Rose of May ~ Final Fantasy IX Piano + Vocal cover (Katethegreat19's version)

[scrappy98198]

not bad singing, but the pronunciation could use lots of work. i give it a 3 of 5

[UmbraPrelaitor]

Where do u find this with out vocals

[HollowRiku]

@UmbraPrelaitor I didn't make a piano instrumental available to download for this one :( But you could use the original track "Loss of me" to sing it!

[UmbraPrelaitor]

@HollowRiku thanx! Sorry, 1 more thing. Where do u fing FF IX? I can't find it.

[HollowRiku]

@UmbraPrelaitor Do you mean a copy of the game? It's very hard to find it right now :( You could try looking for it in ebay (or downloading it and playing it in a PC emulator =P)

[UmbraPrelaitor]

@HollowRiku I've notice. I can't find it anywhere. Thanx, I'll see if my bro can download it. ^_^

[Brooksssy7]

This is wonderful. Thank you for making this.

[HollowRiku]

@Brooksssy7 Thanks to you for your comment!!

[DeeCheRay]

This deserves a better microphone seriously

[HollowRiku]

@DeeCheRay Thanks! I might redo this cover in a future, I don't like it and I have a better mic now! ;w;

[NightmaresGoodBye]

='D Beautiful mi hermano! Casi lloro! I mean, seriously! You and Kate should do more collabs.

[HollowRiku]

@NightmaresGoodBye Thank you nightmares! *-*

[kuri4001]

was going to ask where are you from, i noticed an accent...then I read you're from spain xD

[FeakuFeather]

This is the first sung i have heard, it's pleasure to hear it again, again ^_-

[HollowRiku]

@FeakuFeather Thanks!! Make sure to listen to the original one sung by Kate, her version is so much better!!

[Jennifer2980]

Very well done!

[HollowRiku]

@Jennifer2980 Thanks!!

[Jennifer2980]

@HollowRiku Your most welcome

[HolyRibbon]

i like it XD but i almost can't hear your piano

[HollowRiku]

@HolyRibbon Thanks!! It's probably a mixing problem, sorry T_T!

[PBearTime]

Kate's version is freakin' amazing, but your voice puts an interesting twist on it.

[HollowRiku]

@PBearTime Thank you!!

[angel2895]

I can't tell you how many times i listened to this song in the last 3 hours. XP repeatedly, i would love to do a duet wit a guy as talented as you, but my recording stuff had a major issue with some water. ^_^

[HollowRiku]

@angel2895 Ow, thanks a lot angel T___T!! I'm sorry about your recording stuff!!

[angel2895]

@HollowRiku it's cool, im getting sum new stuff sometime around the end of this year, never trust a flight attendant that hates you, have any kind of controll over the suitcase that has all of your recording things in it. XP oops i already did.

[norsefireV]

[Reno727]

NP good vocals btw do i hear a bit of spanish/mexican/pourtugeise?

[Shdinexus]

Portuguese not pourtugeise

he is Mexican I think so it's a Spanhish accent.

[XdjXlozzieX]

[HollowRiku]

Wow thank you!!

[Galgamos]

[HollowRiku]

Thank you!! =D

Do you mean a duet with Kate?

[sebasdiabloo]

yep, somehow kates sweet voice and your more serious voice describe perfectly beatrix for her being a woman and a general.

[veriden22]

I think this would be a good duet song for you two.

[HollowRiku]

Wow thank you xDD I would love to do a duet of this song with Kate!! But

1- This is her arrangement, after all!

2- If I sang this one with her, I think some ofher fans would dislike my voice x_x

3- Kate is too busy =P

[AyaandCeres]

Well, they should like it! I think your voice is completely adorable, and a duet with Kate would bring a tear to anyone who has a good heart. Your voice just has the...touch to it.

[EtherealNoctis]

*o* I love your voice!

You are fantastic! :o

[HollowRiku]

Thank you Ethereal!! Glad yo've liked it =D!

[VincentsGirl5]

you're welcome. I do have a question though if i wrote lyrics for cloud or Tifa's theme would you sing them?

[HollowRiku]

I might sing them xD That doesn't mean I won't like your lyrics, it's just that I like singing the themes I want when I can, and I don't know if I'll want to sing those =P Maybe yes, maybe no :P!

[VincentsGirl5]

that's alright i'm still working on them so it might be a while

[Intrigo91]

felicidades y 5 estrellas...

[SeeraAi]

I heart you Hollow =3 ^o^ ^w^ ^-^

Seriously one of these days I'm going to run up to you, somehow, and steel your voice box and then keep it in a jam jar =D I will then call it Hollow, and add a ribbon around the lid and a sign saying "DO NOT TOUCH THIS OR YOU WILL FAIL" and then, it will be placed on my bedside table and I'll tell it goodnight before I go to sleep *Looks crazy and like a stalker high on drugs*

mwehehe ^o^ *_* Love it Hollow.

And I dislike

GodAloneBeTheGlory's comment =(

[HollowRiku]

LOL Funniest comment ever xDDDDDD You're so mad, give me a bit of your drugs please :D You're so kind, Thank you so muuuuuch Sarah!!! *hugs x 100*

Lol, thank you =D

And well, Kate is a huge fan of you too so I'm sure she is delighted. I know I am ^w^ Oh and BTW, loved the OWA I don't know if i commented on it, but I'm in love with it <3

[HollowRiku]

Thank you x 1000! I think you commented, but there's no problem on commenting twice xDD

*Hollow steals some drugs and runs away"

[SeeraAi]

Well I watch it nearly every day xD

*Rings the police to report theft*
