A little bit of sheep phrasing here and there (seriously you really got to work on getting rid of that!), still some flats in places (a little less emphasis on pushing your voice would help smooth it out - and cracking on "flow" @ 1:50 doesn't help), but better than your last "Nevermore" effort. Harmonies are surprisingly good, I hope you weren't using pitch correction to achieve that :-)

Well I'm getting to know my voice better for each day that goes so i think it's only a matter of time until i fix my flaws. Like I've said before, ive not been singing seriously that long, but its coming along.
I would never use crap stuff like pitch correction, i rather have it real with some faults than doin stuff like that. But thanks, i recorded this real quick, maybe 45 mins and it only has a little reverb but that's about it.

I always wondered what Inu meant by "sheep-phrasing".....I listened to this, and now I know. It's not completely horrible, but I personally wouldn't keep listening if this was the offering you keep churning out. It's much better than your Nevermore effort, though. Again, it's nothing personal - if you're looking for true opinion, that's mine.

though this is nowhere near Freddies, it's better than all the other covers I've heard of this song, including George Michaels. It's in no way horrible. And by the way, no one is forcing you to listen either, you certainly have your right to not click on my links and you should, really.

I just listened to George Michael's cover and found that I actually like his version somewhat better than yours. This is the same arrogance people have been giving you shit about. People try to give you honest opinions and you dismiss them like they don't know what they're talking about. inu-liger and Thistleboy both gave you very constructive criticism and not attacking you at all. It's called an opinion; if you don't want bad opinions, don't ask for any at all.
I can't really give you much since I don't know much about singing. I usually keep that in the shower, and occasionally in public if I decide I don't give a shit what people think about me. I just know what I like, and I have an opinion.

He's clicking on the links because he's interesting in what you're working on and wants to give you feedback. Don't tell him to stop listening to you; like I just said, if you don't want opinions, don't ask for any.

He said that he wouldn't want to listen to stuff i do if they keep this quality so i only said, then don't click on the link anymore, problem solved. That is not constructive criticism.
Look, call it arrogance but i only say what i personally think and if that is called arrogance, then so be it. I personally think it's the best cover version even though i could improve it. That you said that you thought George Michaels version was somewhat better says a lot i think. Cause a once great singer like him, was only somewhat better than me is quite good i would guess. Or?

Why don't you post a better cover version out there so we can compare :)

No one's going to bother, because you are so arrogantly full of yourself to begin with.

No, you guys say it's that bad, then back it up with a better version then. Nothing arrogant about this if it's the truth.
inu-liger
Bullshit. George Michael's version was way
more vocally consistent.

I don't think Georges version is as good.

George Michael has better pitch.
Mercuryking
Even if he has better pitch, still don't think it's better. It could also be that I have a higher voice than him.
