I'm gonna rate your cover 85% out of 100%
I think your voice is really great and stable..but you strain when you sing higher notes..I really like the energy that you put here..^^ keep on practicing on higher notes than notes that are in your comfort zone...good luck <3

Your voice is quite stable in the first verse but it became flat before the chorus and bridge..I can really sense your feelings in this cover and I love it!! I hope you learn how to control your voice more 'cause I know if you master it you're gonna be so awesomee <3

I really love your voice..It's really soft and pretty ^^ perfect pronounciation and I didn't found any wrong pitch..the only thing I'd like to add is your mixing isn't the best D: It can be improved..like in "Before you came into my life" the "I missed you so bad" is a little late..It's just that kind of imperfection..other than that I think you're amazing <3 love love lovee this cover!!

you have a pretty good voice and I think you can hit those high pitches really well but I still hear some flat notes..You also sounded kinda nasal at some parts..but overall I still enjoy your cover and I hope you'll improve more by practice :D GOOD LUCK!!

I gotta say you improved everytime I heard your cover :D this cover is really good..the only thing lacking is the harmonies..It sounded pitchy but your main vocals are fine..just work on singing harmonies by hearing the song carefully and not just sing it with your intuition 'cause if you're not pro you can't really determine which note is the best for the harmonization..so it's better if you copy the original first then maybe after lots of harmonizing someday you can do it by intuition :D

Idk if you can critic an acapella because mine is an acapella lol

other than the "hmm" in the beginning I think you don't have any false notes/pitch..I really like your voice and I think your pronounciation is flawless as well..I really like the fact that you sang the song in your own style instead of copying the guys voice..you did a really great job and I'm looking forward for your next cover!! good luck <3

well,this is better than the last cover you gave me..I think you definitely sing better in Japanese..but I still have the same critic for you..you sounded good at the verse and not in the chorus..and even though the mixing is really good I can still easily hear the pitchyness of your voice.. in 03:26 - 03:38 is just soooo forced..I'm worried with your vocal cords D: you shouldn't sing with that much force if you can't reach the notes It would only damage your vocal cords and also wouldn't sound really good for the cover..

Haha thanks ^^;;
Yeah, rock's not really my genre... the chorus of twitter, esp the last chorus, was out of my chest voice range. But rock, which is meant to be sang powerfully and belted out, sounds like crap if I try going into head voice/falsetto. Any tips on increasing chest voice range or increasing head voice strength? :/

For Chest Voice: Relax, drop you jaw, open your chest breathe deep and sing. Stretching your vocal range can only be done with doing it. If you're serious, find a voice coach, but give your body time to adjust. Sing beyond your range, but don't force it.

For Falsetto: falsetto is a vocal mode but in order for singers to achieve mastering any vocal mode, they must make sure they have mastered the natural voice first, there is no special exercise for falsetto, it's just a softer way of singing.

Hope this helps :D

I think you made this song sadder than it already is >< I don't think you have any pitch problems but I think the way you sing it is really TOO emotional..it really feels like you're about to burst into tears while singing it..you know you can sing with emotion without sounding like you're sad right..? you can take Insooni's goose's dream for instance,she sang a really emotional song but she sang it with so much power yet she still manage to sound powerful..

Hi Rie can you critic this please ^^ ? Thankyu... I know that i miss rythm in this song...

power .. but this song doesn't require power, i think :)) .. i actually took the BEG's version of this as an example and i think i actually lack that emotion :)) ahaha so yeah!~ .. anyway, thank you very much for allotting your time on this review .. thank you :))

I like your voice..I think it's really pretty and soothing but I think you sing with the wrong technique..learn how to sing with your diagphram (you can look it up in google and youtube) and also I think your voice still needs polishing..but from what I hear you have a lot of potential in your voice and I'm sure if you practice enough you can be so amazing ^^

I think this is quite good ^^ you two sounds so in sync..and Shiori you sounded soo cute :D I think your voice really suit this kind of song..
the male singer is really good at controling his voice but he lacks at emotion..on the contrary I think you lacks voice controling but you have a really great emotion..I think that's the reason why this duet sounded soo good,It's because you two completes each other flaws :D

I'm going to close this thread for a while from 19 June - 29 June..I'm going to Singapore for holiday..sadly there's no wi-fi in my apartment there..so yeah :D just a reminder..
