Awesome cover man, good production as well.  This song is a personal favorite of mine.  Some of the phrasing could be refined a bit more but I'm not really in a place to give vocal criticism so I'll just leave it that for now heh.  Keep up the good work bro, looking forward to hearing more.  

  Nice tips, I definitely understand your criticism and will begin to implement it immediately.  Through my three years of being self taught I'd say only in this last year have I really started to understand how to efficiently practice the voice where as to not set bad habits up for myself.  In the past I used to keep belting way above where I should and just assumed that's how to "stretch your range."  Nowadays, I take an honest look at where I first start getting uncomfortable (around C#4) and make sure not to push for notes that I don't truly have.    Your scale advice rings true to me for that reason as it reinforces the idea to keep the intervals where they are comfortable.  Hopefully you are right and as my voice starts to settle more in the range I do have the good habits will build and carry me up past my pesky breaks.  Thanks again for your criticism and tips.  It's nice to get genuinely good advice rather than just compliments.  

  Yeah, definitely!  Thanks for the tips, I will work to even out the voice in my chest range more.

  Great review man, was not expecting anyone to anyone actually write out one.  I really appreciate you taking the time to listen to all these covers, it's cool to know there are people like that around here.  As far as your criticism, part of my mic troubles is that it's always recording my voice in the left channel for some reason even when I mix it center.  Also, I'm definitely a chest puller lol, at least when I get past C4.  I'm trying to learn how to get in more of a easy mix sound but so far so slow.  Thanks again bro.

My microphone is having some troubles today but I decided to this doors cover anyway.  Might do some tweaks later but here it is: http://picosong.com/LuR5/

  There are quite a few bits where she is going off the melody but most of the verses are fairly solid pitch wise.  Not perfect, but easily forgivable due to the strong tone and charisma of the performance.  

    That is no small feat!     To the OP, what you need to be doing is taking your voice to a perfectly tuned instrument (preferably piano) and work out matching pitch on a single note.  Record yourself and really listen to the intonation differences.  Once you can get one note down start working on changing pitch on the smallest intervals you can.  Don't get cocky and try to sing songs if you can't even hold the pitch from a B to a C.  Learning good pitch is just a matter of internalizing the sound.  Eventually you will not only be able to hear the note before singing it but (if you train this way) your muscle memory will remember exactly how to make these changes in a way that will be effortless to you.  Cheers mate.
