Okay so I did a Dont Stop Believing cover for my boyfriend. And one of my friends was trying to nicely say it was bad, and the other told me it was great. So obviously I dont want to give my boyfriend a video of me singing bad, so tell me if you like it or not. If not, fantastic I'll practice more and make another video, if its good, then good. I just need you guys to tell me what you think. Nothings too harsh, but try to be honest. THANKS!
(Dont let the mushy get in the way!)

You need singing lessons. Badly.

ALSO: does this smell like chloroform to you?
I don't want to be mean, because you clearly care about this a great deal, but.. this is pretty bad. I really try to avoid saying that when I give critiques, but... this is just. Bad.

Can you hear how off pitch you are? You aren't even singing half of the correct notes. This key is probably a little high for you to be singing in - I'll be honest, I couldn't listen for more than the opening, so I don't know for sure how well you fared at the rest of the song, but from what I could hear, you would probably benefit from knocking the key down a step or so.

Either lose the guitar or get the vocals playing in the background so you have something to match up with. I think you're concentrating so much on playing the guitar that you're not thinking about singing - which you need to be doing. You can record the guitar separately or... I dunno. Something that doesn't involve playing and singing at the same time.

Practice some more and try again - I wouldn't give this to your boyfriend as is.
