    ​Yeah, but I think you'll be able to do it well at some point. People don't always emulate somebody and have it sound close to that person almost immediately. It's not  always easy to do an impersonation. As a matter of fact, it's relatively difficult unless the object of imitation is your favorite singer and you're always imitating them anyways. Besides, you don't have to sound exactly like the guy to sing that song well. I can just hear certain things in your general tone, where if you actually try to sing like him, you'll get close or spot-on.

    It's cool. You always sing with a lot of emotion and I like your broad tastes.
     
    As for having no backing track, something I've found is really nice, is to get a reference note. You can record the tonic of the song, and sustain this note. If you have a keyboard, or any other instrument you can use that, and record it sustained for a long time. If you have no instrument, you can sing a steady note and hold it out and then loop it.
     
    This is what I've been doing when I don't have a backing track as it fixes intonation drift (which 90 percent of singers without absolute pitch will do acapella). It's not just for our listening pleasure, but I think it will help your intonation to have a reference to keep track of.

    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.

    Another interesting one. Lower stuff was pretty solid. Falsetto is really tricky unless you use it all the time. I don't know if I'm the only one, but I'm getting a Michael Bolton vibe from you.
     
    It'd be cool to hear you sing this:

    ​   True story...Back when I was in a band(early80's) This guy was giving me a hard time(arguing over nothing) being obnoxious flailing his arms around and stuff. He knocked the Mnt Dew out of my hand. The look I gave must have really scared him because he immediately apologized and bought me another dew and was quiet for the rest of the evening. I am 5'7 under 130lb people usually laugh when I give them the "Mean" look.

    I had a '68 Mustang with a small block 289 cid and a regular Holley 2 bbl carb and C6 auto-tranny with the slapstick on the hump. I beat out bigger cars because I had gonads made of high tensil steel and driving skills. The only car that beat me on the straightway (westbound 635 going through Garland and into Dallas) was one of my college friends. She had a '69 Mustang El Grande with a 302 cid Cobrajet. Left me eating dust.
    Another time, when I had a '96 Chevy 1/2 ton with a V6 Vortec, I beat a guy who had a Z71 with a stroked 383, for the same reason. Driving skills and commitment to win.
    Ah, my younger days, when I was going to live forever ....

    Hi everybody,
    I'm new to this place and I guess I shoud write a few words to introduce myself.
    I'm an Italian fella with a real passion for Jazz and Swing, hats and shoes and all that stuffs around 40s, 50s, 60s, included american bikes and cars. :-)
    This is my first attempt to get reviewed here, so please be gentle and excuse my english for not being so perfect.

    One of my bosses has an "eleanor."  1967 Mustang Fastback that he restored to almost original parts from a rusted out mess. And he has won a few shows with his. I wouldn't mind having an "Eleanor." I used to have her plain sister, the California edition of 68 Mustang made with 67 parts, 289 small block V8, Holley 2 barrel carb, c6 auto-tramission with the "slapstick" on the floor. It had belong to our grandparents and I had to spend a grand at the garage to get it road-worthy again. Thanks to my lead foot, I have beat a Cutlass 442, a BMW on the streets. The only car that beat me was a friend with a '69 El Grande that had a 302 Cobrajet.
