I believe you have what it takes my friend. You sound a little nervous but that's normal. The voice is good and strong. Keep it up and don't worry too much about it.
I have a studio near Pittsburgh, I think you could be a good singer if you had a little more confidence. I can tell that music means something to you, and that will come across in the studio. If you ever get over my way, drop me a line, be happy to let you try some recording. One thing I was curious though- why is it such a big deal "a black guy singing country". You just a man, color dont have nothing to do with anything. Music is about heart- not color. Like I said, contact me sometime!
Way to go! you are good.. we need more black people to sing country. Now get on American Idol or head for Nashville soon! Keep it up.... you do better than most while people and you have no music to back you up and it is hard to sing without music.
Great voice man! you sound a little like Charlie Pride a great black country singer. You should YouTube him!, but I got to admit the way you keep looking over your shoulder it looks as if you don't want the brothers out side your window to hear you singing country.LOL I'm just kidding with you. keep up the good work and you'll build up that confidence! Good luck man!
you did really great. i could also tell you were unsure of yourself and nervous. with that voice you aint got nothing to be nervous about. dont let no one bring you down just believe you are great and it will show. :) keep it up
Great song, but I can tell you lack some confidence. Sing from your heart and don't let anybody bring you down. Country music is just southern gospel with some twang guitar.
@Shaolinsnake66 thank you I think this is one of the first cover videos I did after I did this one I started another youtube channel of just me singing which reminds me I need to do a new vid
IM COUNTRY MUSIC FAN BUT LIKE ALL MUSIC BUT RAP AND YOU DO HAVE A GOOD VOICE FOR SOUL LIKE TO SEE IT CLEAN AND NOT ALL THAT RAP JUNK KEEP DOING WHAT MAKES YOU FEEL GOOD
Wow, Yeah I am a metal head, from Oklahoma, So I know all about country to and sir, You Nailed it. Hearing alot of country bands in the bars I go to, You would wipe them all out... Make more videos please.
Keep it posted. . .I am a Texas boi by birth and Randy Travis remains one of my favorite. . .in fact anytime I am in a place where they have karioke, I always sings "Forever and Ever"
i loved watching you sing this song, you gotta learn to play the guitar and sing and you will be awesome! message me if you ever need tips on playing guitar : )
a lot of people say they got the feeling that i was nervous I don't know i may have been its been a while since i made the vid but I'm glad ya'll seem to like it I'm not trying to get to Nashville or anything lol lol lol
I can tell you didn't know any of the words by heart but you have great INSTINCTS. You know the song so now you have to LEARN it. Once you know the words you won't be half as nervous and you will be twice as good...even though this was already good.
you are great man you should sing another randy travis song on here i would love to hear try no place like home im also a big randy travis fan man keep on siniging
clearly this wasn't the right song for you. that's the bad. now, for the good... you need to post a song singing a anthony hamilton song. i hear a lot of similarities between the two of you.
"Clearly"...hmmm I think I have more positive comments then negative but everyone is entitled to their opinion I'm not a real fan of anthony hamilton and I don't know any of his songs I've heard one or two but I don't really know them thanks for your comment
You know what Bro. I like you. You seem like a really nice guy. Not to many black folk singing country now a days. Be cool and keep sangin!!! Later Bro.
You have a beautiful voice and it would be a blessing to all of us if you continue to sing for us. I loved it. Please don't be discouraged by youtubers. They are professional haters. I've never come across a site where certain people didn't behave like complete a-holes. Anyway, I loved your version! thanks so much!!!
get rid of those nerves and i have a feeling you're pretty good... confidence helps a lot, and you seem to lack in that area. That said, you have a good voice, keep it up.
Why so nervous my friend? You have a great voice, reach deep inside and find that confidence and your talent will soar. God bless and never give up on your dream.
we should all just get together one day and make a dream come true and sing for a world, we all have a voice, some for tv, some for radio, and many more for us all
you know what man. i'm am fucking extremely impressed cuz nobody ive ever met could sound this close to randy as you can dude you should try out for american idol. Dont ever let anyone tell you different and dont let them break you down.......much love man..........juan
Thank you for your comment I'm glad that you liked my vid some people like it some people don't i'm glad that you did and you gave such a awesome comment right on dude (did i say right on and dude.....lol)
Hey man, why do you seem so nervous? It sounds good. I think that more black folk should sing country... Don't get me wrong, I'm not a real big fan of Cowboy Troy but thats cause of his music not color. Keep up the good work.
i admire your bravery for singing a song that is virtually untouched territory for most black people. you did really good man, and your deserve even more credit for singing a capella. kudos
Good voice but work on the timing. But maybe that makes it your version. Any do not ever be aplogetic about getting yourself out there on a medium like this use your freedome man!!!
You did very good with this. Keep up the good work. My only advice is look into the camera while your singing. Put a little more soul into it and a little less pause between sentences, and you'll be ready for american idol
Man I don't know why, but I love hearing brothers singing country. Nice job man.
