Blood+ Diva's Song (Tenor Version)

[roxanaborja]

I love your version *-*

[primohomme]

@roxanaborja

I'm glad you like it :)

[RoseBleueDuRosierSec]

Your lyrics are beautiful! Bravo!

[URZUAMA]

Damn you´re awesome man, I was singing last year but I´m not amazing like you, congratulations. I´m happy cuz´ I was looking for a Tenor or Baritone version of Diva´s song. Thank you very much!

[primohomme]

@URZUAMA

Thank you :) I'm glad you like it

[URZUAMA]

@primohomme I forgot to ask if I can find your version on mp3. I will love to have it really so much.

[Marocha11]

you are amazing, you made me cry -I've tried to listen to different versions of this song, you are perfect!!!! I admire you deeply!!! God Bless you!!!

[primohomme]

@Marocha11

I am very glad my performance touched you :) I appreciate it, thank you for listening and commenting

[FaustVII674]

Wow. Impressive. Opera is a hard aspect of singing. I have to admire you for this. It was beautifully done

[SuperPianogirl123]

i am a huge fan of this anime, and while the original version is my favorite, your cover is just as beautiful ^^

[primohomme]

@tiengallavant

Thank you, yes, it's a beautiful beautiful piece of music

[saturknight5]

You have a beautiful voice! And such an incredible range-- you are hitting high C without switching to your headvoice, aren't you? Amazing.

Somehow it never occurred to me that someone would do a tenor version of this song... An amazing job!

[primohomme]

@saturknight5

Thank you so much :) actually, it's all mixed voice, but the registers are carefully woven together as to give the impression of a seamless vocal line from lowest to highest :)

[saturknight5]

@primohomme

Thanks for your reply-- I see, your voice IS so seamlessly woven across the registers, that's an awesome feat. I would love to hear you singing Donizetti arias! Thanks again for sharing your incredible talent. 

[primohomme]

@saturknight5

Thank you so much :)

I do love Donizetti, but I think Bellini and Handel are my favorites

I would love to sing the high tenor roles Bellini wrote, the ones that go up to high F which are rarely sung at all

[gothicXemoXvampire]

my friend is absolutely in awe of your voice. she says yours is the most amazing male singing she's EVER heard.

[VelvetYumiCosplay7]

Wooow A Male Version! Bravo! I would love and honor to do a Duet with you

[primohomme]

@VelvetYumiCosplay7

Awww thanks, that's very sweet of you to say

[InuYasha01100]

@ Primohomme This is so beautiful, excellent, congratulations =), I love so much your cover. I hope you can mix your cover with the original song, doing a duet. It would be really great. I´m your fan =).

[primohomme]

@InuYasha01100

Awww thank you, I'm glad you've enjoyed it :)

[Lilc433]

This is beautiful. You are a really good singer. (:

i am extremely envious of you.

[primohomme]

@Lilc433

Thank you so very much :)

[dragongirl007]

Wow! This is absolutely beautiful! You sing so wonderfully...are you sure you aren't the Phantom? :)

Speaking of Phantom....I bet you would sing that song amazingly! :D

[primohomme]

@dragongirl007

haha :P maybe I am :P

I think I'm one of diva's babies, lol

[gothicXemoXvampire]

Ahhh...are you the Phantom? :)

[primohomme]

@gothicXemoXvampire

I'm one of Diva's babies ;) lol

[gothicXemoXvampire]

@primohomme Sir, I have to say that I am in awe of your amazing ability. I wish that I had the opportunity to sing a duet with you because the computer is just not enough. I'm actually about to start music classes in college and am planning on becoming an opera singer. Any advice??? Send your reply as a message, please.

