Thread: Croag's Covers

I really don't know why I'm making this thread, because I have no confidence in my singing abilities. LOL. But I guess I like singing, so why not! I only have one thing here at the moment, if that's alright. It's just I hardly get a chance to record anything because at least one member of my family are always around.

Solos

The Scientist - Coldplay this is one of my favourite songs from coldplay, and I personally think it sounds a lot better when I play the piano to it and sing rather than singing to a backing track. But I have no idea how to record my piano as well. (edit: so this is sung on a backing track :'() The reason I pitched it down so much was because I don't feel comfortable singing a high F (and because my sister was alseep upstairs). lol. I'm not too happy with this... at all, but whatever!

Reflection from Mulan I'm so sorry singer of this originally xD

Rolling in the deep because I was asked to on the karaoke thread. Some mistakes but that was because I just sang the whole thing in one go.

The A Team by Ed Sheeran.

Make You Feel my Love by Adele

Collabs

Read down for more info! A collab with CommanderPigg and Aestivate! :)

Other

You can check out my youtube - http://www.youtube.com/user/bubblewrappowah and I have a few songs that I have sung, for a website/game called Transformice. I know my voice is pitched up here, but I guess it's musical aswell! Haha. The reason I have more of these then me actually singing normally, is because it's not my normal voice. xD

I will update when I can

You made this thread because I forced you to >:3

Your piano playing is very lovely, for one. I love it when artists can make their own instrumentals.
And then I heard your voice.

Omgggggggg. You are amazing!! You have such a soft and sweet voice. You hit the high notes so wonderfully, really! I am in awe. And plus, I love the song choice. The song sounds good pitched down. You NEED to record more!!

we need to collab :3

@CommanderPigg Hahaha pretty much! :p and thanks so much! That really means a lot for me from you <3
Although i didn't play this piano for this one! :( maybe i worded it wrong, this is just the backing track, although I'll make sure when I get the oppurtunity to record it again with my piano. It's pretty much the only ever song I play!

And yes we should! :o

I really liked your cover! Your voice was very soft. ^^ Why did you wait until now to post this? :P

@Karamazov because i recorded it today ok :'(

Wow, I didn't expect your voice to be so lovely! You did an amazing job on the Coldplay song. Honestly I think the pitch was good for you. The high notes were really excellent. I hope you post more :)

@Paperhorse Thank you so much! :) I'll try and add more haha, i dunno what songs to do. I could do some pokemon ones, to make this more on topic.

omg what
i just recorded a version of the scientist before coming into this thread


now i'm scared of posting it because your voice is way more lovely

you are so precious. such a lyric soprano and i'm so envious of you and @CommanderPigg that I can't take it
can we please do a SSA women's choir piece or something? 8DDD

Echoing everyone else's comments, I think you have quite a lovely voice! I also think this key is very fitting for your voice; kudos for you finding what fits best! It's awesome how your accent can sort of be heard, too. ^^ Those "oohs" at the end were ZOMG!amazing. :O

My only critique is that when you sing phrases like "meet you," "find you," "need you," and "set you," you put each word in the phrases together; this may just be a personal preference, though, but I like it when each word is clearly its own. Other than that, it was very beautiful. Keep up the fantastic work!

Thanks for the kind words everyone! n_n
Aestivate: ahhh sorry! haha. But please still post yours! I love your covers. And we definitely should when you/I/pigg are free.

The PuppetMaster: Thank you! Haha, I don't like my accent. It makes me sound a bit too English xD and I agree with your comments about articulating each word, usually when I talk I mumble or miss out hard consonants at the end of words, so its hard to portray that whilst i am singing :p



NEW:
'BulbaBulba Yukai' a cover of 'Hare Hare Yukai' sung with the lovely @CommanderPigg and @Aestivate
Pigg did the awesome editing. xD I am Yuki, or the second person to sing, if it wasn't obvious, hehe. Thanks for doing this! It was very fun even if I have never sung in Japanese before!

WHOA. That was ZOMG!amazing. All three of you did marvelously; no one outshine or overpowered the other two. @Croag, you also improved on your enunciation! :D

Keep up the fantastic work, ladies. :)

@The Puppetmaster Thanks so much! :D I thought my enunciation was pretty bad here because it was in Japanese... and I had to sing quietly but I'm glad it seems like an improvement! :)

That really was great! I felt the song really showed off each of your personal abilities. It started to fall apart near the middle, but by the end you three were in near-perfect harmony. I hope to see more like this in the future.

i came.


to this thread!

ugh the finished project was every bit as incredible as i thought it would be, extra awesome points go to croag for pulling off japanese so well even though it's her first ever time singing in it!! this was way, way too much fun for words and i also hope for more future collabs x]

maybe tomare, the song from the second series?

Thank you everyone!

Another one - SO hesitant to post this because this is such a lovely song and I just killed it, but I only really had one shot at this because my sister was upstairs on our treadmill and now she's off it...
Anyway - Mulan Reflection Karaoke (1).mp3 - 4shared.com - online file sharing and storage - download Reflection from Mulan! I messed up the timing at the beginning and various other places but I blame that on the backing track :P
