I haven't listened to them much yet but from what I heard, you fail to disappoint me yet again! :lol:

To offer some critique, I listened to "Things Change" and I have a quick tip for you since you made the same little boo-boo every time:

During the chorus "All at Once things change"
"at" and "things" are different notes.  You tended to sing them as though they were the same pitch.  I'm not sure how much music theory you have but I'll start with the quick and technical explaination.  If it's too confusing, read down some more:

"All" is a high Bb (B-flat) note:
"at" is the Eb (E-flat) below that:
"once" is back to the Bb
"Things" is a D (a half-step Below the Eb above)
"Change" is a C below that D,
as seen in the image below:


If that's too confusing, just remember to leave a little more room to go down from "at". B) "Things" is a little bit lower.  If you can get this worked out, your chorus will sound amazing!  Just sing the word "at" (or the 2nd syllable of the chorus) slightly higher than you have been and you'll go from very good to awesome! :D  You have "Things" in the right place, you just need to bump that 2nd syllable up a half-step. B)
(If you're still lost, feel free to ask! :yes )

But if you sing this part of the song like the notes are telling it, it¥s right.

Here is the link for the song No one has to be alone, singing by me.

I¥m sorry, because that¥s only my voice without the background music. That means, too, that there alre two breaks in the song.

So the 1st and last measures aren't written right, time-wise :p

Exactly, I was just too lazy to write in the time signature and note lengths to make it all work. :P:

sry, but that¥s not correct. In the first part four times, in the second, too, but in the third only three.

The last note must be three times long

Why?  There is a quarter rest taking up the last beat of the 3rd measure.  It all adds up to 4. :p

Your singing is quite good.  Is it a untrained or trained (meaning you don't or do take vocal lessons)?

its untrained. Ive never taken any professional...or really even unprofessional lessons. I was in kids choir but there were never really any lessons involved just learning and memorizing songs to sing.
