| My music background:I started Chorus when I was in elementary school, and I auditioned and got in the Honors Chorus for 5th and 6th grade. Also, in 5th grade, I started participating in Band and played the flute. I was in Band until 9th grade, and during those times, I was in first chair for the flute section. I even received an award for being the Best Woodwind Player in 8th grade. It was during my high school years that I started to record and do collaborations with friends for the fun of it. There was one time during my Freshman year of college that I went with my friend to a singing audition, I obviously didn't make it, but the judges said I have a nice voice, but need to take singing lessons to develop my voice even more. But I have never planned singing as a profession, so I didn't take the advice. XD Currently, I'm just singing for fun. A Friendly Note:I'm not exactly an easy grader. I can be harsh with grading. It takes a lot to 'wow' and impress me, because I have listened to many amazing, good, and bad covers. And I actually invested time in how to judge singing, because I had a close friend (that had intense training before with singing) before that pointed me in how to judge singing and stuff. Please do not be disheartened by my judging, I just want you to improve more! Or maybe you would even be able to impress me! :) Requirements for my Critique:- Only solo and duet covers. - Youtube links or Box.com links. - One link each time & only posting another one after 3 days from a previous critique. - Chinese (Cantonese and Mandarin), English, and Korean covers!

Any comments?: ^^ please enjoy & give me lots of tips xD Hooray! My first critique goes to you, Melody! - Spoiler:
First of all, I would like to say that this is a very cute song. And I have never listened to this song before, until tonight. I listened to the original version and your cover, and I would have to say that you express the same cuteness for the song overall as the original. And your voice is just as cutesy as the original singer! :) Pronunciation - 9.5/10: Overall, your pronunciation is right on spot. But there are some lines where you seem like you rushed through the lyrics, so some parts of the lyrics sounded like they were muffled. Both English and Mandarin pronunciation are very good! Emotions - 7/10: Good job in expressing emotions! But I think that because you have a softer voice, it seems like your voice don't fit this type of song. Your voice seems like it fits more for ballads. But you were able to express cuteness of the song! :) Overall - 78%: Overall, I did enjoy the cute cover! But there were some parts when you hit the high notes, it sounded kind of flat. Also, there were a few higher notes part where you went a little off key. So try working on that. As I pointed out earlier, you have a soft voice, so I don't think this type of song fits you too well. I hope to hear more from you, cause I can tell that if you work on strengthening your voice or choosing better songs to sing, you will sound really good! Beside you are still young, so you have room to keep on improving! ^^ Graphic Reward: Cutest Cover ![[CLOSED] LingLing's Book of Critiques 2cmujyg](https://2img.net/h/oi48.tinypic.com/2cmujyg.jpg)

Any comments?: Hmm not really... this song was a challenging request from Lillie, haha. XD Hey Shiori! Thanks for asking for a critique! :) - Spoiler:
I would want to start off to say that this is a very challenging song to sing! And I have to give you huge props for even attempting it. :O Pronunciation - 9.5/10: Your pronunciations are accurate. But during the verses, I'm not sure if it's cause of your mic, singing too quietly, or instrumental was louder than your voice, but I couldn't really catch every single word. Emotions - 8/10: Your singing was filled with emotions. You were able to express the emotions properly. But during some parts of the song, some of the emotions seemed like they were overly exaggerated by putting too much emphasis and stretch to some notes, which could make it sound a bit whiny. Overall - 70%: Overall, this is a difficult to sing, and I praise you for the good attempt! You were able to hit those high notes, sometimes I can hear that you are struggling a little to hold onto those higher notes, and sometimes the high notes sounds a bit whiny. I like the gradual build up from the low parts of the song to the high parts of the song. I would have to say that it will be good to work on controlling the flow of your voice when it comes to singing the high notes, like not to put an overly amount of emphasis and stretch to notes when singing. But I'm impressed that you were able to hit those high notes with clarity and not going off key (except for only one part in the song). Keep up the good work! I like your strong voice! :) Graphic Reward: Good Attempt ![[CLOSED] LingLing's Book of Critiques 28as65z](https://2img.net/h/oi48.tinypic.com/28as65z.jpg)

Hey Anny! Ohhh, I never heard of this song before, but I love it already! - Spoiler:
This is a lovely song choice! :) Even though this song seems pretty hard to sing, well with those high notes and stuff. But good attempt of the song! And the bird chirping actually was a nice addition to it. I actually thought it was part of the song at the beginning, until I read your description. Lol. And I would have to say your voice is lovely~ I want to duet with you soon! ^_^
Pronunciation - 9/10: There were some parts were your pronunciation was a little off. But other than that, I would say it's pretty good. So good job!
Emotions - 8.5/10: I felt like the feelings/emotions you put into singing the song fits well with the song. But I have to point out when you hit the higher notes, your voice sounds a bit whiny.
Overall - 80%: I enjoyed listening to the cover and the original song a lot. Your cover was pretty strong until last minute or so, because those were the higher notes were at. When you hit those higher notes your voice starts wavering/shaking and I can tell that you were struggling with those notes, and in result you went off key. There were a few notes here and there that you sounded a little flat. Try doing voice/singing exercise to help improve your higher notes to stay more stable. And when you sing those higher notes, use your diaphragm more. But overall, I would say I enjoyed the cover a lot. And as I said, I really love your voice, so I want to give you an award for one of the Best Voice!
Graphic Reward: Best Voice (will make it later!)

