Daite Senorita (Tempo up ver.)

[ICD]

Yello everyone Haven't posted anything in absolutely AGES. This was recorded in August and I only just got round to mixing it.

I am aware of the flat notes, wavering issue (er actually undeveloped and uncontrolled vibrato T_T) and some messed up lyrics - sorry about that! It was done one-shot and finding time to re-do it is simply impossible.

Anyway. This is much faster than the original version. (Coz I had to pitch it up and might as well sped it up wohoo!) I personally think it sounds better this way . And hopefully I sang it with more energy than Yamapi ever had (?!).




Enjoy

The writer of this sentence is given a poo card for inscribing such lies on a live thread, aka - YOU FAIL >O~!



I'm surprised you have the Daite Senorita PV o_O Err...part of the PV...I don't even have it. "'Whoa wth it sounds so weird sped up!! LOLOL'" It does; and it really sounds weird at the instrumental parts...it isn't as apparent with the vocals.

The "senorita" bothered me because it was inconsistent. I wouldn't mind so much if you mispronunced it the same way each time, but sometimes you said "senoriTAW" and sometimes it was like "senoriTUH" whereas it has a sort of "senoritAH" with the a sounding very "wide." (...but I'm just being a picky old hag. You can ignore this bit :p)

This sounds very painful to you ;__; especially the verses...and it kills me to listen to you do this to yourself *ded* You can hit a fair amount of the notes, but there's a couple that are just barely in your range and you're pushing too hard to hit them. I think practice would've been good before you recorded this seriously so it'd sound more pleasant throughout >.<

I'm probably being biased here, but I find this more of an "angry" sound-ing song...and it's from the anger [in the chorus] comes the "energy"...sort of. And the chorus is more seductive (I don't like that word D:...) So, I think more interpretation towards the feelings of the song would've been better >.> (I feel you do lose some energy here and there though, and there could be more...) I think the interpretation of the song is even more important because it's in a male's point of view. (The title translates to "Hold me, lady!" And there are references to having a girlfriend and stuff...)



Please don't crazy emo over my critique D:... I think this was just a smaller display of your singing abilities, and just not your best work/choice of song. And I'm partially psycho/picky because this is a YamaPi song...>.>...



EDIT 2:
...YOU DID THIS ONE-SHOT!?

You. Get on MSN more often.

... Critique/Comment will come after I finish my essay. XD;

HEEY THIS IS THE GORIRAH MAHN SONG :O... Was my initial reaction. ...
Anyway!
Goodness, you went pretty low into your register! Hmm... I didn't really catch onto the "painful" part that Ying was talking about, but it does sounds like you had a bit of trouble reaching those lower notes. D: ... You got to them, but they were definitely weaker than all your other notes, though that's understandable! ... I hate low notes, don't you? D: ..
I liked your choruses~! >D You were really strong with them! ...
The only thing I really caught was your struggle with the lower notes... D: ... Your energy and everything else sounded fine to me, I'm sorry my critique isn't as full as Ying's... XD;;...
I really liked your rendition though~! ...

ICD!!!!! WHOA! xDD Where have you been? =O Geez, nice of you to FINALLY show up around here!!! D< Haha you know I'm jk =P I know you must've been busy with a lot of things lately, so I'm glad that you had the time to mix something =) Don't forget to relax a little bit, ne?

RESERVE-desuuuuuu! Haha, sorry. I have to get to sleep! I'll be back =)

EDITOOO! (yeah...I slept for 2 whole days >_>. Sorry! D

Yo! Let's see, to start off, I just want to let you know that I haven't heard the original song...so my critique won't be as helpful (...if helpful at all) as Ying's or Mel's. So, I apologize >_< Anyways...

AWESOME ENERGY! 8D That really stood out to me in this recording =) That's what I love about your singing xD Haha, and you still have some energy left to sing this even though you're really busy? =O Wow! You should be proud of yourself! xD *gives ICD a pat on the back* And by listening to the instrumentals, it seems like this was a really fast-paced song (AND you increased the speed? Whoa xD). Oh, and on that note, I was just wondering...why DID you increase the speed of the song...? I think you said something about pitching up the song...?