[primohomme]

@gothicXemoXvampire

Thank you for your lovely message :)

My advice is...study a lot, on your own, don't just be satisfied with what your voice teacher or music teacher tells you...research, learn about historical singers, their feats and vocal technique, look for old singing manuals (some of which you can find on a video I uploaded about Joan Sutherland and Manuel Garcia), and work work work on controlling and dominating the voice :)

[gothicXemoXvampire]

@primohomme Your voice gives me chills. Not to sound creepy and obsessive, but I've listened to your rendition of this aria over a dozen times. I've been practicing so hard on this song (admittedly sometimes dueting with yours >_<) that now I can reach the last trill at the end without even needing to warm up. I still warm up though because singing this without it hurts worse that a snowball to the eyes :P Anyway, I have to find an Italian aria for a scholarship audition. Any suggestions?

[primohomme]

@gothicXemoXvampire

Depends, what's your voice type? what kind of music are you attracted to?

[gothicXemoXvampire]

@primohomme I'm a Soprano 1. I sing high notes pretty easily. I'm in love with opera. Something sad and emotional, I think, would make me enjoy this audition so much more...

[primohomme]

@gothicXemoXvampire

I think for auditions you shouldn't try singing something too high, as with nerves the high notes might fail

So concentrate on something that sits more in the middle voice.

if you want something darker and melancholic I suggest "Amato ben" by Vivaldi, here's a link where you can listen to it, and if you like it I can give you the sheet music:

watch?v=V3PHYoRypY0

Also "O del mio dolce ardor":

watch?v=Rr5QW5zf2p4

[gothicXemoXvampire]

@primohomme Wow it's perfect. I just really need to work on my Italian >_>

[gothicXemoXvampire]

@primohomme Make a pronunciation vid for me :P lol kidding

[gothicXemoXvampire]

@primohomme Good day, Agnello. I felt I should let you know I found something for my audition. I'm doing "Caro Mio Bien" by Giordani. It's simple enough that nerves won't break me but complex enough for a high schooler auditioning for college. Thank you for all your advice and pointers. You've been a great help. Perhaps I'll sing as great as you one day. :)

[primohomme]

@gothicXemoXvampire

Wonderful! That's the first aria I ever learned when I started taking voice lessons :)

I wish you much luck, and I recommend you Sumi Jo's recording of it to study

Also Cecilia Bartoli's is quite good.

[gothicXemoXvampire]

@primohomme I can't find the one by Sumi Jo. Could I perhaps get a link from you?

[primohomme]

@gothicXemoXvampire

gimme your email in pvt and I'll send it to you, it's not posted on youtube

[gothicXemoXvampire]

@primohomme Nevermind. I found one on youtube that is really helpful and i found a plain instrumental one. Thank you, though. You've been a tremendous help.

[vfigueroa88]

Bravo :)

[primohomme]

@vfigueroa88

Thank you :)

[SpazCheez]

I'm going to subcribe to that. I will make a cover soon. But first I need to work on a few parts. I might use your Italian, if it is alright with you. But I think I am going to stick with the original. But, that was brilliant. You sounded like the Phantom of the Opera! :D Kepp singing, you're a natural! It would also sound really cool if you included a female singer that could reach those high notes! I was singing along with you, and I thought it sounded amazing to hear both parts!

[primohomme]

@SpazCheez

Thank you :) I actually can hit the F6 in the soprano range, but the idea here was singing it in tenor not as a sopranist

[SpazCheez]

@primohomme Wow. That's pretty high for a guy! You were the only person I could find doing a cover of this song. Do you know anyone who did a soprano version of it? I can't seem to find ANYONE else.

[primohomme]

@SpazCheez

I don't really listen to covers by other people :P but I do remember at least 2 years ago before I posted this there were maybe 2 covers sung by females.

Anyways, I got a clip in my channel where I vocalize 5 octaves, and you can hear me go very very high in there, almost an octave higher than the F6 in the soprano version of the diva song

[SpazCheez]

@primohomme Woah O_O That's REALLY high!! I can barely sing the last note of this song in the soprano version. (But that's probably because I'm not a soprano) I'm an alto. I'll go check out that video because I'm curious now haha. Where can I find those videos of the sopranos?

