    Looks good.

    The only critique I have is that it's a spellsinger.

    Come U7, spellsinger may very well be the right choice Let's see what happens. All he'll need to do is swap one feat and reroll enhancements to switch PrE's.

    Please split the class forums into REAL subcategories this is a jumbled mess.

    Enhancements are easy to play around with so that's more of a personal thing and trial and error but I think the Skill: Perform line is seen as overkill when your Perform will stop (almost) everything anyway. Put those APs into finishing off your Inspired Attack---that's one of, if not your main, contribution to a party. Plus, it helps you too! You're not going to be rumbletastic as a SS. Max that Attack/Damage line.

    You could also free up AP's by dropping the Elven Dexterity enhancements. I'd maybe move those over to some healing enhancements. Did you have something specific in mind taking these?

    I eventually dropped the third tier of Spell Pen. It was costly at 6 AP and I haven't looked back but I noticed you don't have a Spell Pen feat so maybe you're getting your Spell Pen there. Drop Mental Toughness (or at least be prepared to swap it out and take a Spell Pen feat) to free up those 6 APs. You'll have a lot of spell points as a spellsinger. With an sp GS item you can be around 1400 I bet.

    I took Extra Songs early while leveling and then swapped them back out at cap as you'll have 22 or 23 I think as a Spellsinger.

    I recommend at least 3 tiers into Wand/Scroll mastery (I have all 4). Heal scrolls and wands become much juicier.

    I think most would tell you to ditch FoP for Quicken/Maximize/Empower Healing although it's tempting when you see that boost to will save.

    I've enjoyed my SS for the last year although I think it is challenging/frustrating if you're mainly interested in soloing. You're problem isn't stopping things---it's getting stuff to the ground and keeping it there. You just don't hit very hard, you can't nuke and your CC is pretty much worthless against end bosses.

    Bards are so versatile and there are significant additions coming so stay tuned---there will be a lot of Bard chatter/ideas I think.