Hmm, but as Ying and Mel mentioned before me, you struggled with those lower notes =/ Especially the ones at the beginning of each verse... (at the beginning and around 1:23). And I agree with Ying and Mel that you might be pushing yourself to hard reach those notes. But don't be discouraged! The good thing is that you yourself recognized this problem, and it's a shame that you didn't have some free time to re-record D: Whenever you have some time, just work on that lower LOWER range xD. Or maybe you can try some songs that are a bit higher in range? Just a suggestion =)

OMG THIS WAS A ONESHOT??? =O Whoa! That's just awesome! Haha, I wouldn't EVER attempt a fast song like this xD. So good work for taking a chance at it =) And props to you for getting most of the lyrics down (gah, I haven't heard the original so...I don't know what the lyrics are supposed to be! *shot*) Haha, anyways, to my ears, I heard japanese throughout the entire song xDD. I didn't hear you stumble, so great job with improvising the lyrics...? Hahaha xD

We miss youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! Come back to us! *dramatic pose* xD

[ICD]

Starry:: Haha I was more or less expecting what you were saying X"D Shall come back to respond real soon! Thanks for taking the time to type up such long and useful crits again ;0; Very much appreciated!

Crimmy:: I missed you so much too ;.;... Moooo <333

Ciel:: Yay <3 I look forward to your crits And thanks for your kindness ^_^

[CKMel]

:X... I put it up.


D: You should get on more often. ;O;

I [finally] edited my post! Sorry for the delay ICD! D:

(mini bump action!)

Starry:: Thanks for your detailed critique I really appreciate it! However.. I am struggling to understand what you mean by me sounding 'painful'. I personally honestly find high notes much more painful to get up to. My throat sometimes hurts when I go high. But when I go low, I am actually very comfortable even though sometimes the notes are a tad TOO low and it sounds as though I am struggling a lot. In fact.. this song's low notes were pretty easy to hit but it just sort of made me sound like I was struggling so much :X I am sorry if that made it sound unpleasant though ;0; I dunno.. I always prefer to go very very low than high. Thanks for pointing out the energy bit too, that was really helpful I do know that it's about him messing about with a lady but I didn't get to grisp with the sort of energy I needed to be delivering XD And the senorita thing too >< I dunno.. I thought that I always said SENORI TAH XD Apparently not then ;P Thanks a load again <333 And getting on MSN has proven to be difficult because I have got an insane amount of workload. Normal people do 4 AS's and I am doing 6 and I have 3 instruments and like 6 million extra curricular activities T_T I think i am draining myself too much. I don't get much time to relax during weekends either T_T I really miss talking to you guys though T^T

Crimmy:: Haha I did have trouble hitting those notes. But the recording made me sound that I was struggling a lot.. in fact I really wasn't X"D Thanks for your support though XD And yearh Yamapooo = GORILLA XDDDDDDDDDDDDD hahahaha hope life's been good for you I miss ya so much too ;0; I miss our duets most X"D ahahaha

Ciel:: Ciel <333 Omigosh you are sooo nice to me ;0; Thanks so much for dropping comments here and on YT T_T It means a lot to me that someone cares hehe <3 Indeed life's been mad. I knew that this year would be insane but I didn't expect THIS amount of workload coming ;_; I'm relieved that I have still got the energy thing in my singing.. I got worried that it would run away or sth X"D This song was originally slow. But when I pitched it up using Adobe Audition its speed increased and I thought it sounded cool. And yearh the low notes are indeeed very low x_X But I didn't want to pitch it up any further so I just went for them! And the lower range is so much harder to expand than the higher range so T_T moo but I will work harder desu! Hehehe thanks for being so supportive once again.. I miss talking to you too T.T.. <333


OMAGAH I AM STILL SO LONG-WINDED. NEED TO WORK NOW!
