Any feedback will be welcomed!

You have a nice voice and tone. You've got the range for this song too, I was surprised by some of the higher notes you hit.
There are some technique issues you can work on that will help to really open up your sound. Check out Kens video on sounding froggy

This frogginess is just a way to describe a sound relating to the laryngeal position. Yours isn't raised all the way up, in fact I think you use a fairly neutral position on the really high notes, but for the mids and upper mids you can bring it down. When you swallow, you feel something go up and down, this is the larynx, it can inhibit range and affect your tone if its not controlled properly.

Ill also guess English isn't a first language since I think I hear a bit of an accent. A way around this is to really think of the vowel you are singing and not how you think the word should be pronounced. This is how some people that dont speak English can sound totally American when they sing.

Keep it up mate, you've got a good base to work with!

@Wigs Thank you sooo much for your comment!
Yeah, I need to be more careful about laryngeal position, I need to keep it low position, right?

Regarding accent...yeah it's very hard for me... I'm trying to copy original song vowel but still it's not easy..

I really appreciate your constructive feedback!

@Kevin123 Thank you for leaving some feedbacks on my videos!
Yeah, I also notice some problems of my voices, I will try to work on it (it would take some time though )