[primohomme]

@jepege1979

Asi es, como dije, uso la tecnica del bel canto antiguo que es bastante diferente a la usada por los tenores por los ultimos 150 a~os que ponen mas que todo voz de pecho (y que creo que el inconveniente de eso es que reduce muchisimo la agilidad y las dinamicas en la voz).

Tambien en el antiguo bel canto las notas agudas no eran necesariamente cantadas con gran fuerza, eran cantadas de forma ligera pero penetrante, que cortara sobre la orchesta no con volumen sino resonancia.

[primohomme]

@jepege1979

Bueno, no hay falsete ;) hasta las notas mas agudas son en voz de cabeza, mi falsete de hecho es bastante debil y no llega muy agudo (D5 con dificultad).

Hay un A4 en mi acapella de "Born this way" pero si, usualmente no llego notas mas arriba de G4 o A4 en voz de pecho, estoy entrenado en el bel canto (el real que usaban los tenores hace 200 a~os atras) y en el los hombres usan voz mixta/cabeza en las notas por sobre de F4.

[TheMoonPeach]

hey did you use sheet music for this, and if so where can I get it. by the way your voice is just amazing, thank you for blessing the world with it. :)

[primohomme]

@TheMoonPeach

Thank you so much, that's very sweet, I really appreciate it :)

Sadly, I don't have the sheet music, I learned the song by ear note by note later on confirming it on the piano.

[TheMoonPeach]

@primohomme I just am having a hard time with the pronunciations of the words. I can match her pitches fine

[addanimeyaoilover18]

I love this song, it's so beautifully delivered. At the end when you hit those hit note(s) I feel as those your voice pierced through my heart. If I as any more emotional, I would've cried. That's how amazing your voice is. Oh, and happy belated birthday

[primohomme]

@addanimeyaoilover18

Awww thank you so much, that's so sweet of you :)

[sailorhamlett]

this is the most asome song i have ever herd

[AtariMaxiToriyama]

Around 3:46, I felt like you were covering a bit too much. The notes were quick and fairly high. I believe they would have sounded better if you would have added some pharyngeal.

[angelicbaby92]

@primohomme Do not get angry at tygersflowerz for putting down your beautiful singing. He obviously has a singing complex and can never reach the notes you do or have a great vibrato like you. He is just putting you down because he's jealous. :] Besides, the song is supposed to be angry and then sad and a whole bunch of emotions. It's what singing is about.

[primohomme]

@angelicbaby92

You are very sweet, thank you :)

That person just doesn't understand how difficult this song truly is, he thinks because I don't sound like I'm struggling that the song must be a piece of cake, and that because his favorite Christina Aguilera sounds like she is struggling with her songs that those songs must be OMG incredibly difficult.

[angelicbaby92]

@primohomme haha you're welcome

[PonselleLover]

Great job ! This is not a piece of cake to sing, with some of the coloratura running through the passaggio area... I didn't know this piece and like it very much :)

[X0OmarX0]

I FREAKING LOVE HOW THIS SOUND IN A TENOR VOICE!

I have a question, what is your vocal range?

How many years you have been singing?

Aw Beautiful song!

[primohomme]

@X0OmarX0

Hi :) I have been singing decently for some 3 years, and been studying voice for some 5 years :)

My operatic range (the notes I can sing in all vowels in all dynamics at any given time, with full support at both sides) is perhaps F2 - A5, and in pop singing using a microphone counting all the pitches I can produce...my pop practice range is C2 - C6 in chest/mix/head, and then whistle register (like Mariah Carey) up to G7.

So 5.5 octaves :)

[X0OmarX0]

@primohomme Wow! I would like to have that vocal range, I'm a begginer, so i really don't know my vocal range but what i know is that I'm Tenor.

Thanks for answer me! :) What a great voice. :)

[primohomme]

@X0OmarX0

thank you so much :)

When I first started studying when I was 17 I had a range of less than 2 octaves, but with study it kept growing, so just keep studying and protect your voice :)

[X0OmarX0]

@primohomme Thanks for the advice. And I keep studying.

