Take it from an old guy, a musician who has sat at table with Billie Holiday -- that was hip and swingin' alive! Tempo-wise, you can sing it as fast as you like, and so that criticism is just silly. Man, that quality of voice blows me away. Not easy singing unaccompanied and pulling it off that well. You are music, sweetheart, and I loved it.
I agree, it was a bit too fast for my taste but you have a beautiful voice. I can hear that jazzy touch in your voice that Ella has too. But at the beginning you said you wanted to just be happy with it and I hope you are. n3n Well done.
Yea, I just sat down at my computer that day and thought "hhmm, I wanna record some Youtube videos" so it was VERY off the cuff." And if by "professionally" you mean in student-run groups at my school, then yes. lol.
sure, a little rough around the edges but you were just singin to yourself at home, and your first youtube post, so what's the problem with that? it actually gave me shivers, i could feel you were feeling the music! you keep on going with this, we can tell it brings you joy and if it spreads a little joy to us too, amen!
man u r soooo good i cant stop listenin to it i think u should be famouse or something man u r good i want to be a singer to but im not that that good so maybe ill make a video and see wat u think bye bye lotz of love keep it up
Thanks! And Yea, I actually was nervous. I feel kinda silly admitting that considering I didn't even have an audience, and I had the opportunity to redo it if I wanted. lol. But it was one of the first videos I made, and I didn't quite have the hang of the Youtube thing yet. :-)
it was okay but you strained your voice and quickned the tempo. the changing of the voice is okay but when you do that annanceate more . the biggest problem was when you strained it. if you keep that up you'll ruen your voice.
Love the version you did but i would have loved you to slow it down a a bit. Me personally I liked Ella version because yes it was just a nursey rhyme but it was like Ella was telling us a story. Maybe its just me being picky though. But AMAZING VOICE
Thank you for the constructive critisicm! My singing has gotten much stronger since then, and if I ever did another version of this I would singing it slower and with all the lyrics. :-)
i think you sound ok, ALOT better then i could do but just slow things down abit & i think youll be fine, other then it being a little to fast i think it was good, keep it up,
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Way too fast! Stop embarassing yourself! Don't give excuses on camera! Stop being scared when you sing; I could feel your fear. I don't think you should sing professionally or do any more videos on u-tube. You should sing for fun and keep it to a minimum! This is the truth and I hope it doesn' t offend you.
haha, thanks for having my back! I appreciate the support! btw, I actually don't personally like version any more either because my singing has gotten much stronger since then. Be on the look out for newer (and better) videos.
Thank you for your honesty! I actually agree with you on the first part because I know I can do much better than this now (I've had a little voice training since then). But I will most definitely keep singing songs by people with amazing voices because I can change 'em up a bit, and make them my own. Check out some of my other videos because this is actually one of my weakest ones. :-)
i dont really like it i think u were horible and its a tisket a tasket a green and yellow basket i wrote a letter too my love and on the way i droped it i droped it i droped it yes on my way i droped it a little boy picked it up and put it in his pocet soo burn
nice tone. your look reminds me of the girl in danity kane. there is a familiarity about your singing sound and look that comes across as someone already out there. I know you were trying to have fun with this song but Ella is a legend so in that regard take risk but be careful with choice of songs so that it doesnt seem like you are butchering the song. Anyhow keep doing your thing you have star quality there.
A little fast but you know what...you have a wonderful voice...for a voice without music you did well. It takes guts to sing the song of a legend so don't worry...No one can sing it like Ella anyway. Like a commenter wrote...perfect the swing, a little slower and you will have it
Thanks so much for the advice! I actually just re-recorded it a few days ago, and I'll be posting it some time within the next few days. Be on the look out! :-)
I commend you for trying and putting your voice out there for the ENTIRE WORLD to critique. That said, I would suggest you get in some more practice and just try to be mindful of pitch. Overall it was good, though. Good luck with your singing.
I thought it was green and yellow basket ?!?

You have a good voice - but try it with a lot less vibrato. EVERYBODY these days use mucho vibrato. Listen to how Ella did it. Very little vibrato.
