kevin, like campbell i have a little constructive citicism.........u are one of those "breathy" singers and that is cool, but u have to work on the power section of your range. with me the breathy stuff comes fm the diaphram but my power comes fm just below that. all u need is a couple of lessons on how to project and where it comes fm and u will be all over it man. isubscribed to ur channel and i will be watching u fm now on. good luck on ur carreer. ..............kenny

@fisherafterdark Hi Kenny, thanks for the feedback and advice on my performance. I really appreciate it.

wish I could play the piano just for songs like this - gotta use guitar instead! Sounding great, is it just a bit of reverb on the vocals?

[KevinLaurenceForum]

@MusicManAllan Thanks! I did use a bit of reverb on the vocals to give the overall mix some depth.

Kevin... I only have constructive criticism; I agree with the comments here. You've got a real talent... and it sounds like you, not like Billy Joel... I love Billy Joel... But I love YOUR take on this cover... Part of me loves this song just as it is.... However, I would like to see some POWER come out of there where it counts in "rock" part of the song... still be you by all means... just more sound; not as breathy, per say... other than that... I LOVED IT MAN!!

@trcampbell74 Thanks so much for the suggestions and positive feedback.

LOVE this video!! Just wondering if you learned the piano part by ear of if you used sheet music, and if so which edition? Thanks!

[VancouverComposer]

Well done. I share most of the same comments, but all in all, you've done a good job here, with a vocally challenging piece. And as a fellow pianist, congrats on your take on the piano part.