Sorry is you bother, but how old are you?

[primohomme]

@X0OmarX0

I am turning 23 next month

[daniewuvsyou]

Your amazing voice has just stolen my heart, and the song is beautiful in italian thank you for making this video :)

[primohomme]

@daniewuvsyou

Awww how sweet, thank you so much :) I appreciate it

[Jmas086]

Me ha encantado! cuando te escucho me emociono, lo guardare en mis favoritos :)

Enhorabuena y gracias!

[SakumaRyuichiNG]

Great version D:!! very touching o_O (i am really amazed! it was totally unexpected!)

[primohomme]

@SakumaRyuichiNG

Thank you so much, I'm glad you liked it :)

[JsarenBryn]

You. Are. Amazing. <3

[primohomme]

@JsarenBryn

Thank you so much :)

[JsarenBryn]

@primohomme You are most welcome! :) :) :)

[raigekimaru]

baritone, tenor and contralto in the same song! =P

[HerbaMaliciferum]

Now...time for a beautiful interlude.

[bklynsharkexpert]

omg...that was just simply AWESOME! :D

[ArabellaTV]

That was the most talented and creative version of this song I have ever heard! Listening to you sing this gave me shivers.I have recently started learning some opera on my own and I have been practicing really hard to learn the original version of this song and almost have it down packed.Its extremely hard though and has taken me 3 months to get where I am and I still can't hit that last high note. But I'm pretty close.It was wonderful hearing this. I give it a 10,00000000. <3

[primohomme]

@ArabellaTV

Thank you for such kind words! don't worry so much about the final high note, the difficulties of the music are far greater than the last note, the intervals are difficult to sing, the smooth airy legato is difficult to maintain, and the soft high singing is difficult to do convingly and with ease, it's very to rehearse it and rehearse it. I rehearsed it for 6 months before I attempted to sing it :P

[ArabellaTV]

@primohomme

Your welcome and thank you for the advise! Keep singing! I would love to hear more. <3

[primohomme]

@ArabellaTV

Well, I believe it's very necessary to work at it a lot to be good :P it's not enough to have a voice but one must polish up. I got other things uploaded if you wanna listen, all kinds of things, pop, rock, acapella, piano ballads, etc.

[ArabellaTV]

@primohomme I will deffinetly look at some of your other vidoes and subscrib. You have a lot of talent. <3

[sakerlygood]

@ArabellaTV

That's just what I thought *.*

[Xemnaslich]

Well done! This song must have been hard to do

[primohomme]

@Xemnaslich

Thank you, yes, it is very difficult :p

[HM0880]

Love your sustained high notes throughout! The reworked text is great. :) And your rendition certainly had a lot of drama. (I only wish that the accompaniment was a little softer, so we could more easily hear your magnificent voice.) I really enjoyed it; bravo!

P.S. You do need to record an album right away. :)

[Xsejumishil16X]

nice vibrato you have!

[sakuramonica981]

you are a genius!! your voice it's amazig ! i love the italian lyrix! bravisimo to you !

[thepsychomanshow]

wow...that was really beautiful.....i just love singing this song...i have never heard a guy sing it and it was genius

[primohomme]

@thepsychomanshow

Thank you so much :D I'm glad you liked it, I enjoyed singing it.

[LocationConfirm]

This song need a download.

[primohomme]

@LocationConfirm

It will be in my album when it's released ;)

[LocationConfirm]

@primohomme Your releasing and album? Were can i get it?

[LocationConfirm]

@primohomme Your releasing and album? Were can i get it?

