Your singing sounds so horrific in this song it's painful. Like, it's wobbly at some parts, and your rhythm is painfully wrong along with the extension of some syllables for no reason, and the just plain out of tune singing makes my ears vomit. You simply don't hit half of the notes right and it makes me cringe.

Mraz sings the song lightly, and you like, give this just untalented undertone to your already awful singing plus the fact that you missed half of the notes so it just sounded like a drunk Dave Matthews + the Panic at the Disco guy combined and it was just...not pleasant to listen to.

Combined with the completely unredeemable lyricism, the guitar work wasn't really anything. You're not a horrible guitarist, but you're certainly an amateur. You play as if you're sitting around a campfire half drunk with your friends, and not like you're a serious musician. I'd be able to understand that if you weren't an actual musician, but you're such a blowhard about it and submit your dedications to your girlfriend, and post the lyrics for no reason as if we can't hear them...it's obvious that you're pretty confident in your "ability", and so that is why I can't forgive you for this god awful cover.

In short, this cover sounds like shit. You miss half the notes, and your guitarwork is amateur at best.

"you sound like the guy from panic at the disco"

You sound like the lead singer of Panic at the Disco. I HATE the lead singer of Panic at the Disco.

Your singing isn't necessarily awful, but you have absolutely no range and definitely don't have a singing voice. Your guitar work is simply mediocre, and you sound like you are some kind of subtly egotistical musician who won't say it, but you THINK you're an AMAZING musician who can play any instrument you try and are a fantastic singer. I know this, because you posted a recording of an interview on a radio station you had as a fucking MUSIC TRACK on your myspace and you think your band is the best thing since sliced bread.

This isn't about your god awful band though, it's about this specific submission.
Your vocal range is nonexistant. Every single thing you sing sounds exactly the same unless you slap an autotune over it. You also can't really sing at all, I heard iffy parts and parts that sounded just awful. You sound as if you've got a lot of confidence but not a lot of talent, someone who's a blowhard about their music but can't actually do it as well as they believe. Through your music solely I can tell your entire personality, and yours is one I don't like. As a musician myself, your music is stale, boring, and exactly the same.

To improve, either stop making music, or go mute.

"Autotune + Bad singing + HORRIFIC SONG"

submission: 21 Guns

Okay, I can respect a cover because I play plenty. What I can't respect is covering a god awful song, playing some repetitive guitar riff and using an autotune to substitute the fact that you can't actually song.

Autotune = Faked talent, and 99% of the time when it's used its used horribly, wrong, and only as a support for your god awful voice.

Your guitar work and percussion were stale, and sounded like they took as much energy and talent as I could produce taking a wet shit on a cucumber.

The voice sounded in and out, at times it was louder than others, but that could be the work of the fucking AWFUL autotune that just completely made the song absolutely unlistenable.

In all it's a cover of an already horrible song, one that makes an awful song sound about 20 times as awful as it was.

I didn't think it could get worse, but you damn sure proved it could. Good job, man.

To improve, you COULD stop making music. Forever.
