Ok, so here is the new version, it's with a piano. I'm proud of it.....the songs high parts are hard though. So i know what to practice in the future....but this is just the beginning. It's a beautiful song, and i hope you like it and can give me some constructive criticism....I hope i'm not to breathy in it, because i wanted to make it sound soft, lullaby-ish, and sad. I hope i sang it with enough emotion. Well, enjoy!!!!

nice job with making it sound soft and "lullaby-ish" I enjoyed listening to it...yeah those high notes are really hard to sing, I'm not really sure what I could recommend for you to work on those notes since you're singing so soft, I'll let the other members that know what they're talking about reply haha...

btw cute picture in your signature..what's that from??

[appledapple]

it's absolutely lovely

[Geministar8806]

Thank you guys so much hehehe....Oh my siggy is from the day DBSK was on star king. There was a mini DBSK that came out and performed and Xiah kissed his little miniature. You can find this part of the show on Youtube. I loved it lol.

Yea, those high parts are hard, but with practice, i'll try to make it perfect.

I couldn't post my whole comment at Youtube, it was being a pinkberry to me, so I shall post my whole comment here instead.

Let's start. First off, I don't like the pose you pulled in your picture.It was provocative, revealing and it makes it harder to focus on your voice instead of your cleavage. This isn't the sort of picture you wanna put up when you're singing a sad song such as Insa. Secondly, I know it's hard for a female to sing a male's song so I'll give credit for that. However, you have a long way to go. Your voice could not pull off a song that has a low tone to it...It was pitchy and your voice sounded shaky as if you're trying to force some control on to it. The piano was good though.Pronounciation is not that great but understandable since you're not Korean. Your voice is too weak to carry off this song. And I even paused halfway cos I couldn't bear it anymore. I hope being a singer in Korea isn't your ambition because it seems to me, you're not fit to be a singer anywhere.Just having a nice tone to your voice doesn't mean you can sing. I am sorry but this is as honest as it gets.

[MoMo_85]

your voice is very cute and i can feel the emotion you put in. your pronounciation i think is quite good, you�re not korean. so thumb ups for that ^^. i don�t care for the photo, not too revealing. but the other things about singing i have to agree to wasabi. but you have potential ^^

[toomuchsmiling]

It did sound breathy and it was lullaby-like. I don't know anything about the language korean..except a few words but your korean sounded REALLY well! At least from the parts I had heard. Do u know korean? and your a fan of DBSK. LOVE YA!

Ok....I appreciate what you said. I read you comment on my youtube page and was thankful for it. I love constructive criticism, that's the only way you can learn to improve. So that' what i'm going to take it as. But you were seriously rude. You may not have meant to sound like that, but you were. I'm not mad or anything but for you to basically say that i'm not fit anywhere isn't something you should tell someone about a passion of theirs. I have been singing since i was little and have had nothing but good feedback and bad. But when i hear or i'm told bad comments, they aren't rude like your last two sentences. I'm not korean, so my pronunciation is blah, and this being a song that I sung only 3 times (and the second song i've sang since my family incident), i have no choice but to get better. I wanted to see how people react to it, learn from it, so i can rerecord and do it better. I hear what you are saying, it wasn't my best. I know it wasn't (to me, i felt it was kind of plain and boring in a way), i can tell you exactly where I screwed up. But i know myself, and i know i'll get better.

I stopped singing a while back because of a family situation. My passion died. I just found it again through this song, and i will make it and sing it better than anyone i know b/c this song means a lot to me. I will make it as a singer if WANT it and WORK HARD for it. So, I hope your passion for something is as great as mine, because i'll definately show you lol. And I hope when i'm at my best lol, you can sing better than me.

So i hope for other people, you aren't as negative as you were to me. But comments like yours will only make me stronger as a singer, and i hope for other people you were like this to, they become stronger also. So thank you.

Oh and about the picture....i'm sorry if it came off like that to you. But what can i do lol. I'm black, not amish.....lol hehehehehe

I'll leave the rest of your post alone because it's a matter of opinion but...you're admitting you took the time to post this twice? Just to make sure you got the most scathing parts in? Um...that's all I have to say.

[YELL;OH]

i understand that you wanted this to have a lullaby-ish tone to it, but i think you went slightly overboard with the whole sounding-breathy thing. also, it's clear that the higher notes are a bit of a struggle. you DO reach them, but you need to work on holding them out without running out of air [which is what it sounds like].

BUT i am rather amazed at your pronunciation.
good job & keep working hard ^^

[fwnc_b!]

I like the starting part, your pronunciation was quite good. When you got to the chorus, it felt like you were out of breath, but I like the part where you ended with un myung. Lee Yeon Hee didn't pull that off, you did, I like it. But I admire for the fact that you didn't try too hard to imitate the original song, you did some key changes, although I didn't really like the high pitch. It was a good effort..

The picture.. umm.. well, it's distractive.lol. But I was doing other stuff while I hear the song, so, it didn't really affect me.. hehe....

The thing is, it is only an opinion of mine..You can either brush it aside or take it seriously. It's true when I say I find it hard to give critisicms without sounding rude. I mean, how do you exactly do that? I may sound really harsh when I say you're unfit to be a singer, but again it's an opinion of mine. Other people say opposite things but I won't go and tell them they're wrong or something. I must admit I have high standards when it comes to judging. No, I am not a Simon Cowell wannabe but the thing is, I don't see why should I sugar coat my words and all that.

Based on my point of view, I am telling you the truth and only the truth. For an aspiring singer, you really have a very long way to go. I am not going to lie and say your voice sounds nice because to me it doesn't. It's better for someone to tell you this now than you go join some competition such as American Idol which such high hopes and dreams but only to come out dissapointed.

I am not a negative person. I don't pick out flaws in everyone atleast not without a reason. You posted your video here to be judged and I did what you asked. If you're good, I'll say it. If you're not, I'll say it. What you ask is what you get, okay? I think to be in this industry is very tough, but if you really want it. Fine, then go for it. And one more thing, why bother posting up a video of bad singing like you yourself said? It is useless and pointless to do that. Sing as if your life depended on it. You should've put up a better effort if you were really serious about this.

About the picture, you know what whatever. It's the singing that really counts.

I'll leave the rest of your post alone because it's a matter of opinion but...you're admitting you took the time to post this twice? Just to make sure you got the most scathing parts in? Um...that's all I have to say.

Haha, what's wrong with you? I couldn't post the whole comment up at Youtube. I don't give half baked response. And what I said wasn't scathing, it was honesty. If you have anymore questions, PM me. I don't want to flood this thread arguing because I respect what the topic starter asked for in the first place.

Hey guys! Yea i can totally hear that too....hitting that high part was probably the hardest part of the song, and i also think the breathy part was a little bit to much, after listening to it for the thousandth time hehehe....I'm going to fix that. I have a lot of practice to do with that high part hehehehe, but i'll get it. I'm determined. I'll also change my picture. Didn't mean for it to be as distracting as it is lol.....Gotta simmer down the power of the boobs hehehe lol j/k. Thanks for your comments. I'll work harder in the next one!!!
