Which song?

I guess SOS. That one has more votes. But Plisken was the one who started the poll. So we'll have to ask him.

yeah its SOS. I actually think I might be able to get the guitarist and bassist of my band to do there parts. So what is left is Vocals and Drums (if possible).

Well in the Musician talk section a guy named adrian9 said he could do drums sequences that sounded really good. So we could ask him to do that.
Then for vocals, Who the hell is able to sing SOS?:P I do have a high voice, but I have the feeling that I will over-sing myself when I try the last chorus!:lol: Maybe I could pull it of with lots and lots of pitch correction!:P

Keyboards are no problem at all. Very easy.

That's a hell of a high-pitched voice; maybe you should ask TK how he did

Auto-Tune will help me!

Thinking a bit of it, wouldn't it be easier to sing "Rebel", for your voice's sake ?

Well, I wasn't really going to sing the song! I want to do it if we really can't find anyone else. And if I compare the songs, I think SOS is easier to do because that is only the last chorus wich is high. And Rebel is high all the time. So we'll see. I hope someone else will be able to sing.

"All the time"? Only at the chorus in my opinion, from "Learn from your past, but better make it fast" to "Hold your head up proud"

Yes and the rest of the chorus is really on the edge of my chest voice. So it's easier for me to sing SOS, because I can do that like TK does, falsetto.

Well it's not being lazy, it's not wanting to destroy my voice by singing on the edge all the time. I'm not a trained singer you know. I can sing Rebel, but I would do it in such a way that I'm certain it's not good for my voice. Maybe if TK posts some tips for me here I can do it better!:P

I was joking, if you are not a professional singer then it's funny to think you could sing Tk's high-pitched songs. Now I guess I don't expect you singing "Find Your Own Voice" !

I can. I can reach the high notes. I've always sung. My whole life. Also did it while I studied at Conservatory. I studied keys but always sang backings and stuff. And recorded some guest vocals for other students.
I love singing. But I'm self-taught. So I don't know if I use the right technique for it. That's the problem.
My highest note I can reach without screeching is the high G. That's the one TK does in the last chorus of Learning to Fly. 'high above the sorrOWS.' So Find You Own Voice shouldn't be a problem since it's lower than LtF. FYOV goes till the E. So I could sing it. But I try to avoid those songs till I have the right technique to sing that high without the risk of ruining my voice completely!

Haha! Well it was just to give you an idea of how I sing. I can sing most stuff from Strato's discography. But I just don't do it that much because I'm afraid I ruin my voice with it.

So that's the why of your seek of a singer . Then you don't count with me, I only sing while talking a shower and my "Learning To Fly" cover realy sucks; ask my brothers if you doubt !
