I know this is the second video I'm posting on MBH this week (sorry Adam)
But this one is very important for me, I've always wanted to sing it but it was annoying and I didn't like at all what I was come up with...This time I've worked the last 2 days on it and this is the result after the take 4
As usual tell me what you think? Thanks a million

I recall stirring up some controversy when I commented on your version of "Help Me", so I'll get straight to the point - I thought this was great! You seem much more comfortable - particularly in the verses.
You also appear more confident singing in English and to my ears your accent sounds much more pleasing in this pop context - I still would like to hear you sing in your mother-tongue though.
Beautiful! I am wondering what you are using for the music? Is it band in a box, or do you have other musicians laying down tracks for you? Very nice! ---------- Jimmy Famous
I remember in previous posts how you have found it hard finding confidence in your voice, but I think that was pretty good.
I too can't stand my singing voice unless I'm alone in the car or shower :o) but I'm trying to learn Help Me at the moment so it helps with my timing if I sing, the harps coming on better that the voice at the moment but I'll keep in trucking.

Good work Christelle! I can feel you are being yourself; a lot of feeling and emotion. That's what moves me. I am starting to sing, and forcing myself, in fact, when out busking. Getting more comfortable (and a little bit better) as time goes on. I was amazed when I went to little villages in Solomon Islands and Fiji; the church choirs from a place with maybe 100 people are fantastic. They can all sing! Like angels! Are they genetically programmed to sing better or is it a matter of practice? I'd like to believe it comes from starting out young and singing every Sunday (or Saturday). Alas, I am not young, but this gives me hopes that I will one day be a good singer...
I liked it. My only suggestion would be to listen to you higher notes again. When you are getting up there (I don't know if you are reaching the top of your range or not) but it hits slightly flat. Everyone has that problem when they are reaching their top end. I struggle with the same thing trying to become a better singer. I sing more down in the bass-baritone region and trying to sing Junior Wells just about kills me without transposition. Only a slight pointer for your very successful effort.
I am a nobody in the music world, so take it for what its worth...

I liked it too. Your harp playing is always good. Your singing has improved as others have already said and I think you did a good job. I think it would be even better once you get comfortable enough to let go. Maybe when your practicing you already try some different types of vocal acrobatics (?). I think that's a good idea. Different colors and tones, vocal ranges, highs and lows...mix it up. Contours. Go louder, go lower, vibrato and all that. Little by little...experiment. You do it well on the harp already....same thing.
Not that I really know what I'm talking about....just a thought...lol. All in all nice job. ---------- Tommy
I'm really touched that you've took some time to listen to this attempt. You've no idea how much your feedback is important. I know it sounds like karaoke and I hate karaoke, but you always have to start somewhere, somehow.
Of course I'll continue to work in the directions that you've given to me, and I thanks everyone for your advices

Yep, nailed it nicely. I never really liked this song before now as it had been played to death, but the depth and feeling in your effort touched me. Your singing voice is unique and powerful, getting better all the time ---------- Lucky Lester
