Actually, I think, the "fasletto" version sounded more connected. I mean, you could do it either way but I think the falsetto version is going to have young ladies spending their last dollar buying your cd. Your falsetto flip or break is often used these days in pop music and yours is minimal. What a number of singers do to hide their switch is a brief break in the vocal melody so you hear the stanza of lyrics in "chest" and magically, a moment later, the refrain in falsetto, or even a soft volume head voice, which some think is falsetto but is not. Falsetto is a tonal quality or mode most often used in head voice because of the structural mechanics of doing that sound. But falsetto is not a range.

Some here might suggest curbing to do the refrain in fuller voice though I might suggest doing twang, first and see how that works. You might try a simulated yawn when you do the refrain or try to sound like you are crying. This will actually take away the weakness that you feel.

Forgive my ignorance... What is curbing and twang?

Here's an example of something I'm trying to figure out how to sing right now. Don't mind the lyrics I'm literally making them up as I sing, except for the chorus, it's a work in progress, but the melody of the chorus is really difficult. I sing it in several keys, and the commentary in between is kind of hard to hear- I didn't get my levels before I recorded, just a quick and dirty thing (not really warmed up either haha) but yeah basically I'm just saying that on the "You save me" part, I like it in the upper key, but the "woah" gets a bit shaky, and there's the flip sound. I can connect the sound at the top down without a flip no problem, but getting up there that quickly without the catch is tough, and as you hear, it's a bit pingy up there anyway. I feel like I can get a fuller tone though, and also have the benefit of more epic "you save me"s, by staying in the higher key... Anyway lemme know what you think!
