I can't quite believe the wonderful things you guys have said about my "hero" song, I nearly cried!   Many of you have requested that I upload another song for you. I don't have the capability to record another song at the moment (belive me I have lots of backing tracks I would love to put to good use!   ) so this is another one of my tracks from my fun time in the studio!  

This one is my take on Tina Turners "River Deep, Mountain High" I did my best to do it justice, but it's not an easy song to sing and I'm a bit embarrased about my improvs - they didn't turn out quite the way I'd hoped!   But I did my best!

Download Here

Once again, I'm thrilled with all your comments before, I just hope I can impress you as much with this. Thank you!  

Love Lisa

    I love it!!!!

[artekoublier]

Hey there, you commented on one of mine, and thanks for that. I was able to download Your song and I nearly fainted. You have an incredible voice, you draw some lines on and dont copy other's styles and alot of people do. I loved this version.
But...one thing, well a few...you were struggling a bit with the high notes, and I noticed you went an octave lower, i usualy try to do it the way celine does it, but not to copy her. you were struggling a bit, but overall I loved the version. You sound like Kelly Clarkson a tiny bit, hope you ain't offended, coz I really like her. I would love to hear more of your stuff. btw what age are you? and remember for the higher notes that you struggle with use your diaphragm.
any way loved it, keep it up!  

[leenylover]

Ermm, thanks lol!   The song probably was in a different key to Celine's version, but that's because it was the backing track for Tina Turners Version of the song - not sure if they use the same key. I've never had a good range, I wanted to take lessons, but could never afford it. I'm thirty now, so there's not much point. I try not to sound like other people when I sing, I certainly would never try to sound like Celine, I could never pull that off!   But to be honest I don't want to. I think it's important to sing the way you feel comfortable not to try and sound like someone else, other wise it just sounds forced and unnatural, IMO.

Thanks for your comments anyway.

Lisa, your voice rocks   you sung it in a differently which is a +  I think your voice fits dance/disco music Keep them coming  

[Lisi_Dion]

omg your voice is amazing it's also made very very professional...in a studio right? so it'S easy there to sound good because there are so many technical opportunities to make your voice perfectly sound. so it will be really interesting if you record yourself live where the quality is not so good. so we can see if your voice is really sooo good as in the studio.

Be extremely careful with your breathing and make sure you have lessons or furhter vocal training because you're forcing your voice and not letting it come naturally

[raluca]

i really love it!    you are very good singer! keep on the good work!

I don't agree, I think here we can hear her voice just as it is. When you record yourself with cheap microphones and not in a studio, you get a sample of your voice that doesn't match to the real sound of the voice.

And after reading Lisa had no singing lessons.... wow! Hope I could sing like this with no training!

[leenylover]

  Thanks for the comments guys, It's really cool to hear such nice things! So I have a couple of replies  

To C Records, don't take this too seriously,   I recorded the cd for fun, I only entered a local karaoke competition and was offered the chance to put some songs on cd, so I did. I realise I'm not an amazing singer - I don't kid myself there! lol! But this is just for fun, I'm not going to tire my voice out - I only sing in the shower these days! lol! But thanks for the tips, I'm sure other people here who want to make a career in singing will find this useful.

Lisi, I really didn't have any special effects put on my voice, but what the studio allowed me to do was get a clear recording with good sound levels and no background noise. So you can really hear my voice! In fact I could probably get away with sounding bad if I was recording at home as the sound is not so clear! lol! I'm glad you think it sounded good though!  

Seahawk, nope, I didn't have any singing lessons, but ever since I can remember I have been singing! There are pictures of me as a toddler, holding a hairbrush to my mouth and pretending to be on top pf the pops!   The only trouble is, I've never been as good as I wanted to be. I wish I had been able to take singing lessons, I would have had the confidence to push myself and go professional! I guess that's going to be my one big "if only"

But thanks guys, you're too kind! You've heard my version of hero, and my river deep mountain high, I have one other song from my cd, I'll upload it later, I think you'll be surprised!

Sorry, it's just my job. I run a record label, Charlemagne Records and it's what i do for a living (Also I was a high school music teacher prior to this so i tend to be very technical). If anyone wants any help with vocal training etc. just pm

I loved it Lisa! You're great!

You have an amazing talent and voice, and you can be a professional.
I always loved to sing, but before my singing lessons..... I was a complete disaster. Even now I'm not good, but now there is an abyss between my voice before and after the training.

Please, upload the last song!!! Can't wait to hear it!

[shishi]

I adore really what you do, you have much talent!!!  

for was this song it also in studio? because the sound is really very good!

I wanted to know if you had already taken courses of song?

In any case cheer, me I adore to sing and I appreciate to hear beautiful voices!     the only defect is has the end in the rise (2min59) but it is really not large thing!  

kisses  

sorry for my english

  thank you so much for the compliment! I really enjoyed singing this song, so I'm glad you like it too! The backing track is the one in the style of Tina Turner, slightly different to Celine's version. It's a bit edgier, a bit more rock and roll! lol!

I uploaded it for you Here!  

Hope that helps!

Have you ever sang in front of an audience??
And what is your job? Has something to do with music?
ok enough questions......

Wow, your voice is so crystal clear! Although it may not be as powerful as mariah's, the clarity and emotions that your voice possesses is more than enough to make up for the lack of dynamic factor in your voice. Great job! But I cannot seem to download your rendition of ' River deep, mountain high', can you upload it somewhere else? It would be very much appreciated.

[Michael]

  this song is very good for your voice, it makes good

[ForeveraCelineFreak]

I think you have an AMAZING voice and did an AMAZING job singing this song! I loved it! It wasn't like Celine's but in it's own way, it was just as good! Thank you for sharing it with us. I really, really enjoyed it!

[jodie19]

OMG!!!      Your voice is superbe.. I love your voice     and i love your version of this song   

Excellent Job!

[Ronny83]

I think you did a great job. I like your arabesque. Maybe you should work on how to keep the note and do not break it. BTW, I think you did an amazing job on this song.

Oh, I didn't know that. Congrats. You're so young and you have a label and you were a high school teacher, too. Impressive.

What kind of music does your record label produce?



I produced 4 dance tracks, released in the past years. It could be interesting to know what do you think about dance music. But maybe it's better you reply to me via PM.
