My first Neil Diamond song
One of the artists that my voice has been compared to over time is Neil Diamond. There are similarities in my tone. I don't go out of my way to try ansd sound like anyone else but myself. The next video I uploaded was a Neil Diamond anthem (and probably still is). Cracklin Rosie. This was my......Read More

My rendition of The Scientist.
The next video I uploaded to Youtube was my seventh song, and my second Colplay number. A song called 'The scientist'. One of several Coldplay songs I really liked. Off the CD 'A rush of blood to the head'. It wasn't my favourite song on the album but it was definitely up there in my top 5......Read More

Video number eight. Babylon.
So now it was time for me to do some 'David gray'. The song is Babylon, which hit the number 5 spot in the UK in 2000. One of a number of good songs by David. I've sung this song, and other songs of his on various karaokes over the years, so the video was a breeze to make. All I needed was the......Read More

All this talk of getting old.
I wanted to sing the songs of many bands and artists on Youtube, and choosing wasn't an easy task because I had too much choice, but I chose a song from one of my favourite bands in the end. Their album "Urban hymns" has been played many times in my house and car. The band was "The......Read More

Sing Sing Sing
There is yet another band I like for their consistent releases. The band is called "Travis". I did a song of theirs called "Sing" for my tenth video on Youtube. It got to number three in the summer of 2001 in the UK. The 4th in a string of 4 top 10 hits. When I......Read More

Video 11. A good year for the roses.
My Eleventh stint in front of the webcam was doing another track by Elvis Costello, which wasn't originally by him. I can't remember who wrote, and sang it first. The Elvis Costello version was the first one I had heard. The name of the song is "A good year for the roses". This is......Read More

Warm touching warm
This was the last of the poor sound quality vids. So this one is a little on the quiet side again. My second Neil Diamond song on Youtube. Sweet Caroline. This is another one of his most well known songs. This is my version of that song: Me singing Sweet Caroline by Neil......Read More

REM and a Man on the moon
This is where the sound started to get better. Instead of playing the music through the speakers. I ran it through the headphones. So now the music and vocals were recorded through the Stereo Mix on the soundcard. Instead of it all going through the mic. It also mean that I could add some effects......Read More
