  • Congratulation! very good.

  • Handsomely done, my lad. Handsome indeed.

  • i don't think the accent has anything to do with the things that need to be worked on.

  • This is fabulous Robbie, it really shows off your talent! Well done!

    Paul Wiens

  • I like your voice. It has a very warm timbre that is somehow comforting to listen to. Work to extend that through your upper voice. I'd also like if you sang phrases instead of a series of words (this gets better when you do faster lines). Overall, it's nice.

    Oh, and be sure you know your song's composer :)

  • Well, I don't know the history of previous comments, but as a musician and opera producer, I would definitely say: Keep with it. You have a certain elusive quality... and a musicality.. And you deserve to do well.

  • nice!

  • You did good.

    I guess you know that everything always needs work. This isn't an exception, but who cares?

    You pulled it off, with feeling, and in as much character as you can ever really show in these types of performances.

    I suggest you rest on your laurels, so you're not too much competition for me :p.

    Or keep going, and be awesome. Either one works.

  • Teddy's a professional singer in his thirties.

    From the looks of it, this guy's in his twenties. It's like going to go kart races and saying "Michael Schumacher does it better". You're right. But it doesn't stop you being ignorant.

    Robbie has a natural disadvantage being American, it makes singing British English way harder. Teddy had it easier, speaking as a New Zealand Baritone, NZ English lends itself far better to this type of singing.

    Robbie's not a pro and shouldn't be judged as such

  • i saw it with teddy tahu rhodes also!

    how amazing was that?

    i still cant get over it!

    but dont be upset, your voice it good also!
