My sister was singing in the video but she asked me to cut her part out as she doesn't think she's good enough :(

Thank you!!

Not bad for an amateur attempt! My only criticism is that you're shaky in some places so you might wanna work on that, apart from that you're really good :)

[Kellie]

I think you're pretty good :)

[Judas]

Gotta say I wasn't expecting you to sound like that haha, pleasant surprise though, you have a very nice voice. I only heard like, one flat note so you did a really good job :)

[Catzsy]

Lovely tone in your voice, I really like it! Very good attempt. My only advice is to watch your breathing as it does sound a bit 'breathy' on occasions. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos. :D

[Eric]

It's really good :) Just need more practice and hit the notes correctly. Then it would be perfect :)

[Jurv]

You've certainly got an excellent voice and you covered the song really well, well done. :)

[Meloneeze.]

That is incredibly fantastic for a guy singing:$ Anyway I liked it for the most part, but at certain points you went a little too fast than she sings it, but I'm going to reference that to 1) nervousness and 2) trying to keep up with the song. But you did extreamly awesome for a male vocalist singing a female part. Well done :D! I've tried to sing that so many times...my voice just won't contort...*grabs throat* No I'm just kidding you...:rofl:

[Succubus]

Oh my god, your amazing!
Liked :D

[pjharb]

Wowww thanks guys! Didn't expect people to say such nice things lol! Need more and more opinions :P does anyone know how to squeeze in more views on YouTube?

I think you're quite a good singer, I wasn't expecting you to sing in a high octave but it was a pleasant surprise. The only advice I can give really is breathing control. When you're breathing you seem to be just trying to get short breaths and making them last a long time. Unfortunately - this won't work. When you're singing always take BIG breaths whenever it feels natural.

Something to thing about in the future though is when you're singing, try making your mouth bigger when singing (if this doesn't make sense, I mean imagine you're singing to a totally deaf person and you want them to actually know the words your singing, so you over do your words in a sense - so if you're singing a something like "Maria" from West Side Story - in the "Maaaaa" bit, you would make your mouth opened wide.)

Apologies if this made no sense, but it's the best advice I can give and I'm no vocal coach :/

+rep :)

Wow thanks for the advice and for your opinion :) Yeah I'm glad I'm an Alto/Tenor as I love to sing this in the same octave that Adele does but with a typical guy's voice type (baritone, bass, etc.) I wouldn't be able to :P

Thanks Georgia! :)

Can I have some more opinions please peeps? :D

Yeah, re upload it with your sisters part. 2 is always better than one. Also rehearse it a little more to get rid of the flat notes and think about your breathing.

[pjharb]

Done that, hopefully it helps! Thanks Ice :) Anyone else mind giving me their opinions?

[Seikou]

you and your sister are both brilliant! well done, a great cover of the song :) you could go far!

[jasey]

Wow! I'm shocked. I usually expect the worst when people post their singing videos but you are really, really talented! Brilliant.

[MizzBex]

I think you're really good! Not sure about a little bit of the second verse but, overall you're a great singer :) +rep

[pjharb]

Wow thanks guys!!

[GirlNextDoor15]

Wow thanks guys!!

Both of your voice sound very nice but I still think your sister is more suitable to cover this song. The part when she lowers an octave is typically annoying to me as I like to hear her sing the actual high notes so that I can predict how many octaves she has(lol) but nvm. And I think you do notice that your pitch is wrong when you sang 'old friend...' . Other than that, I have to honestly tell you that your whole melismatic singing style doesn't really work in this song. :) If you really want to use that style, I suggest you to cover Mariah Carey's songs, Minnie Riperton's Lovin' You or Destiny Child's Emotion because it'll be more suitable. And tempo. This song is already perfect imo and there's no need in changing the singing tempo. Nonetheless, well done and keep up the good work :)