[primohomme]

@LocationConfirm

I'm working on that :) I've recorded many songs but few completed or produced to the level of be ready for an album, you can check out a video that shows my 5 octave vocal range that shows bits and pieces of some of the songs I've recorded that showcase the extremes of my range, it's this one

watch?v=_wktuuZHi0w

[yiboo1]

This is purely brilliant - do you mind giving out your non-gibberish lyrics? I'm trying to be a Coloratura Tenor, and I'd love to try and work on this version of the song that you've so beautifully improved. ^_^

[primohomme]

@yiboo1

Awww thank you! well, I'm not a pure coloratura tenor, I have to sort of lighten up my voice in order to sing the fiorature accurately, in this recording I keep it rather light yet not too bright as I would do for a live performance (the bright timbre records rather ugly when micked up close). I'm sort of a dramatic tenor with coloratura :p

Anyways, I will post the lyrics on the description :D

[yiboo1]

@primohomme

Thank you, so much! I really appreciate it.

[yiboo1]

This is purely brilliant - do you mind giving out your non-gibberish lyrics? I'm trying to be a Coloratura Tenor, and I'd love to try and work on this version of the song that you've so beautifully improved. ^_^

[CM26617]

A very interesting version of this iconic song. Obviously not easy to pull off, but you have managed to do so with originality and talent.

BTW, in case others are curious as to the lyrics you implemented, do you think you can put the lyrics you used into the description as well as a translation? It would certainly be of interest to see what this version's lyrics comprised of.

[primohomme]

@CM26617

Thank you! Well, the lyrics are used are original and I guess someone took the translation to them to english and asumed that they were also the meaning of the non-sense gibberish of the original :p do a google search for Diva's song english lyrics and those are MY lyrics. 

[CM26617]

@primohomme

I see. Well done for the conversion as well. Was wondering why the original didn't make much sense! LOL

[primohomme]

@CM26617

Yeah, the original is just gibberish made to sound like latin words, but the lyrics are meaningless. :p Thank you for listening!

[TsukabuNosoratori2]

Still one of my favorite versions of the song! I love your incredible talent!

[primohomme]

@TsukabuNosoratori2

Thank you :) I think I'm the only male version of Diva's song.

[darx117]

amazing great work man.

[primohomme]

@darx117 Thank you!!

[RyomaEchizenGirl]

Your voice is radiant! You gave the song lots of power! GREAT JOB!

[primohomme]

@RyomaEchizenGirl

Thank you so much!

[RyomaEchizenGirl]

@primohomme No thanks needed, just saying the truth, but the thanks is appriciated

[ardavidso]

Very talanted! The first three minutes are excelent. The rest of the song seems to lack the cleanness and precision of the original, but I applaud what you have accomplished, the song only gets more and more technical as it goes. Also, the last bar was perfect.

[primohomme]

@ardavidso

Thanks :) Well, the song was written for a light high soprano, I am a dramatico coloratura tenor, so though I did sing all the coloratura (I don't think there's anything out of tune, is there??) I did have to negotiate some of the passages in the middle section to work it around for my voice.

[KirraLawson]

i swear i just got an orgasm from listening to this :)) good work

[RockerHoneybee]

Iriear is right you are truly talented, I think that some day you might become famous. And i'm usually never wrong. ^_^

[primohomme]

Thank you :) well, I'm working on songs now ;) a mix of electro-pop, metal and operatic :)

[iriear]

You're truly talented.

[primohomme]

thank you :)

[Masamuneblader]

The only problem with doing a tenor version is that it was written with the thought in mind that the higher octave would pierce across everything. Singing it in the tenor register makes it blend with the instruments a bit much, it's very noticeable at the very beginning. The performance itself was beautiful, just my thoughts on the problems with doing it in this range. :) (note the anti-flame smiley )

[primohomme]

No, it's a matter of the mix really. I mixed it to blend with the orchestra (though of course you can still hear the voice quite clearly) but the voice is supposed to sound like an instrument (like at the beginning where it sounds like a low flute, it's purposely sung that way). Kinda like...how they did the voice of Sissel in the soundtrack of Titanic.

[Masamuneblader]

@primohomme Fair enough.

[primohomme]

I see you got a taste for rangey vocals. In a song I'm preparing now for my demo there's an A5 in head voice, a G6 in whistle register...and down to G2 in chest voice. Full 4 octave range, it's a lot of fun.

