    Phenomenal what a voice control you have. The instruments are like a glove. A similar voice at the lead as MJ he would have been happy to hear. GREAT WORK

    The only thing that annoyed me is that I couldn't do that in a million years.

    If I was being picky i'd say that there's something in the reverb tail that is a little too noticeable to sound totally "pro".......

    The thing that annoyed me about it is that you make all this vocal stuff sound so fookin' effortless and easy -   Grrr !  ;)

    I remember seeing an MJ cover of yours (can't remember which tune) on YT before I ever saw/heard you on here and thinking that was really good too. Won't tell you what Mrs Paulo (major league MJ fan) said about your dancin', but I thought it was pretty good.

    Cian, this is remarkable!  You just keep getting better and better, and I think you've found your niche.  Encore, maestro!

    All the best,

    It's good, I think the weak link is the bass.

    Ok, thanks all for listening. Majority of the vibe is a good one, enjoyed it and impressed.

    Thanks eko, the instruments are like a glove cos its a well arranged song, I have varied all parts a little but they stay true to the original.

    Glad you smiled Daryl, I too enjoyed taking off those 80's sounding toms!

    Thanks bapu, I see what you "da done" there!

    Dont say that Jonbuoy, if you spent as long as I do singing to myself everyday you would get a decent consistent vocal to carry out that stuff.

    Paulo, thanks for your reverb comment. I have to confess that reverb is one of things that I slap on without much attention I've no idea actually what a "good" reverb sounds like. I need to read more.Did you think the reverb tail was too long and echoey or something? Thanks for the other comment, I'm chuckling about the mrs. paulo's dance comments cos I know as a fan simply looking at other imitators never cuts the mustard and I too, get annoyed, so I can only imagine what she said, lol! but I enjoy doing it however, I need to start sticking to my strenghts though!

    Mark and Lynn, big thanks for your constant input. and yes I would consider that pop/rnb vocal my niche anyway.

    Robby, as a vocalist glad you liked it and thanks for the bass comment. I too would agree that it is the weakest link, its at the lowest of my register which is really tricky to do.

    Janet, to many good musicians around here to waste their time singing everything!

    Thanks all, I actually was more worried about intonation of the track, but no one really was concerned with that so I might re-track the end bass part and leave it go.

    Cian

    This is how I want Bapu to sing 


    But I know that is just a pipe dream that will never come true 


    It was good ... Very good actually 


    Too much reverb though

    Great M.J. Vibe back in the days when he didn't look like a monster in the face .
    I ran across one of M.J's MTV concert on youtube when he was in his prime and he looked like the real M.J back then and sang great back then too .
    Anyway you have his voice for sure after watching and listening to him sing on stage .

    Good one sounded great !

    Paulo, thanks for your reverb comment. I have to confess that reverb is one of things that I slap on without much attention I've no idea actually what a "good" reverb sounds like. I need to read more.Did you think the reverb tail was too long and echoey or something?


    Yeah, it's like the "room" is too big and it goes on too long so that it it builds up and is there in the background all the time. It's more obvious at the end where there is less happening, so might be a good place to use to make the adjustment. I have a tendency to over do the verb myself as I am fond of reverby sounds and also need all the help I can get to disguise the dodgy vox, but I believe that conventional wisdom is to set it so that you can just about hear it and then turn it back a little. Dunno if you ever watch Dave Pensado's  (Into The Lair) vids or not, but worth a look if you don't - couple on there about reverb on vocals that I certainly found interesting.

    I never liked this song but you did a bang-up job on this -- main vocal has more balls than MJ.  Only nit -- I did notice a tad too much reverb in spots.  Fun listen

    *EDIT - Change reverb from long plate to medium plate, some re-tracking of bass.

    Thanks everyone for the positive replies, means a lot, especially trying to get fresh feedback on something your ears get a little fatigued. And more importantly thanks for the replies to help me improve it, thats what its all about.

    Many have commented on the reverb, I have changed that so it shouldnt "linger" in the background as much now.

    Ill start the small video today and pop it on the 'tube.

    I've been itching to do an acapella tune, but haven't worked up the ambition.  I've got a lot of acapella CDs, and I go to a number of acapella concerts.

    I have a friend who netted a long time gig as Barbra Mandrell's guitarist and vocalist and he got the job based on an acapella song he recorded.  So it can open doors!

    Very cool Cian!

    I tried real hard to find something that 'annoyed' me. I got nothin.
    The only thing that entered my head was maybe a little more width in the stereo field here and there.
    But, not really necessary.

    Just Read your post above about the reverb. Yea, the intro line seems a little on the too much verb level to me.
    That's the only spot that I "heard" reverb as too much.

    This is amazing Cian.
    Bravo. Well done.
