A ponder

Well, it's almost a year on Youtube now, and I've been thinking about what I've achieved so far. In my opinion, not very much. In relation to lots of others, the Youtube progress is probably quite good, but not as far as my aspirations are concerned. I'm only about 250 subscribers outside the top 100 UK musicians of all time. That appears to be great, but it's not supported me financially at all.

Sometime last year, I got a request from a Youtube friend, to have a go at "America" by "Neil Diamond". It took a while to work through the other tunes in my request list, but I finally made it :)

Here is the 2nd of the 2 Neil numbers in sequence. This was another of his big hits, and my video of this has done pretty well. It's had about double the viewings of the previous video.

This is a number that was played in a fantastic film by the name of "Pulp fiction". The act that did a version of the song was called Urge Overkill. It was the first time I had heard the song, and I was very surprised to discover that it was written and performed originally by Neil Diamond.

I kept on getting more requests, so it was time for Neil Diamond again. A good chunk of those songs on the request list were for Neil Diamond songs, and from all of those I chose to do Beautiful noise. Up until this post, this song had had over 750 viewings.

A third one from Neil

A good few people were telling me that my vocal tone was quite similar to Neil Diamonds, and were eager to hear more, so I decided to do another one of his. This was the third on of his I recorded on Youtube. I was more pleased with this one myself, because of the improvement in my sound setup. This is again, one of the most liked songs by Neil Diamond fans. It's got some pretty low notes, but I didn't seem to have any problems with that.

This was the final video where my sound setup was of a poor quality. So this one is quiet, like the others.

Many people have told me that my voice sounds like another artist they know, and one of those artists is Neil Diamond. There are similarities in my tone. I don't go out of my way to try ansd sound like anyone else but myself.
