So, I'm working on a new track. Well, in fact I'm currently working on three. But this one here has been bothering me a bit. I have only been singing for about 6 months and I've always been told I can't sing etc etc so my confidence level when it comes to singing is pretty low. It's improved alot but is nowhere close to how I feel about my rap.
 
My girl has been singing all her life and I trust her more than myself when it comes to singing but on this track I just can't agree with her so I need help from you guys.
 
I've uploaded two versions of the second verse. It's only the singing in the beginning of the verse that is different between the two but I decided to give you the whole verse anyway to give you a whole perspective of the track. So the first one is how I naturally would like to sing, just as I naturally sang the rest of the track. When my girl said this didn't sound right (she liked the rest of the singing on the verse) I tried all sorts of different approaches and on Test 2 you can hear what she liked the best. At the time I was recording and I listened to the part on Test 2 over and over again I thought it sounded nice, but listening to it with fresh ears it sounds like **** to me whilst the Test 1 sounds pretty good.
 
So please do me a favour and have a listen and let me know what you think.

Thanks in advance.
 
 

And btw, everything is unmixed so don't bother about that stuff :)

Not sure which voice is yours - or are both of the lead voices yours?

All of the voices are mine.

No one?

Nobody on this forum will download songs ....either upload to soundclick or soundcloud or reverbnation so they can stream the songs then you`ll get some responses.
 

Alright, should've thought of that.
 
You can find them on www.soundclick.com/illerill
 
Thanks in advance.

Right after listening to both 15x or so I can say that version 2 is much better. :)

As it is a known fact that Wookiee singing kills at a parsec I am not the one to ask about vocals
 
Lets here the whole thing and I will make some observations about the mix.

I like version 2.  I don't understand why you say you have no confidence in your vocals.  They sound fine to me!  
Just believe in what you are singing.  Version one has segments that don't sound believable at all.
