right for the listing?

[tagast]

I've got this track and I'm not sure if it's quite right for the listing...it's on my TAXI account called Little Finger.

Below is the listing. I'm aware the vocals aren't quite there, but before I go and re-record or hire someone better, I'm not sure if this is on target. I feel like it's a little more "Andy Grammar" or "Gavin DeGraw" than Maroon 5 or Neon Trees...although maybe a bit like the old Maroon 5 "This Love"?

Thoughts?

VP of A&R at a Major Label needs POP/ROCK SONGS that would appeal to fans of Maroon 5, Neon Trees, etc. for a popular band transitioning to a more mainstream Pop/Rock sound. The label needs to hear CONTEMPORARY melodies and RELATABLE lyric themes with an IDENTIFIABLE and MEMORABLE sound. Lyrics MUST connect with the listener's emotions. Vocals must provide SOLID hooks and melodies that scream RADIO! MALE vocals are preferred but exceptional songs with FEMALE vocals will be considered. An INVENTIVE and CATCHY, SING-A-LONG chorus is an absolute MUST for this VP. MID-to-UPTEMPO songs will work best for this listing. Be sure your production really sells the song's concept. Vocal and Instrumental demo presentation MUST be top-notch! We recently ran this as listing #S120914PO and the label is still looking for that CHART-BUSTING HIT! So if you submitted to the above-referenced listing, please send in new songs this time around. You must own or control 100% of your composition and master recording. Please submit one to three songs online or per CD, include lyrics. All submissions will be screened by a TAXI screener handpicked by the company on a YES/NO BASIS - NO CRITIQUES FROM TAXI - and must be received no later than Wednesday, December 19, 2012.
