One Last Cry. Gotta love this song.
It was hard to sing tho
All those falsetto and adlibs...
I wish someone could tell me how I can train for those techniques.

Please give any suggestions or critiques.

Thanx

Kevin - One Last Cry

===Lyrics===
One Last Cry

My shattered dreams and broken heart
Are mending on the shelf
I saw you holding hands, standing close to someone else
Now I sit all alone wishing all my feeling was gone
I gave my best to you, nothing for me to do
But have one last cry

Chorus:
One last cry, before I leave it all behind
I’ve gotta put you outta my mind this time
Been living a lie
I guess I’m down to my last cry

Cry......

I was here, you were there
Guess we never could agree
While the sun shines on you
I need some love to rain on me
Still I sit all alone, wishing all my feeling was gone
Gotta get over you, nothing for me to do
But have one last cry

Chorus:
One last cry, before I leave it all behind
I’ve gotta put you outta my mind this time
Been living a lie
I know I gotta be strong
But round me life goes on and on and on
And on.....

I’m gonna dry my eyes
Right after I had my
One last cry

Chorus:
One last cry, before I leave it all behind
I’ve gotta put you outta my mind for the very last time
Been living a lie
I guess I’m down
I guess I’m down
I guess I’m down...
To my last cry...

hey there!!!

1st of all, I wanna give u MAJOR props for even attempting thi song. Brian Mcknight songs are always vocally strenuous (if that makes any sense, lol).

I love the original, so i had to listen to ur version.

U change some of the keys slightly during some lines, i'm guessing because some parts are too high, and i don't blame u tho. I could tell some notes are off, but overall you did great. The line "Right after I had my" sounded wayyyyyy on, it was like perfect. hehe. you've got a great voice and this is a pretty darn good rendition of this song. U kinda give it ur own style, but it sounds nice! I really like ur low range too ... the lower notes sound nice w/ ur voice.

I have no suggestions as to work on this song, except to practice. practice doing the scale everyday and within time, u may find that ur range expands. juss keep singing, that's all i can suggest, lol. sorry if i'm not much help.

btw...where did u get the instrumental for this? can u send it to me.

great job,
take care,
Tab ^_~

Actually I've never heard of Brian McKnight's version. The version I have has Justin Timberlake as the artist in the file name, but I'm pretty sure it's not Justin. So I don't know who's the singer in my version. Maybe that's why you thought I changed some keys? Although I did change some parts near the end.

I don't have the real instrumental, I vocal ripped it. so can't help ya there. sorry.

Thanx for listening

[luvjunjin0819]

^ ohh, that's cool. no problem. great job once again!!!!!!!

*edit* I was looking up one last cry....it might be the westlife version, or one of the guys from westlife, cuz i dl the version and it sounds a lot like a guy from westlife. lol. juss thought i'd let u know.

good job with the song.. i like it but one thing i would like more is POWER... i know its really hard to put power/emotion/passion/feeling/LOVE/ hhaa however you wanna say it, into this song, but it would help in the overall impression.. but regardless, your voice is awesome and you did a GREAT job!

[susan]

Is it just me or does it seem slower than usual? I know the Justin file you're talking about.. his name is Justin but it definitely ain't Timberlake. Anywho, it's good hearing your voice again, Kevin.

My advice is a little more emotion rather than power.. mostly in the chorus of "one last cry," I'd show a bit more passion when you're singing that phrase.

But good job. :0)

[fantasiimaker]

You're singing more often lately =] woot.

The low notes are <3. You should sing more English. Maybe some Japanese too. But I'm getting off track XD

I agree with susan, a little more emotion would help. It doesn't sound like you're going to cry XD However, nicely done~ you've the perfect voice for these ballads.

[TANNY*]

You're really good, actually I think I prefer your version over Brian McKnight's because it seems a little more edgier.

But as someone above had mensioned, it could've been better if you place more emotions in the chorus.

Anyhoo...Good Job, keep it up!

[VitaDolce*]

I like your version ...
It made me cry ... I'm serious it did made me cry ....
I don't know why ... maybe I remembered someone from the past ....
anyway ...... sing more ... english songs ...


Your voice is great.

[oksusu]

I love all these new clips your doing. Sing more. You need to make up for all the times you disappeared on us.

[havoc11]

whats funny is just yesterday i was singing this song and i look in soompi..and there u are

u are singing =D


haha

[`theQUEEN]

hello.

i'll be honest here.

1. you should enunciate more when singing.
2. I liked your voice.
3. I'll like it better if your voice was a bit stronger though when singing this song.
4. Your voice is really soothing
5. I liked it that you actually put some emotions when singing this song.

[vannushka]

OMG I LOVE THIS SONG! you should listen to teh brian mcknight version..to see that this song is so beautiful because of the lyrics and because of the emotions involved

i think you did a great job but this song requires a lot of emotion + strong vocals...plus it's very high but this is brian mcknight we're talking about haha

i havne't heard any other clips of yours..but i am really impressed by this one..jsut work on your range!

[NAN]

It's a hard song. Good job Kevin!

[hulie-oh]

I don't know what these repliers are talking about. You did a great job with your rendition. Your voice is very sexy (a guy who can sing is ALWAYS sexy ), your falsetto is on the spot, and your talent is spectacular for a soompier.

So what if Brian McKnight's version is "stronger." Just because he's the original artist, people assume that his way is the "correct" way, when really, there isn't a correct way to sing any song... as long as it follows the rules of good singing.

Honestly, you're one of the better guys on soompi, if not the best that I've heard. Good job and keep it up!

[lea_rocks]

AWWW.....YOU SOUND GOOD!!
^^ AWW...IT'S CUTE!! I LOVED IT!!

[talula]

i really liked it.

good job!!

[eliteninja]

Is it just me or does it seem slower than usual? I know the Justin file you're talking about.. his name is Justin but it definitely ain't Timberlake.

lol, i think you guys might have the N-Synce version, cause that`s what it`s called on my computer & the whole song seems to be song by JC. ANYWAYS,

good job, your voice was really soothing.

[nahnsaemi]

it was okay.
i think it's cause my guy firneds are just really good singers. haha. you have a nice clear voice... =)

[*nie_nie*]

I LOVE this song! I thought you did pretty good.
I think that you need a bit more emotion in it though.
I really like your voice too!
Nice job!
