9 Crimes, Be My Husband, Think of Me
On a whim, I just recorded the following covers about 20 minutes ago.
Be My Husband I heard Lisa's cover of Nina Simone's Be My Husband, and thought it would be fun to do one myself. I'm quite nervous and frankly pretty terrible at the beginning, but I start to relax around the second verse. I really had no idea how to do the percussions, so it's basically me just goin crazy on my school notebook haha http://www.sendspace.com/file/alcf0n 9 Crimes My on my keyboard in my room. Again, very nervous at the beginning. http://www.sendspace.com/file/33xb8r Think Of Me I'm a huge fan of ALW, and I was going to audition with this piece for my school musical but it didn't work out. It's my first time singing it in about a month, so it's a little shaky. http://www.sendspace.com/file/omxala I would really appreciate some honest feedback. Be as harsh and blunt as need be! Thanks so much! |

Hey. I listend to 9 crimes and be my husband
In be my husband i think the tapping/clapping is different to how damien does it on lisa version, but it still fits, so its all good. You have a pretty nice voice, doesnt sound as if your all too familier with singing it, and if your not, then its a good effort, well, who am i to judge, i cant sing for sh*t lol. 9 Crimes, just listend to this second. The piano/keyboard is pretty much spot on, the track is pretty quite though. I think you have a really nice voice, but it seems like you stain for air on holding and stretching for some notes? Have you ever had singing lessons? I think with some you could turn your nice voice into a beautiful one. Ive just recorded a new song, let me know what you think of it Weaker alone |

Youre completely right on the straining for air part. When I know I'm being recorded I get really nervous and sometimes forget to breather before starting, and then I lack support and I strain and it's no good. Luckily I am able to loosen up as I get into a song, but I as I start I'm just horribly nervous!
That was the second time I'd ever sung the song, so I'm not familiar at all, I just gave it a go haha Weaker Alone- I think the playing was good, and your voice was too, its just the song seemed very monotone. Kinda the same thing throughout, but still good! |

well, i downloaded 9 crimes, i think its pretty good, listened to it twice there.. have you thought of going on american idol? :-)
the other files are too large for me to download as my computer isnt the fastest, but i think you should make a music myspace too. or maybe use another recording program that can convert the files into mp3 and a bit smaller.. but yeah, you seem to be your own worst critic, i could only say good things about it.. unless the other two i havent heard are rubbish, but i doubt it!

Don't go on American Idol, seriously.
Edit: Just realised how mean that sounded! I meant, don't go on it because it's an awful program; it's not supporting music, it's money grabbing and i hate it.

Hey, I cannot access Myspace from work (where I am at the moment), and your other files are too large and probably incompatible with my software here, so I'm going to take a listen tonight, but I just wanted to say your hair looks pretty in your avatar
^^Ok, I listened!! Your voice is very pretty and has a lot of potential. It'd be nice to hear accompaniment of some sort, but it's neat like this too because you do sound a LOT like Lisa!! Very, very nice. I'll definitely check back for more and let us know if you put up anything with music to go along Last edited by Noellenc; 01-30-2007 at 12:54 AM. |
