Every aspect of this production is just awesome! I'm so impressed with this! Both the audio and video productions blew me away! And your vocal skills are really remarkable. I've never heard the original version by Usher, which may be a good thing. But I can't see his version being any better than yours. Really a great, great job and you should be very proud. Looks like you've found a musical style that fits your skills perfectly and one of the most professional sounding recordings I've heard. Pete UPDATE: I just listened to Usher's version of the song. I like yours better. My only critique would be that it appears you need a better stand for your keyboard. Yours seems to move around a bit as you play. That would drive me nuts although it doesn't seem to impede your playing skills at all. I use a Z type stand and it seems to work fairly well.

Thanks clean,pete and mgh, put a good deal of work into this and even though I dont have the best equipment, Im happy with the end result.
pete,your right when I seen the video take of the piano shaking I wanted to redo it but time and lack of patience made me leave it there! I guess Im used to it shaking at this stage. A screw tightened should help a little but the stock stand is pretty flimsy as is. (Bear in mind the original song is a half a key up which would have made it sound better when you switched over!!!)
Thanks again.
Cian

I know beagle, I know!
Thanks mark, gotta throw a bit of goofy-ness in there too,its who I am!
Hi Tony, thanks for you praise, I know you appreciate that genre. Vocals could be a little smoother (especially the falsetto) like your own but will suffice.
Thanks also bret man,delighted to get a good handle on both the audio and visuals and with very bog standard gear.

Just a quick bump. This project is too good to be dropped off of the forum's first page. I suppose I'm a bit naughty. I downloaded this song from Youtube and put it on my mp3 player because I liked it so much.  Pete

you do realize this is a cover, right? you could download the original mp3 from amazon for $1.29.
I meant that I downloaded Whacks's version of the song. I don't really care for Usher's version.