| Take note that I revised a rule! After I critique one of your covers, please note that you will have to wait 3 days later before you can post another one for me to critique. Well, you can post another one immediately, but don't expect me to critique it until 3 days later.... cause I can't critique that fast. I limit myself to only critique 2 a day. Sorry for the inconvenience! Also, three graphic awards made! ![[CLOSED] LingLing's Book of Critiques Of65no](https://2img.net/h/oi50.tinypic.com/of65no.jpg)

Any comments?: I know a went a little out of tune.Sorry DX Hey cloudymelody! Ohhh I love this song! Ailee made such a strong debut with this song :) - Spoiler:
A very lovely song! But it is difficult to sing. I give you huge props for attempting this song! You have a very nice voice, but I don't know if this song fits your vocal range. Pronunciation - 9/10: Obviously I do not understand Korean, but I am basing the pronunciation from romanization lyrics and the original song, but I think you did a good job with your Korean pronunciation. And your have correct pronunciation for the English parts of the song, too. Emotions - 7/10: You have emotions when you were singing the song, but it seems like you were struggling with the high notes, and it made it seem like you were focusing on hitting those high notes instead of bringing your emotions out. But there were parts in the song where you expressed good amount of emotions for the song! Overall - 76%: This is a difficult song to sing, and Ailee have a broad vocal range. Huge props for your good attempt. But throughout the whole song you were quite pitchy. As you stated yourself, you did go off tune and off key when hitting those high notes. There were notes where it seems like you were trying to force some notes out, because of the high notes. Though I am impressed how long you held onto that high note. O_O Overall, I enjoyed the song cover, cause you did a fairly good job, despite the mistakes here and there. As I stated before, you do have a nice voice, just remember to pick songs that fit your vocal range more. :) Graphic Reward: Good Attempt

It's a Jolin Tsai song! And it's a nice song, too! I like that your videos features you singing, Melody! And also that you include the lyrics, too. And good lord, do I see tears?! :O Pronunciation - 10/10: Your pronunciations are accurate. I couldn't really catch anything wrong with your pronunciations. Emotions - 7.5/10: You were able to express emotions to fit the song. But when you hit the high notes, it seems you were struggling and it sound quite whiny. Overall - 70%: Overall, I feel like the cover was alright. There were notes that seemed like it was too low for you and then notes that were hard for you to reach. Throughout the video, whenever you hit high notes, you go a little off key, which cause your voice to get whiny. But great job with the pronunciations! The video was also nicely done. Good attempt!

I can't believe I got an award. o.o Haha actually I'm a soprano/mezzo-sop. My range without falsetto is E3-D6. ^^" But what happened was that I wasn't really familiar with the song (hence the many missing adlibs and strange pitches), plus I had a throat infection when I recorded. Eheh ^^" Thanks for the comments, though! I will work harder! XD |

So I'm looking more for critique on vocal ability, like tone quality/control of voice/breathing correctly etc, as opposed to timing/missed entries/occasionally screwing up lyrics and stuff like that XD;; Sorry Shiori for the delay! Another song discovery! - Spoiler:
That's a good attempt for just learning the song in 10 minutes and recording it! I'm impressed! As usual, I think that you have an unique singing style. You give songs a different feel from the covers I have listened from you. :) Pronunciation - 6/10: A lot of your pronunciation seems a little off. It seems like singing in Mandarin doesn't sound as comfortable as singing in English (from the previous cover I critiqued). But it's alright, it's still pretty good! Emotions - 8/10: You expressed that sad sounding emotions that fits the song well. But your emphasis on some parts of the song just seems a little over-exaggerated for my liking. Overall - 72%: You started off the song pretty solid. But then the stretching or you could say emphasis on some parts of the ending notes sounds over-exaggerated, which in result makes you sound like you are forcing yourself to sound emotional. When you hit the chorus, the first note, you already went off key. But your voice control seems well enough that you can switch your voice from lower notes to higher notes easily. But once again, I feel like you have a difficult time reaching the high notes. It sounds like you are straining your voice when singing high notes. :( But overall, I think you did an alright job on this cover! Graphic Reward: Good Attempt

| I'm going to have to go on a short hiatus!
I will complete all the critique before I accept anymore new covers to critique! :) |
