Pok3rf4ce - Part of me was hoping you’d sing a Coldplay song, I personally thought they would have been a good choice for you this week. I think that you performed well with the song you chose, although I can hear your voice struggling on some of the long notes, particularly at the end of the song (I am taking the fact you have been unwell into account in my rankings; I’ve had to submit songs on TI after bouts of laryngitis and chest infections so I applaud your determination). Technically, you were pretty much on pitch and in key so I commend you for that, but I do feel that you’re falling into the trap of choosing the wrong song each week.
COLDPLAY! <3333333333333333333333333333333333333333333
I adore Coldplay, I didn't even think of Sky Full of Stars/Magic though. Thanks for this critique though, Pok3r, it was super duper helpful. I will admit that I've been making the wrong choices... I'll work on that if this goes any better.
As for Dude's comment about personal feelings in relation to songs, I seriously do have an issue in giving my voice to songs that I don't agree with. I think you have to understand and connect with a song to perform it well and I haven't done that yet, and if my critiques are about tone well then I need to make that better through connecting with a song.
Anyways, thank you all so much for the critique, it really helps. :) I hope to see next week to take it all on board, but if not, well then I'll happily sit on the sidelines and enjoy watching this all play out! :p
