Tough singer. I had to do "When You Love a Woman" and a few other Adams tunes for a wedding years ago. I've been begging them for the video so I could post it.

Now, listening to the tune, I hear some wavering in your voice like on words like, "she's" proving you need more support. Song isn't out of your range, but your mind is telling you it is, especially on the chorus. I'd tighten up those little licks he does on words like "you" and add more sass, maybe even a little breath to get that Adams feel to have that husky tone without trying to sound like him;)

I'm proud of you for posting, that's what this is all about;)

Thanks for the reply Jaime.

Yeah i realize stylistically i am not near him yet, I deliberately backed off breath as i tend to over push breath in that register and end up pulling chest.
I will work more on support as you suggested. "She" happens to fall on an e4 in that key which is smack bang in the middle of my break so it often gives me trouble.
One issue i have sometimes is losing placement in the soft palate when i increase breath pressure or energy for a chorus. I find it harder at louder volumes to keep it away from my throat.
I was not that impressed with this recording but to be fair i generally sing more laid back or groovy stuff. But i would like to have as many vocal tools in my kit to sing as many different styles as i can effectively.


More critiques/suggestions welcome...happy to learn from you awesome people!

Been working on support and using more breath. Seeing improvement :) Just recorded the song again using my phone and it was tons better! Also recorded "rosanna" by toto, I do a minor third down from the original but it still has sits around F#4-A4 in some parts. Getting better though.

I realized i was not using much support at all, I guess i was underestimating its need. Learnt my lesson!
Thanks for the input Jaime!
