love your "ay's" at the end of words when you sing them, this is not an easy song. Nice work : ) Whoo your "Easier" up an octive was an awesome way you made it your own, almost sounded "Heart" like : ) Nice look at the end there, way to finish the song girl, rock it, hope you do find your song writing in the future :D
@MsLunarAngel Thanks! i didnt really know how else to sing the words except with SOMEBODDAAAAAAAYYYYY... haha. But it turned out alright i guess:P. Thank you for the encouragement, comments like these make me feel so great about doing what i love!
Jeez you don't start small do ya! taking on Lzzy is a major undertaking, not to mention pulling it off with just a computer, no headphones or compressors and FX.
Jeez you don't start small do ya! taking on Lzzy is a major undertaking, not to mention pulling it off with just a computer, no headphones or compressors and FX.
I love your voice, and as far as I'm concerned, those that talk down to you couldn't do what you just did. You have talent, and I hope you continue on this path. I hate labels. People like to shove people in boxes, and I think that's bullshit. Scene or not, you should sing what you feel comfortable singing.
@KissMyFreckle thank you, it means a lot to me. love this comment :P people like you are what encourage me to keep on doing what i love. and i think no matter how bad people suck, if they love it, they should do it. just say eff all the people who say bad things. truth is: they are just one tiny dot in society. and there is a whole world of people out there who are proud of those with the guts to keep on singing. :)
wow janessa...really impressed. As for the person who said you should sigs Paramore...hayley williams doesn't even compare to Lzzy. You keep it up, and you will get there. I am a guitar player, 13 year worth...lol, If you would like to do a youtube collab, I would love to. Im sure you have have heard the covers album...The cover by heart...you wanna try, I will send you a video, or somethin, let me know, and dont EVER give up on your music, take care, john
janessa i saw Halestorm in 2006 before they released their first cd and when I heard this song i was blown away by them and I think you did a fantastic job covering it and even changing some of the pitches and tones to form to your voice. Excellent job.
lol, very well done. I especially like the "And that's HARD! ... if you don't like it, YOU try it!". And hey, if Lzzy likes it... well, Lzzy likes it. Period. :)
You've got the voice, the attitude and the looks, so go and write some songs!
you are really good but two songs I would love to hear you sing are have you ever been in love by celine dion and i will always love you whitney houstan version i could so hear you singing them and i would really really love to hear you sing them
hey chick i thought that was pretty freakin good. im not a big halestorm fan but i do like their lead singer's voice. i thought you did a good job singing bc u can let ur voice ring out like hers.
fairly nice but and im not saying i can do this better (mostly cause im a guy lol) but you voice idk kinda lacks the attitude or ummm ruggedness lizzy has. you have the voice i know it just try putting more attitude into it
apart from that though my only criticism would be that you need to work a bit more on your range, like i'd like to see you sing something which uses your vocal ability to the max.. if you listen to Lzzy in some songs (especially Take My Life) she fully utilizes her voice and does it with very little effort at all..
I like your style, you got a natural rock vibe going on there.. you seem to be a natural singer.. but you need a bit more work on your breathing and control as it was a bit shaky in some areas. I think you're too good for poppy Paramore songs imo, you can go much further than that. Shake it up a lil though cos that's your style. Who cares about looks cos i was only listening to the voice :)
Hi! I think you have a great voice keep up the good work :) I really wish i could have the confidence to do what you do. And if anyone puts you down about your singing just tell them to go and fuck themselves.
You did a great job with this. I seen Lzzy actually commented too...how cool is that? I met her once after a show back in 2005 or 6 during their Snocore tour with Shinedown. They are by far one of the most approachable bands I ever met. Everyone was really cool talked to me for probably longer than they should have and never acted like I was taking up their time or anything. Halestorm is a class act. Keep your voice on track (take care of it) and practice practice practice. Loved IT!!
Hey Nessa! It's Richie! You told me about it today so i checked it out lol. F+@king amazing as always! Oh and 5 people missed the like button (must be tone-deaf drunks)
hey gurl! u were amazing! ur a very good singer n u deff shld enter that contest for halestorm! anywho like i said u r an amazing singer hope to hear more from you!
Beautifullllllllllllllll :D i write song ahaha lol i like to think of myself as a singer song writer :) add me on FB if you like jack baldwin RED CHECK HUDDY ON :D
You're pretty good but I don't think that's the right kind of music for you. You should sing paramore and stuff like that, not Halestorm. I agree w/ the person below, not that you're a dumb scene b**** but you are a scene kid, it's just not right. Oh, and I did try and I did it better than you.
@shennandoahlea lol... thanks for your opinion, but far from a scene kid. if people ever do label me, its usually "the nice chick that sings." i just make hair bows and like to wear them.. not for the style, just because i think theyre pretty. conceitedmuch?? jus sayin. i just love to sing. so.. artist to artist respect would be nice.. i'll check out your cover if its on here. id like to hear it. :)
@nessaROCKSTAR1023 i know a lot about rock music and singing and your VERY good...as far as the paramore/halestorm thing it doesnt matter....both lzzy and haley took A LOT of voice lessons and learned to play piano/guitar ....if you want to go up to the next level you gotta get yourself an acoustic and practise singing/playing guitar every day ....
the other thing is study breathing as your # 1 priority.
you are a natural singer and could be famous if u keep practising and learning ...
@nessaROCKSTAR1023 the girl didn't even have her cover on her page... coughs.. shennandoahlea.. puff! no worries hun you did great, I liked your singing, and it seems like you were born to do just that. Rock on girl!
@Zem0nkey lol... ooooohhhhhhh. shouldve thought about that. i had been making my own cute little bows and wanted to wear one in a video. I guess it does look kind of "scene", but as for everything else about me, i'm definitely not scene.... haha
you know i think she sounds good have you ever figured it could be the camera she is using? think before you post anyway Nessa you fucking rock! you should join a band!
@LolitaXThirteen want some advice. why dont you shut up and just keep comments like that to yourself. nessa that was awesome and dumb people who just put people down should really take up another hobby. good job nessa!
@LolitaXThirteen > you sayin lzzy doesn't know talent? lol i'd like to see you sing it and post your video. then i will consider your advice. thanks for listening.
i know right?? if i was warmed up i think i wouldve covered it better. you wouldve liked my |I get off" cover.... it was pretty good. i deleted it because i messed the lyrics up lol
Hey Janessa!! This is Lzzy from Halestorm.Thank You so much for covering our song! You have an AMAZING voice! Great pitch and timeing! Not many people realize how hard it is to have both, you were born to sing! We have an It's Not You karaoke contest on our site, where the winner gets to sing it with me, you should enter! Love your attitude too, "if you don't like it, your try it." You rule hard!
@Jrod2132 i actually tried for American idol and got through, then they basically said to come back when i'm older. they dont like to spend money on school lol
@jenise155 Hey, This is Lzzy from Halestorm...we have two tix under her name, Janessa Bryan, on the Halestorm guest list for tonights show at Sammy Ts. See you tonight;)
It sounds good, but can you sing it that well without the actual track playing in the background? I'm taking a voice class now & our teacher says that's cheating to sing along with the artist. We have to stand up & sing with a karaoke track or live piano accompanying us. It's harder to do without the the vocals to match your own voice to.
@salvadore88 She sings alot, mostly with only music not the artist. Won a few contest. Made it through 2 rounds of american idol last year. She just loves to sing and write music.
Lzzy twitted this, and she would like you to do that its not you contest on their website, if you win you get to sing with her on stage!!! You should really check it out, Great voice by the way!
we should make a duet. ^.^
