Me doing 2 outta 3 at my senior talent show
 

This was a great night. i gotta standing ovation.

What do you guys think of my performance?

YouTube Video

is it just me...or are people laughing? O_o

i dunno who they were but I dunno why they thought it was funny

Guess they were still laughing at my intro

Thank God I'm drunk

i doubt you were drunk

aha so you liked it?

Maybe it's due to the sound quality of the video but in the end it sounds like a Meat Loaf ballad done in the style of Shakin' Stevens, LOL.

my honest advice: take singing lessons.

you seem to enjoy performing very much, if you want to improve, do it. You'll have much fmore fun if you actually sing anything resembling the song. As of now, you didnt hit a single note...

Well I have one more performance this year. hopefully when I post it you will take that back. :cool:

Ah - now THAT is a mindblowing thought.

trust me chris, i didnt say that to insult you (for once lol), it's just my honest advice to you at this point

mr RJ, do you think consider yourself to be a better singer than he?

nope, but I consider myself having quite a good ear

Only the one?

To me, it seems in tune and in time, and you are certainly getting in character! You also don't attempt to exactly replicate Meat's performance, and sing it your way, which is great.

For me however, the performance is a little... idiosyncratic... a little too OTT... for mass consumption perhaps. But it's one helluva distinctive and unique style, and I certainly wouldn't say "go bland". Just maybe reign it in a little tiddly bit.

And I agree with RadioMaster about lessons to the extent that volume control techniques may be beneficial - nothing wrong with the core singing, just a little tweaking I think.

PS I've tried to be helpful as I like singing myself, but I haven't had lessons and don't know the technical side, so my advice could well be pants. Or not.

lol I know what you mean.

Good thing Took the words is a very easy song to sing :cool:

I thought your performance was entertaining Chris! You certainly went down well there. :-D

Have to say though I missed the fast moving ceiling fan just above your head from your home movies. Maybe you could wear it as a hat? A propellor hat perhaps?

OK, Chrissie...honest opinion...

You do have voice...I think RJ said to take singing lessons...you should probably do that...do you sing anything else besides Meat? You should try if not...

The last but not the least...this year auditions for American Idol (don't know when - look it up on the website)...are in Jersey City...that's a hop and a skip from you...why don't you do that while you're young and you have time to actually advance? Worth a try in my opinion...
