Reviews for Hallelujah performed by Cayler

[LadyArsenic]

Lovely. =)

Hi Cayler!

Okay, first of all this song has been a classic favorite for me for years now. I have a lot of retrospective attatchments to it, and I've always loved it. I'm pleased to say that you did more than justice for this piece, and did more than just flatter it. But anyway, all that aside, I have to say... You've got soul, brother. =) You can SING. Beautiful tenor voice, good sense of where and where not to use vibrato, and good wholesome raw emotion to boot. You've been doing this for a while, haven't ya? ;D
So from one musician to another, I tip my hat to you and hope the best of luck for you in the future. Good job!

With love,
LadyArsenic <3

Cayler responds:

The way you worded that response, I can tell you are also a musician. :] The thing about my vibrato usage is that it only comes out when I really feel the emotion, so I can't just sing vibrato and hold it like people who have been classically trained. I'm always uncertain about what my vibrato is gonna do. Thanks for the good review and the 10, and all the flattery lol Your comments are what every musician wants to hear. :D

Wow.

This is one of the best versions of Hallelujah I have heard. You have a great voice and the piano sounds beautiful. The only thing that could be redone was in the last verse it sounded like you talked some of the lines(like Vincoid said) if this was intentional sorry! I didn't really hear any crackles until I listened for them so that didn't bother me. Great track dude!

Cayler responds:

The thing about the last verse is that it sounds kinda weird if it's sung slowly according to the music. I hear how it could sound out of place with the rest of the song but I did do it intentionally to make it not sound so awkward and to give it more of an authentic feeling of emotion that goes with the words. Thanks for the nice review and for giving a 10 :D

Holy shit

That was awesome. Something very different from most of the music here on Newgrounds, and I must say I enjoyed it.

You have an awesome voice.

Only things keeping me from giving this a perfect 10 are the cracks (though that's probably not your fault) and the fact that some sentences sound as if they are spoken more than sung because they're too fast.

Got to check out more of your music, see ya.

Cayler responds:

Thanks, it's good to see honesty in criticism. The cracks are a problem and pretty much not fixable. I agree about the words being sung bad here and there, I didn't do a lot of rerecording of the vocals like I usually do. I hope you like the rest of my music. :)

Awesome.

No doubt. An incredible song. Those vocals. Amazing.

Great job man. You really did this song good. - If you understood what I was saying there.

Cayler responds:

yes, I understood. :) Thankyou.

Wow

Amidst all the crap that's been submitted today, I found this. Dude, this is really good. Excellent singing and harmony, was that you playing the piano and bass? If so, you are very talented. If not, you still are good. Aside from a few minor crackles, the cover was pretty much perfect. I even got to hear a verse I haven't heard before. Thanks for putting this up, Cayler!

Cayler responds:

Yessir, that was me playing. I prefer to always have my own productions be completely mine, even if they're a cover of something else. And yeah, I agree about the crackles. The equipment I was using just does that for some reason, and fixing it is almost beyond my control, it's so messed up. It makes me kinda angry, but I deal with it. lol For the verses, I just looked up the lyrics online and found some to use and picked a few out of those that I thought sounded good. Thanks for the review! :)
