Lights - Journey

[Musikman7002]

This song I am trying to work the higher end of my range and the passagio area while staying relaxed.

Man!  Your voice has a very similar timbre to Steve on the higher range, it sounds very smooth and creamy, while having the brightness of the twang.

The only thing I would tell you, is that on the first two phrases "lights" and "go" where a bit flat. This is probably because you did the small scoop up from a slightly "darker" vowel in lights, and you started "go" with the same setup. I think if you twanged the AH/UH of "lights" and "go" a bit more it would be easier, and you would be spot on with the pitch  
On "sun" it happens the same but it is almost imperceptible, but "shines" is very good, as it is a "flatter" AH, a bit brighter.( I like to use imagery like this with my vowels haha  "flat" as in the back of the throat and mouth more flat. Two dimensional... well, sorry for the rambling, haha )

Now, all that is nitpicking really, because I know you'd like to sing this material as perfect as you can. The complete performance was cool, I liked it a lot, man. Keep training and uploading stuff !

Great observations! I will give that a shot in the future. When I tracked it I only had time for 2 takes and that was the better one lol. I really try to work on my pitch because nothing ruins a vocal like wayward pitch haha. There are singers that just are naturally really good at staying on pitch I have to work at it quite a bit and those couple lines slipped through the cracks  I look forward to more of your singing Xamedhi, I have liked what you have put up on hear already.

Your voice really suits this song and vice versa.

Thanks ronws, I have been a Steve Perry fan for a really long time. Even before I thought about singing I enjoyed Journey so I take that as a great compliment.