[Masamuneblader]

@primohomme Nice! It's soooo liberating to sing all of that stuff. I swear one day my neighbors are going to come down and kill me lol. I'll be sure to check it out!

[lunares777]

you altered the lyric?

can I please have the Italian lyric you've made?

anyway, your voice was good--- no, it was terrific, I never knew male could sing this song. :/

[primohomme]

Thank you so much :) I didn't alter the lyrics, I wrote lyrics for it, lol...the original is gibberish vocalizations.

[Boomchakalaka07]

OMG, I loved your original version of this, but this is just as amazing!!! You are very talented!

[primohomme]

Thanks :) I think this version is far superior to my first recording.

[Boomchakalaka07]

Did you remove the other video, because I can't find it on your channel...unless I'm blind...hahaha

[primohomme]

Yes, totally new channel. Plus with this new recording, there's no need for the other one.

[alexnel]

It's energic! & fantastic!

[AilethVaughan]

I really liked the 2nd part of the singing! Gave me goose bumps. As a musician (and constructive criticism) you could make the first part more legatto until about 1:50 or a bit more (think of it as a very long phrase). Then on 2:44 you could make them not so equal, like some kind of whirlwind. 4:00 is simply beautiful and it sounds really good on your voice. Thank you for sharing your lovely voice! Maybe I'll record myself signing this one day, when I have a better microphone.

[primohomme]

Thanks, I tried to sing as legatto as posible, but it's sooooooooooo difficult, the phrases are very very long and high and must be sung soft. So, I did as best as my technique allows me in this moment. Maybe in 10 years I'll be good enough to sing real opera :D

[AilethVaughan]

I'm not into opera myself specially after the end of the baroque (i know almost nothing about it and I know I'm missing out much of it just after the baroque xD) but I've played and heard people managing that "technique" (or tricks) with renaissance pieces and some baroque too. Still I think you did a great job. Keep up the good work!

[gonzoli]

hei where are u from? i liked your style in this song which is a favorite of mine and as i can see youve got a very similar music taste to mine im also towards studying opera i love monica naranjo and i love "desatame" i sing it too (hablo español soy de mexico xD) just that im a baritone and you have an excelent dramatic tenor voice!

[primohomme]

Thank you! I guess could be said I'm a dramatico-coloratura. I'm from Houston, TX :) and yes, I love Monica Naranjo.

[ShadowRaven85]

please don't think this as a insult but it sounds like karel singing this

[dragoneyedswan]

Actually, is there any way I can get an .mp3 of your version of this? It's going to haunt me for a long time.

[dragoneyedswan]

I just finished Blood+ today, and I myself have had a bit of training in classical vocal...

You made me cry. This is beautiful.

[kjtom23]

AMAZING!!! \(*O*)/

although you remind me of the phantom of the opera, you're a great male version of Diva.

can I ask where did you get the lyrics? because it's really difficult to find the exact lyrics in the internet.

[primohomme]

Well these lyrics I wrote them myself, because the original are just gibberish :p Thanks you for listening.

[X0OmarX0]

could you put the lyrics that you sing, plz

[sayaslove1]

LOVE YOUR VOICEEE!!! I wish I can sing again but since they removed my tonsils well ....T.T You have a beautiful voice!! (excuse my bad spelling)

[primohomme]

Aww so sorry to hear!! I've been having the flu and coughing up a lot and it feels horrible not being able to speak or sing.

[origidivaQueenblood]

oh my god!!!! you have a wonderful voice n_n a really tenor n_n so beautiful T_T nyaaa

[cookiechaos]

Wow. This is so beautiful! You have a wonderful voice! ^^

[RockerHoneybee]

you have improved beautifully, i love your voice it's beautiful!!!!!!!!!!

=^_^=

[vampfreakable]

You've definitely improved :)

[ReaLina123456789]

Very beautifull! Nice voice!
