Bono

Hey Bono, as always you sound very good and I think I can hear your higher range is getting better!
What I really don't like is how you modify the vowels on "love" and "sung". I know a lot of SLS teachers teach that but I think it sounds weird... Go more towards an "uh" vowel not a round "o". Listen to your favorite singers: are they modifying to a round/closed "o" vowel? I think not.

Bono, very strong performance. Beautiful. I liked it.

You don't need to do that. Just imitate your favourite singers
 
Your SLS teacher doesn't teach you that? I do it intuitively so I don't understand all the science behind it but basically the vowel is your resonance and you need to tune it to the pitch and the intensity you are singing. For instance a closed "oo" vowel and an "ee" vowel need to be opened a little for the mid/higher range unless you wanna sing softly. If you don't do that you will end up squeezing. "ah" needs to be closed down a little more like an "uh" if you want to stay in a "mix type sound" as opposed to a belt... Listen to your favorite singers you'll hear them doing it!
 
 

Not familiar with the song, but man that is ridiculously good singing.. 

​Great Job Gsoul!! I was kind of kidding; and yes, I do like Nat King Cole

Beautiful

​Bono, we didn't vote. We've got a schedule to keep to on these challenges. Time was running out, and something needed to be done to keep uniformity and to keep everybody involved. On the 3rd, because of time, I said that, for 3 days, people would suggest songs. After that, 5 songs would be randomly selected from each genre of suggestions and we would vote for 3 days to choose what we were going to sing. Those first 3 days came and went and MDEW was the only one to pop up by the 3rd day. People had suggestions beforehand, but we still had absolutely no suggestions for Jazz. I had to change things again in order for the contest to start on time. Then 6 new people came in on the last day, plus other people suggesting things. There was no time to vote. I said what I was going to do, and nobody suggested something else.
The random selection tool was only used because of time. This month, we'll aim to have everything be done by voting.
 
In the meantime, I'd really like to hear you sing some Nat King Cole. Don't tell me you don't like him if you like Eric Benet
 

May I humbly recommend the moderators of Vocalist world forum to create a new section called "This is awesome, just come and applaud" and move songs like this to this section!! 

Feeling good! And I cant make you love me! :)

I would just go with "i cant make you love me" and "feeling gewd"

Hey Elvis.
I will mirror some other comments here - this version sounds "unsure" like you're not quite sure how to sing the song. Remember - it takes about 10 times singing a song before you feel completely at ease. I can hear your uneasiness; especially on the notes when you go flat.

Fear = hesitation = failure.
Recording can be an intimidating, cold and uninspiring chore. Like anything else in life, the more you do it the more comfortable it becomes. The more you figure out how to do it.

You're tone is good, you just sound like you lack confidence. Practice the song until you're sick of it. Leave it alone for a couple of days, then go back and sing it again. You'll be surprised how much more confident you'll be.

Yes Sir, not only hear but enjoy a lot. Great song..  good job!

I'm really digging this. Your voice sounds great. Retains your personality but has a warmth. It has strength and affection. You made it your own and I honestly don't have critique. I could point out things that are different from the original, but to me that's good.
 
I will say if you lean from this position into a belt on your heavier songs, I think that might help you retain some warmth in the timbre and prevent some of the nasality from overwhelming the tone the next time you try one of the beltier songs.
 
This is just good progress and a great song to choose at this point.

Hey Pekka This version is much better than the last. However, in the chorus you change the key of the song a whole step down. I got a backing track of this song for you, it is a whole step down as you sang it on this post. I hope it is useful

I like it a lot!!! I think you are pretty polish, man. Sounds really good and profesional 

Hi Denis! Insane but cool at the same time, the best way I can describe it. I really enjoyed listening and watching the video ;)

One of my favourite songs; it was really nice listening it in your voice  

From this afternoons acoustic practice. Planning to sing this on a gig next month. 
Distortion is working better and better, with less effort needed.

Let me ramble a bit to help understand how Bolton got to where he was. I have read his memoirs and I suggest everyone should, whether you are fan of his music, or not. 
Anyway, he started out as a rock singer and he plays a number of instruments. 8 albums that went nowhere and 8 tours that were abysmal and ended in the red.
He was planning his 9th album and the producer he always worked with made a simple suggestion. He had done a demo of "Dock of the Bay" by Otis Redding, pretty much how he would sing it as a "ballad" on his club dates. And the producer mangaged to convince him to put out a "soul" album. And, after 20 years of being a non-successful rock singer, he became an "over night" sensation as a soul singer and that album blew up on the charts.
So, don't be afraid to go where your voice takes you, even if it is not what you were expecting, at first.
 

Bellissimo!!!

Just a simple outburst.....wanted to sing it no matter the mic or the mixing! Made inMacBook Pro lol xx

Hello Fellows! 
Following the advice of some of you, I´m studying a song phrase by phrase
Please let me know what do you think
Thanks in advance
 

Beautiful song  I think it would be very nice if you sing it along a backing track.Try to add some more depth and support to your falsetto.
