THE GLOBAL WINGS THREAD

audi:
Ollie, I think you're a natural baritone. Singing tenor parts is tough.
No, I'm not a natural baritone. That's tough but it doesn't hurt my voice, so that's "my key" (not tenor, but over-tenor or whatever the name...). But if do record something in the Elvis (baritone or so) key with high notes then my voice is hurted... For instance, if I sing Twist and Shout in Lennon's key... hurt to my voice. If I sing this in this key no hurt, of the mads scream of Paul in Hey Jude. When I did that Aloha concert 16 minute medley my voice cracked at every Elvis high note and it was meant to be (and they were much shorter and less higher than these ones...)... For instance I could never sing like that if I had choosen a lower key... not even with the original key... When I sing high in my Elvis duet with voice starts sounding kind of darkened and more darkened (like If I smoked), till my voice sounds like I had smoked all my life or fades away or breaks. Like in Suspicious Minds and If I can dream... It took me long to find where the break of my voice was but now I know. For instance Paul's famous break is on G. And Elvis one was on E. And Freddie in F sharp. That's why when Paul sings old time rock and roll where the same notes is repeated over and over he's always singing in G (like Party that starts with lots of Gs...) and higher... And Elvis did that with E, like in Tiger Man , when I started listening Elvis repeating loud the same note I though "that must be a E" and it really is... When I did If I can dream and Suspicious Minds, if you pay attention... I have no vibrato at all, that's a sign I'm doing it wrong (vibrato is the first thing that goes away when you're hurting your voice), I got my key wrong, etc If you're "respecting" your break vibrato always remains. Like happened always with Elvis that was very aware of that, so always with vibrato and virtually ending the concert with such a good voice as the start.

[NESSUN DORMA[/color">](www.oliversanz.com/nessundorma.mp3]<span style=) If it doesn't belong here, I'll take it away...
I like to think we can post anything on this thread here...so I'll agree with Audi, don't take it away.
it remains still then... Well, after doing that I searched for similar things... and some are very peculiar... Manowar-Nessun Dorma (live... in Italy... they had the balls of doing in it Italy...), got to love this one...
Aretha Franklin-Nessun Dorma (live on the Grammies), Pavarotti had a sore throat and had to perform that night the song... 22 minutes before he called Aretha Franklin and ask her to do it instead of him... in Pavarotti's key as was prepared... and she did... doing things for "her voice", of course.. this is Ian Gilliam from Deep Purple doing it with Pavarotti -

Here is the newest headless video.
Different vocals (and guitar, too) than the mp3 I posted a while ago. I think I like this recording better than the last one, despite the many pops and noises in the record. I feel the vocals are better!at the start of it I though it was gonna be "Crazy Little Thing Called Love"

Great....: I just broke a string on my guitar, and I don't have spare steel strings lying around....only nylon strings. : So I'll have to go to the music shop one of these days. I'm so annoyed! :
-
Remember the Meat Free Monday thing? Paul now (Dec 3rd) is gonna do a speech in the European parliament about it. BTW, no-one submitted any song after I posted mine. So in the end, only 4 or 5 songs were submitted for the thing.

Yes, in BRUSSELS of all places...I wonder if I have to go camp out outside the parliament building....I'm probably not allowed to even hang around there.

yes, I already broke ac guitar strings when I was 4... that's why I switched to keyboards, that are harder to break

Hey, Ollie. I should have something for ya' soon.

Hey, I'm done with all these things of sounding like a pro, or sounding like if it was for the radio, like this or that or like what... (it's great to know the basics, though) I can't "work" like that... I'll sound the way I like it more. Just like when I write songs, I just write and keep the melody I like more, I can not be thinking about what others do or like... I would be writing this then...
I say, you (you!), get off of my cloud.... C'mon! Ash Taylor and Vanessa Amorosi-Get off of my cloud (live)(if you don't know them, you should :wink you'll have to skip half of the video because of the game... (that may be the coolest TV show ever...) -

You're right about the lyric. It's heavy. Another lush production!

By the way, this is one of my favourite songs right now...I knew about it for a good while but I never bothered to find out who sang it..until I heard it again a few weeks ago and I just had to know! "Everything" by Lifehouse....god this song is sooooo beautiful! ops: The way it starts, and then past the middle, bam! GORGEOUS!
If anyone here ever feels the need to try and cover it...*cough* -

Sorry, B. Not a YT member. I'm sure it's marvy, though.
