Members m26uk Posted July 23, 2011 Author Members Share Posted July 23, 2011 There's nothing wrong doing covers....*but* you will encounter people (like myself) that want you to dig deeper within yourself and send you a concise message that you've mastered Michael Jackson's singing..and many will feel that it's time to sing your own material, seriously. There is nothing (from a fan's standpoint) for you to do/prove when singing M.J covers -in my opinion- I've not heard the original so I can't say for certain but it appears that you do copy his voice (note the word appears) and other words I used like "seemingly" because I'm not attacking you nor calling you a liar....but the similarities are just too close for comfort. (not a negative) I can do an impression of M.J but not as good as you, which is to say I have to force my voice to sound like him...whereas you naturally share the same tonality as M.J.s' Usually people that "sound" similar don't get much flack because the differences are just so apparent...but in your case there really aren't any!!! That's saying a lot! Your growl sounds like his too. Anyway you should never take it personal when anyone says you are copying a singer's bread and butter...but instead have the foresight to understand that until you really start singing your own material it's an apples to oranges comparison with respect to your voice sounding like * or sounding like *you* -because of the likeness you share with * hey man I hope my previous reply did'nt come across as me taking it in a real bad way, I really appreciate your comments, and I do see what you are saying, and respect what you are saying to... I hope I can do some original stuff and bring it to this forum. anyway thanks again! and thanks for watching my vid.. I do respect your feedback..

I appreciate the kind words and after all the name of the game is really to grow and develop as an artist which, I think you've done brilliantly and have come a long way since the first time I heard your tracks and videos.
