Sheesh wimmin, nae wonder the poor lad was confused :rolleyes: :D

Ok, just listened to your track, sorry, i'm not fond of listening to covers, you've said it yourself, leave that to the X-factor-ites and Karaoke etc.
However, you've a great voice there, covering most of the range of highs and lows equally well, i prefer the more raucus female singers and you seem to explode into that area quite well.
I'm not keen on Rap either, so, when your song goes there i tend to switch off and it gets a bit complicated, but, you gotta understand, that's my personal opinion cause i don't like that particular kind of music, others, who prefer that style will probably compliment you on it and quite rightly so.

So, all in all excellent track, not sure if you're being trained professionaly etc (nothing vocally to suggest you are not, i might add) but, may be worth investigating

Not to be too pedantic, but Valerie is a Zutons track originally ;)

[euan]

Having just listened to a few though, you've some voice!

I can see why you might have listed Valerie as Amy Winehouse though, having read the site you've said it's in the same style, and I think you've done it a huge amount of justice!

Well done you!

I was just fed up doing covers but thought it better to have samples of something rather than nothing. Though it was about time I tried something new! Something I want to focus on!

Bonnie Scotland, exactly the kind of criticism i like. honesty. As I am not too experienced in writing songs I went for the style the guy helping me knew and it gave me some experience. Also 'something' to put across to others, 'been there done that'. Thing is I am still trying to find what genre, style exactly I should be focusing on. The best bit of advice given so far was do everything, sign nothing. Somewhere along the line I should fall into place. but thanks guys, its nice to know what general public would be thinking.

Euan, I meant in the style of, lol. My talent is singing not English as you will all have guessed by now surely! lol
