hey man, great work! Work on your falsetto and centering the pitch abit, it'll make the harmonies sound better/tighter. Just tryin to be constructive, keep up the good work.
I like the song in the begining. I dont like this sound for you. It doesnt sounds bad but I just dont like it. You are better with faster higher songs.(: but you are really good. Just sayin.!
My constructive criticism is play with a click track to ensure all the parts line up. You were off quite a bit. Also, voice lessons never hurt :) Keep up the good work and don't give up! this is a great start! :)
Its a good attempt and to all the people being asshats hes young and is still learning support him and push him to be better rather being a douchebag. Keep on playing man and never forget the happiness it brings you.
You seem to be getting a lot of negative feedback. But this is a cover of the song, your own interpretation. If you don't like it, go listen to the original? I like it.
@neverhyperiswear i own the original song, which is actually good and not out of tune like this shit....do you even know anything about music? anyone who knows anything about music knows that the notes are wrong... only musically clueless eighth graders who like justin bieber would think this is good.
Josh, Beautiful version. You have a great voice. Don't listen to haters who do nothing but stare at their computer screens and spread their hatred while people like you actully "DO SOMETHING". Thanks for posting and good luck. You made me like this song even more:)
Oh dear Lord... there is way too much drag in this rendition and a ton of wrong notes(vocally and instrument wise). When you got to the end I clenched my throat because it felt painful to listen to you strain. :\ Nice try but it needs a lot of work. I'm not going to be like the retards below commenting saying "You did an awesome job" because I'm not going to bs you. I will congratulate you for attempting it, but yeah you have major pitch issues and I hope you become better in the future.
Honestly I thought the cover was pretty horrendous, but that's one man's opinion. If you enjoy singing, keep it up - some will listen, some wont. I won't.
Side note - I get that people feel obliged to jump to this guys defence, but you're not doing him an favours by pretending this cover is even remotely close to the original. If he were putting his own spin on it, you could argue that it's at least 'different', but it's not. A real cover is the one by mreebee3.
all because u dont like does not mean he doesnt have talent. i mean he sings the way he sings u cant stop it. why try. now personally i thought he did good. have u heard the real one........yea...... get off of him let him sing...
@joshfordmusic dont listen to these people man. sing your heart out please. i will sub and like and all because i liked it. keep it up never stop plz.
(wife on husbands account) hiii speaking from experience as a singer, you really need to develop your voice. take in more air flexing your diaphragm and youll be able to hit those high notes in time.
You've got a voice, certainly, but you gotta develop it! I do have a few suggestions for this song:
Avoid changing a song from A Capella, so as to keep the cover a true cover, or call it like it is, you added two harmonies to a melody of a song + an instrument. I do like this though, to get off of the not-so-bad, keep singing, and keep improving, remember that there are always better than you, and you want to at least match them.
@Konnorshi I don't disagree with your comment, but isn't the point of a cover so you can put your own spin on it? I don't think his changing it from a cappella makes it not a "true" cover. Plenty of covers depart from the original.
Totally owned that therawrcompany guy. Great voice man. There are a lot of kids on YouTube who don't really know how to go about doing a cover well, and you're not one of them. Way to go, and keep it up!
@TheRawrCompany Your rudeness to this boy really shouldn't have bothered me, but it did. People put a lot of time and effort into their videos and you shouldn't just mindlessly put them down. The things you said did not have any value and you saying them did not benefit anybody. If you were knowledgeable on the subject and could give positive constructive criticism, I wouldn't have said anything. I was simply congratulating him on not joining in your game of put-downs.
People may hate the way you sing, the way you play every single instrument. Heck, i may even hate everything about you. Who cares. You have more views than the people posting hate comments have. They probably dont even have videos cause they're pussies and cant play anything or sing for that matter. So they can all stfu. Good job. I wish i could even remotely sound as good as you can sing, but im tone deaf when it comes to singing. Keep up the good work :p
i dont complain but im a tenor, your high range is airy and wimpy, it makes it less enjoyable. i dont have a robust range but what i sing thats high you gotta get out there brah. ya sounds falsetto? not good at all. did not like what you did with your own interpretation at all either. but to each there own
omg give him a break, at least he can sing. Work on your high notes a little bit until it sounds a bit more steady. Other than that, this seems good to me! Wonder why it has so many dislikes :(
It would be wise to invest in some singing lessons so you can learn to support your voice properly. Learning how to breath will dramatically improve the way you sing. Just some advice from a friendly musician :)
I think that the song is good and he looks nice but sorry I just don't think you got the tune right for this song. You maybe can sing you just need to be a bit more secure with the song. Your a good guitarist though! The harmonies was okay, moderate.
I don't mean to be that "nice guy" on YouTube, but the fact that he barely used any vocal effects and people say "ewhh you're so bad" is depressing. Are you THAT used to shitty, auto-tuned mainstream rappers you call "music"? Wake up and realize talent.
@SidelineHeroesMusic Don't mean to spoil the nice sentiments of your comment, but his vocals are pitch corrected. Aka autotuned. It's just 'subtle' as opposed to 'absolutely smashed' like pop vocals are.
I was surprised, you are pretty good singer. It looks like you are just afraid to crack on the high notes. If you project your voice, it'll help gain strength in your high notes. And it'll make a much more enjoyable viewing :D Just some constructive criticism from a fellow singer. Help me get some views :D Check my videos out? It means alot.
Little bit of constructive criticism for ya! Sing out man! You sound like 13085134 times better when you project your voice. Don't be afraid to belt it out every now and then. And I'd also recommend using a click track/metronome when recording. Sometimes the tempos get a little funky. Other than that it was a really enjoyable arrangement.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@joshfordmusic oh my god quit being a prick. you dont have that much talent is all im saying, i couldnt do better but youll never make it. if youre so good give me a shout when your career takes off and i will personally come and kiss your ass. until then you can kiss mine (:
@TheRawrCompany Haha how am I being a prick? I haven't said anything mean at all :P And no where did I say I was gonna "make it" or that I am gonna be famous one day, I enjoy singing and playing guitar, I don't see a problem with doing it online. I'm not forcing you or anybody else to watch, you're the one who keeps coming back :) I just enjoy doing it and I'll keep doing it. I'm sorry you get so worked up over a youtube vid :P Cheers :)
@joshfordmusic Hey , Let me say this, don't let these kids get to you, if you enjoy doing singing, let it all out. These kids wish they had something they could say they love doing but i could bet they do absolutely nothing. So man, keep it up. with a bit of lessons your vocal structure could help you improve 10000% so to those haters who think its cool messing with people doing what they love. Get a life.
@TheRawrCompany he cant NOT sing either. i think he's fine :) he likes the song and has the right to cover it dude. dont be an ass hole about it. if you dont like it watch another video.
@Mooalah *you're. alright, i apreciate the fact that youve got an opinion, but i dont agree with it. taste is subjective. and i sent him a message apologizing, after i watched his other videos, hes not horrible. he got a lot better, i dont think that this song was a good fit for his voice or level of talent. sorry bro.
