You've got a good voice. Very impressive. Personally, I'd drop the first 25 seconds, but hey what do I know. Well done.
Very professional. I'm also impressed. Not too keen on the song, though. (probably because I haven't heard it before)
Not the style of music I would choose to listen to but I was impressed.
I would like to hear a greater variance throughout the song.
I found it to be a tad monotone, if that's the right description.
Maybe the little graph we see on soundcloud indicates what I'm trying to say.

Overall a great effort. Keep it up!!!

Not bad at all.
Very good, I think it needs listening to a couple of times.
Like that, well done.
A splendid effort, Birdie.
Well done!
Like it x

Thanks for all the comments. I'm really grateful. If I'm honest, I'm not entirely happy with my vocal. I was experimenting with new equipment when I recorded it and I haven't got the best results due partly to a lack of familiarity with the gear but mostly to the fact that I rushed it. I should have done more takes of certain phrases but as I didn't I had to make do with the ones I had.

thesecondlaw - "... Personally, I'd drop the first 25 seconds...".

Fair enough. I like the clarinet though. You wouldn't believe the lengths I went to to get that sounding authentic!


Svejk - "... Not too keen on the song, though..."

I agree. It's not going to be everyone's cup of tea.


1ozzy - "... I found it to be a tad monotone..."

I would agree. It is. I'm going to do a song with a greater range next.


-SharonA- - "Not bad at all."

Thanks.


tonyav - "Very good, I think it needs listening to a couple of times."

Thanks. If you're listening to it through PC speakers, use headphones. I think it sounds better that way.


Mamyalynne - "Like that, well done."

Knowing your taste in music, that's praise indeed. Thank you.


Pete65 - "A splendid effort, Birdie. Well done!"

Thank you so much.


murraymints - "Like it x"

Ta, x :-)


Thank you for all your comments. I was expecting the worst and regretted making it pubic the moment I did. But thankfully none of you hated it. Phew!
why didnt you mention its a cover ?.....

Rufus Wainright does the best version of it...
George Michaels verion is ok also

...and regretted making it pubic ! Really?
It does say it's a cover on Soundcloud.
doesnt on here though does it !?

bazwillrun - "... why didnt you mention its a cover ?....."

I didn't think it was necessary since it says it's a cover on Soundcloud - "Cover of the George Michael version of Going To A Town"

Sorry if you feel somehow mislead.

Jackdaw33 - "...and regretted making it pubic ! Really?"

Doing something like this and telling people on AB is kind of painting a target on myself isn't it? 'bazwillrun' has already had a go at me for not mentioning that it's a cover!
I really like it birdie.

Of course there are occasional flat spots in the vocal - but that would be the case when GM sang it - but production would have ironed those out before release.

You have excellent phrasing, and you can hold a note with confidence - I would be very pleased if this was mine - well done indeed!
I don't get on with Rufus, George I can listen too in small doses...so probably the wrong song to get me overly interested.
That said, you have a decent voice, birdie.
Well done birdie, I enjoyed that :-)
