Hey, I recorded these covers of "Rude Boy" and "Halo" and thought you might like to check them out. Let me know what you think!

Halo: http://soundcloud.com/julianvelasquez/halo-beyonce-cover

Rude Boy: http://soundcloud.com/julianvelasquez/rude-boy-rihanna-cover

I used autotune on these, but if you want something without autotune listen to my version of "If I Were A Boy" on YouTube from a couple years ago (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3Oliaht0Rw)

i didnt listen to halo, but rude boy is all autotune.... i cant tell if you can sing or not... but the use of autotune would lead me to believe you cant... sorry, just bein honest.

the use of autotune on these is terrible. your accent doesn't help either.

Just because someone uses AutoTune doesn't mean they can't sing... That's a huge misconception. I have a non-autotune version of "If I Were A Boy" from a while ago if you'd like to listen to that instead. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3Oliaht0Rw

I'm not sure what accent you think you heard.... There's no autotune on this one though: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3Oliaht0Rw (If I Were A Boy)

For all the skeptics, I don't think I have the BEST voice in the world, obviously, but here's a video without any autotune.

I would challenge each of you, however, to try singing with autotune. It's not like it makes everything sound good. You actually have to be able to control your voice to make autotune sound nice.

i didnt say you couldnt sing... but the autotune makes the song sound that way cuz people who use it usually cant sing.... anyway, it doesnt even sound good with autotune... just keep it natural.

I think it was this video...you can actually sing; just not singing the RIGHT songs which will show off your vocal ability. IIWAB actually shows it off great, those auto-tune videos don't! But, good luck in this crazy industry, if that's your goal.

EDIT: :ahh: I've actually seen a lot of your videos, lmao...I browse YouTube a lot, I saw the Chapstick ones where you speak really fastly then one about being gay!
