thanks so much.....I would love to start singing live.....i'm from portland, OR though and it is a pretty hard music scene here.

Can't find the "post comment" tonight! Hence, I'm replying. This is a really tough song to nail, and you did a very good job on it. And, hell, some of us make funny faces when we're singing--but not all of us sound this good when singing. I'd like to have a tenth of your talent.

@sirenofmillhill Thanks a lot. ;-)

@Dreambro1 Thanks man....on second thought I don't hate my expressions. They are just part of who I am. And I don't think my music would be as soulful if I didn't have them. And if people don't like them then they can just stop watching my videos! I really aprreciate your support Dreambro! :-)

@jazzman243 Dont hate the expressions, its better than Expressionless. Feel ur singing! What would people rather see? A blank expression?

@jazzman243 I know it was a long time ago.. but didn't take this guy too seriously. One could also accuse Stevie Wonder as having " too much nasal affectedness and much too much melissma (sic)" (singing vocal improv bits with a single word ie Mariah Carey or most modern r+b). Hope the singing is going well. It's a tough song and you did it justice.

GO FOR YOUR DREAM !!!

dont listen to people that make stupid comments ( sorry folks, give the guy a chance ) you must make the trip to NYC if this is what you really want to do. Personally, I liked your take on the song- and that is what jazz is taking a song and making it your own - go check out all of your local jazz clubs and watch the vocalists style, Im sure you will learn to bring your own style and see what went really wrong with the singers and plan to never do that on stage !! do it!!

[jazzman243]

I appreciate your honesty.....explain to me what melissma is please....thanks

I am not acting...its just how i sing....sorry you didn't like it!
