^I liked Best Years Of Our Lives. Also "Stay, stay, stay" by Taylor Swift. I have to give you credit for singing songs sung by girls without changing the gender, it takes balls a lot of courage to do that. Have you tried singing anything by Coldplay? for some reason I think that it would suit you.

Have you tried singing anything by Coldplay? for some reason I think that it would suit you. Thanks! I usually don't change the song to fit my gender because I just think it makes the song sound weird, at least to me it sounds weird because I am so used to the actual lyrics. And sometimes it's difficult to alter to lyrics and still allow the lyrics to fit the song (such as rhyming). It is basically just easier for me to sing the lyrics as they are, even if they don't fit my gender lol! I have done it before. I changed the lyrics for My Happy Ending and for Don't Tell Me, which I will hopefully be uploading soon. I just have to find time to edit it. I have thought of covering Yellow, I just haven't added it to my list. I don't have an actual list though, choosing a song is usually a spur of the moment thing. That's probably why it's never happened. |

I have actually noticed before that I tend to cover songs by female artists. I plan to cover more songs by male artists in the future.

This isn't a cover song, but a song I made as a project for a course I just finished this month in Music Production. It's uploaded to my second account rather than my covers songs account, but I didn't want to make an entire new thread. Please check it out and let me know what you think.  I call the song "Stellar". I also uploaded an alternate version of the track. The first one is the one I turned in for a grade while the other is a slightly different idea I had and created anyway. Click the images for links. |

Haven't recorded anything lately, so I decided to upload a snippet of a cover I did a while ago but never uploaded. I uploaded a version with both lead and background vocals and another with just background vocals because I think the harmonies sounds really cool. The cover is of Taylor Swift's "Wildest Dreams". |

If you like songs by female artists, cover songs by female artists. I liked Wildest dreams. The "down" repetition in the background is one of the best parts of the original for me. Don't tell me was good, but with a lack of emotion, IMO feel like reading the lyrics. Style was so good, with the background vocals and the lead vocals. New romantics, i hear parts with deep voice that IMO don't fit with the song. Sparks Fly good. But i waited for the "i'm captivated by you baby like a firework show". This part was the best. And with background vocals. |

And with background vocals. The pitches of the verses are pretty much below my range, so it's kind of hard to stay in pitch for those parts. This is partly why I only posted snippets of my "Wildest Dreams" cover because its verses are very low in pitch as well. |
