Yes, something totally different..
Started playing keyboard late 2011, begin 2012. I have never taken any singing or keyboard lessons as you can probably tell.
I only do this for fun, any feedback/tips are welcome though :)

Very, very enjoyable. The only thing I suggest is the sound balance is a bit loud on the keyboard and it drowns out your singing. Louder singing or turn up the voice mic.

Glad you think so! And I agree, I recorded the video+sound with just a normal video camera, so the sound quality isn't that good. I have a mic but the sound recording quality from that is much worse. :)

I think it is quite good according to the length of time you have been at this. I sense a nervousness in your voice which you will get better with more experience, self confidence and training.
Keep it up. You are a very talented girl.

I think you sound a little hesitant on your singing. Otherwise sounds really good!

A lot better than I can do lol, I can play piano sort of but I can only play one hands part at a time let along singing at the same time!

Keep going and don't like any of the youtube trolls tell you otherwise :)

Thank you! I don't have a 'powerful' voice, but I do hope it will get better :)

To be honest I don't really know the chords.. because I never learned that much about chords xD
My keyboard says, E B Cm A.

Thanks a lot :) And actually, for me it's easier to sing and play at the same time instead of only sing, that way it's easier for me to sing the right notes.

You sound a bit like you are whispering but singing, don't be nervous!
I was pleasantly surprised I thought you'd have a higher voice and you have a very mature singing voice. Teach me! xD
Nicely done. :>

Yup transposed to a different key. :)
You are playing in the key of E it can be played with a different key by changing the chords/notes as they are arranged. Same thing as placing the "Capo" on your guitar frets.
(LOW) E F F# G G# A A# B C C# D then back to E on the 12th fret.
A A# B C C# D E F F# G G# then back to A on the 12th fret.
D E F F# G G# A A# B C C# then back to D on the 12th fret.
G G# A A# B C C# D E F F# then back to G on the 12th fret.
B C C# D E F F# G G# A A# then back to B on the 12th fret.
(HIGH) E F F# G G# A A# B C C# D then back to E on the 12th fret.
Place a capo on the first fret and you are playing in the key of F. :)

You can transpose on Piano by the arrangement of these notes.
If you have a progression of G D E minor C
You can arrange to the key of E by notes like this
G would be E (D E F G) - between the E and G is one note so...
G becomes E
D becomes B
E/minor becomes C/minor
C becomes A

See how easy it is to change keys? :)
You could also play the arrangement in a key that fits your tonal voicing.That is what keys are for.
You could play it as
G D E/minor C to
Key of F (F G - one note difference) - F C D/minor B
Key of D ( D E F G two note difference) - D A B/minor G

The first chord/note usually determines the key.

Good job there, it sounded pretty good. Room for improvement but that's true for anyone.
Is it an old A-ha tune? I thought I recognised part of the chorus.

I wasn't sure who he is, did a quick search and remembered that Hazard was a fairly big hit over here.

Oh my god! :cool
You are very beautiful, even though the video lasts less than five minutes, if not I would fall in love! :lmao
I thought you a little nervous, but sometimes you become more relaxed and spontaneous.
Continue! Keep practicing and exhibiting, and soon will be so natural that there will be no nervousness or insecurity! :jumpclap :clap

P.S:
In Making of: Zombie*, you got scary! Very ugly! :scram
Even though the video lasts less than four minutes, if not I would have to call the Winchester brothers (Sam and Dean)! :rofl

Amazing transformation!! :jumpclap :clap :coolthup :yr
