Sounds like a decent approach. Some well-placed emphasis goes a long way. And if that's not a natural accent, you definitely had me fooled.
 
 
 
All good to me, MDEW. You've got a distinct voice, and I do agree that it's pleasant to listen to. And if you really could use an opinion on what to do next, I'd actually like to see what you would do with When Doves Cry.

Loved it, Killer. Can always hear the passion with you, and you always implement a subtle accompaniment. Exactly the way I would do it, if I could play
 
 
Always so hard on yourself, lol. Another one I haven't heard. It wouldn't be a challenge if you chose an easy song to sing. Feel free to polish it in here.

Here is one for Glenn. I decided to just go ahead and post it as is. The more I messed with it the worse it got.
Comments welcome anyway.............
 
 

R.I.P David Bowie, once for actually passing and another for me slaughtering his music.  Nevertheless, here is my nearly late cover of "Starman" In tribute to the Starman himself who most certainly is back home planning his next visit to Earth right now.

I liked that, Felipe. I recorded that one the day after he passed. Might do a bit of a remaster at some point for more fidelity. 
I liked Ronws singing Space Oddity too. Actually I've liked everything everyone has done so far. This thread has some of the highest batting average of our challenges.

Will do, Coach. I've already done several of the workouts, but I want to put stuff in here regularly to keep me accountable. And I'll be able to see how I gradually improve.

This is a "Review My Singing" request.
David, we are moving this to the "Review My Singing" forum where links and files are reviewed by the membership, myself and other professionals in the community. It is a paid service. Here are the plans.

Be sure to make an added effort to bring it to my attention when you are ready. 
Coach
 

Alright, so 5 months later, here we go! Going to upload some stuff within the next few days.

I'm about to start doing something like bi-weekly check-ins. It will be a nice way of monitoring my progress, and keeping me accountable with practice.

Got it, coach!

Sounds good, Rob. Smooth sailing right now.

I have sonarx2 studio. I still have no idea how to use it.... but one day....one day may I unlock the knowledge 

I'm now remembering that, some months ago, we were working on voting for a song for one of our new genre challenges. One song seemed to get a lot of suggestions, but because of the selection process, it did not get chosen. 
Things must be kept uniform and fair, but the most important thing that goes on here is that we choose the challenge songs that everybody wants to sing. 
 
With that being said, who would still be up for an I Can't Make You Love me Challenge?

Couldn't have suggested it if I didn't ask

MDEW,
I like your voice! Your sound colors on this track fit the genre really well!  Cool of you to share your talent with us! Good song selection for your voice also. I could see you singing (as far as "covers" go) a few artists really well with this style of singing. i.e. John Prine, Dylan (as Mr. Lunte suggested), Arlo Guthrie, Jackson Browne, maybe Neil Young for some M2 challenges.
I would say, maybe if your appaggio was a bit more strong we could hear you sustain some more notes and let that cool, sweet vocal texture you have (rasp included) resonate a little longer! At the end of the song (about min. 3:00) you begin to retard and your singing sounds considerably more supported there! Well Done!

He breaks left, he breaks right, he scores!! Another slam dunk. Never even heard this song before, but now I have one more Bowie song I like.
Bzean gets most of the credit for suggesting something along the lines of this. We just voted

RIP David Bowie:
 
Great idea gsoul, keep em comming folks!

This is just a quick recording, Using what I call "Fake" voice. I am playing with a little rasp. While growing up and singing with relatives they would condemn me for NOT using "MY NATURAL" voice. So I got stuck thinking to "Fake it" was a wrong thing to do. I think that some of this is on the right path to "Singing" rather than what I was doing before and thinking that I was "Singing" using my "Natural" voice.
   So if you would .......... Point out what is "Right" rather than just saying it sucks and I need more lessons.           Thanks.
 

Joe,
Its cool. Pretty choice for a song. I like the color of your voice.. has a pinch of Dylan in it... 
- Pitch is good.
- Interpretation is tasty and artful.
- You would benefit from opening up your resonance / formant with more "ou" resonance Joe... refer to the Curbing vowels... mid narrowed Blue vowel.  It would add a bit of warmth to this.
- The very last "stay...." , wavered on pitch... but what ever.
Tastey.. nice work Joe. 

Nice one, MDEW. I almost forgot how you sound. You get this folklike quality pretty easily.
 
Enjoyed that one, Ron. First time I ever heard that entire song.
 
I think you pretty much decided it for me, Killer. Time for me to pick back up that guitar. Not bad at all. I know how limited time can be so feel free to take your time with it. And that actually brings me to the next thing.
 
How about we let this one go to the end of 2016? It would give everybody the opportunity to do multiple tributes and take their time. Of course, we'll still be doing new challenges while this goes on. We'll get some variety in this sub-forum.
 
And hopefully we don't lose anybody else this year.

Did a first short take of the song by doing the first verse and chorus. I'll be doing this challenge gradually by working on things and posting them over time =)
