Not bad- try breathing from the diaphram though. That will open you up on the higher parts. The best way to do this is inhale through your nose, hold it and relaxe. When you get the feel of it, then inhale through your mouth . Keep the throat relaxed.and lock the air in and sing..
Before you start, I liked your expressions ... you showed your heart without knowing it. Truly beautiful. This song moves my heart, too. All the best from Spain.
you sound very good considering the audio eqpts.(no offense)you're using..your voice overwhelmed whatever is lacking in the pre-recorded accompaniment. good luck and more recording on the way..you have talent with a capital T.
I really like your singing. Now you can start thinking about the "lyrics behind the lyrics". For example, in the bridge ("Funny, but it seems I always wind up here with you...."), try to convey the feeling that you are slowly realizing that the person you're singing to is the one you always seem to go to when you're feeling down and need a friend. It will give your singing another dimension, a subtle nuance. Hope that helps.
@Quatloo2007 Thanks. Hey, I was nervous; what do you want? I'm an actress, so I know how to do what you're saying. But I just kind of freeze up when the camera starts recording. I do loosen up a bit in my later vids though. Thanks again.
You look soo sad girl......Don't be.....There's soo many oppertunities for pretty woman......I'll give you a 7 on the song and a 8 on the look.......10 for trying...Thanks
i have been away for so long, my myspace is gone, i have been a facebook junkie, but as of late trying to get my own website going, but then i reconfigured my fave list, and there was you! miss listening to you. I need to get back to what drew me to youtube. :)
@songtruth .. aaah but if you listen to it its not a sad song .. she states .. "run and find the one who loves me" . its a song that says hey if your down go find something to cheer you up. she states "this has come and gone before" .. in other words .. i can get through it again. .. love you and your smile :)
My G-d, this woman really IS talented. to even attempt to sing a Karen Carpenter song takes a lot of courage, yet she carries it out magnificently. And it does not hurt that she is so very pretty, too. I think I am in love. Will you marry me? ;-)
Its a wonderful voice like the sound of angels, thanks for answering back to my email, I always listen to your videos at night time, it gives me peace, God bless
Nice voice, but I do not think you sound like Karen Carpenter. Some similar tones... but overall Karen's voice is quite a bit stronger with a rich and deep bodied tone. Fairly good voice although.
I just listened to your Downtown cover and thought you sounded a lot like Karen Carpenter, so I had to see this one, and it is amazing!!! You really ought to do voiceovers for her songs in a movie or something. She had a unique sound that can't be duplicated! WOW
Exceptionally great voice on this tune...love your vibrato. Look more into the camera and add facial expressions and you are a star !....Sing like you are singing to someone's face.
@thespermdonor I know! It may not be the Eagles' fault -- it's the company that owns the rights to the song, which may or may not be the Eagles. YT took another song of mine down, too, and they said if I get a third violation, they will shut down my channel.
I just ran across your site. Listening to you made me smile, but was haunting as well. It's hard to touch a stranger with your voice, but you accomplished that with me tonight. Thank you. It was my pleasure listening to you
I swear. Watching one of your video clips is like watching a familiar tv show and the producer decides to insert a musical interlude by having one of the cast members suddenly break into song. Then, there you are in the library, singing a song reflecting how the day is unfolding for your character in the storyline. Oh, gosh, it's fabulous.
Spot on, I love it. A Rainy day once in a while makes the Sunny days that much Sunnier and a Monday is fine...Just pretend it's Saturday and have a Party :)
I think your voice is similar, but I don't think that is what makes this video so great. I think what puts this video over the other covers on youtube is the fact that you sing it with the right amount of panache. This song is kind of sad, yet kind of romantic, which is a very difficult thing to convey. But you get the mood perfect. Very cool.
USA. has many wonderful singers but Karen Carpenter was the sweetest and most privileged voice. By listening to you. I relive the freshness of her incomparable voice. Thanks friend songtruth
if you kept the key the same as the first few opening lines without climbing would make it better in my opinion but well done but more with the blues would work wonders,
Thank you for letting me know about the Carpenter covers. Your very talented. Not a whole lot of people can even attempt Karen. But you do a wonderful job. Thanks again, it was a pleasure to listen.
Sorry for my "basic inglish", but ...your cover its so fantastic, you can play that song with a lot of feelling, i can feel a lot of emotions with your cover, very very nice!, congratulations!
I agree, you are pretty. I have to be honest in saying that's the initial reason why I clicked on your video! LOL But really, this was a good cover. I love this song and I've been trying to cover it on guitar. It's really hard.
i love your voice... and very similar to the original karen carpenter.... its just that u have to improve the chorus part... "hanging around" but it was great and im very impressed
WOW if i didnt know any better i would almost have thought it was karen herself giving me goosebumps truely stunning
