing.
