I did this song in the style of David Bowie! Hope you like it!
Tell me what you think of it?

either way, it's always nice to listen to you!
Really really good enjoyed listening to that performance.
Regards from a frosty cold Scotland

@Gaston_Jauregui Thank you as well!
@Klaus_T I wanted to do Bowie style, but not dwell too deep to where my voice was lost and it was more a David impersonation. You get what I mean?
Yes just doing the intro the now to get it correct, once thats down, recon the rest of the track should be straight forward.
George
Here's the revised into + verse quite a few takes to try and get this correct Crazy Little thing Called love - Queen
This Track is in Eb.

wow, nice "Elvis" tone in your voice - that is great. And where is your crazy Scottish accent???
But to be honest, I have to tell you that you will have to work a lot on pitch. I sounds that you are really disconnected from the playback: This is only my personal observation. Probably this might help:
- You have your synthesizer at home, right?
- Try to play the the melody of the verse with your synth along with the playback
- Afterwards stop the playback
- Play the melody of the lead vocals
- Try to sing to that and record it (only the melody and your singing)
We will get you there. But, your tone already improved very, very well.Oh, George, good to see you to accept this unsteady path. You will get there. We will help you, you Elvis, you.
Doc
This is a beginning of another steep learning curve, get a song down right now need real time tuition, but really happy with the sound getting good and not intended to sound like "Elvis" just my natural voice.
George
Not sure on the singing notes this is in Eb the original was in D, let break in down what notes I have to sing in the first 2 parts anyone got any ideas.
Or maybe get the Karaoke-version in original key?
George
Wigs
Had an idea your super good could you do accapella of crazy little thing called love in the original this might help.
What do you think just trying to think outside the box!!
George
You could download just the vocal for yourself, in different keys, and practice with that.
Ok thanks for that didn’t realise you could get vocals as well. Need to give it a go thanks for your help.
Kind regards
Vocality (George)
wow, great idea.
Thanks, Doc
No extra charge every time you edit your backing track for download really good.
Here goes without karaoke prompts, think this will help in the long run I have to get rid of the crutches.
Gonna try accapella to try and get the feel for pitch and then apply it to the backing track again only start with the intro.
Vocality
Just downloaded the acapella on karaoke-version so give that a try first, very nice of you to offer though,.
Thanks
George
Struggling with the original key of D, have now downloaded it in Db more comfortable half step lower and can always work up to the original Key.
Learning alot here have a good vocal range in scales, but when you put it into a song not so easy.
George
This aint easy guys any advice to help please so frustrated.
George
@huduvudu I will upload the verse and will try best to match the notes.
Your a life saver that makes sense, do them along side the scales.
Will try that out thanks for your help
George 😀😎
Just wanted to check you do the toggle exercises under the folder 4. Better Pitch Toggle exercises 1-7.
Regards
George
Here you go @Vocality !
I did this just now. If you need me to do it better. Tell me.
Hope this help.
Did it in one take so you could hear the breaths and where I take them.
@HuduVudu kindly pointed out need to do toggles have a resistance switch to next note, can do it in scales but not in singing.
Practice toggles with normal scales and post it later.
Hopefully can get this sorted now I know the type issue I have. just need to the apply the extra exercises to increase agility.
Many thanks been so frustrated on this one.
Great acapella
Many thanks
George
The acapella you did sounds like a great example of contiguous phrase singing, I really like the way you blended the consonants.
@vocality When I started trying to apply the scales to singing and finding the melody, I shared some of your problems. What helped me was listening to the same few songs over and over ( I need a bit of variety other wise if it was just one song it starts to feel stale for me) for days on end, even singing with original vocal and lyrics then trying the karaoke version straight after. Then I started to develop a bit of memory of how it would sound and I found it all flowed better. I know that at the moment you are concentrating on matching the original melody, but I must say in the version you posted, I enjoyed how you changed it up even if it was unintentional. It sounded like the beginnings of your own version.
Looking forward to the next post of this song!
Thanks for your comment, if I can get the pitch correct will do it in my own style on pitch. I think that was what @doc_ramadani and @Michael4000 we’re trying to say correct me if I am wrong.
Nice to do a song like the original, I think we all need to have our own style to the song as well.
George (Vocality)
Right have been busy done bit work "Queen crazy little thing called love" think getter closer how did I do, post half the song for advice and critque.
