oh shitman! the beginning was funny as hell with the voices... how did you do that?
Theguitar part is fine lol.. and this song is very funny...
I live in south miami btw.
Aaannny way.. your voice has ALOT of potential you just get shakey on notes that are longer than .7 of a second...seriously. Once you stop the shakey part i think it will be fine.
You stay in key for the most part but there are points where you sound .. off.. either a littlesharp or a little flat but that all comes with practice. You can hear your accent through the song! hoorah

the guitar was nice. this was cool.

which one? why did you say tropical country instead of just saying the name of the country?

The rhythm was better on this one I thought. You still need some vocal lessons though. :D

I know it wasns't serious. I still say you would benifit greatly with some basic knowlege on the mechanics of singing. There's a lot more to it than you think.
