Im 14 so my voice is not fully devopled I have the biggest passion for singing and well you can I grew up in a tone death family I didn't grow up around music I brought the music to me I sang all the time when I was little now I can sing way way better and I have gotten better each and every year and now it's comming down to every week Im getting better and well I don't belive in being natrually gifted I just think that if you grew up in a musicial family than youve been doing it forever and well you learn from being around it look at any good singer they have been singing their whole lives they probley weren't good when they were really little like 2 but also when your young you learn faster

The term you are looking for is "tone deaf" not tone "death". I also wonder why you would ask us to judge a song that you don't know very well? Are you a Christine A. Fan? have you listened to that song much? I'm not into secular music so I'm not sure if that's popular or not.

You're 14, do you sing or have you auditioned for any school choirs or church choirs? Have you studied music at all?

I must confess your performance was lacking tonally. You may have been rhythmically correct, but as I don't know the song I can't say for sure. If I were you I would look for a song that you do know well, and sing it till you know the words and tune by heart. Then try again to repost this question then.

I have been a singer for many years from early on, and from the 6th grade to Highschool I was blessed to have music teachers that were able to teach me the finer points of "vocaleese". If I was a voice teacher with any ethics in me at all I would tell you to practice, but I would not lead you on to make you think you are something you may not be. As singer in my 20's when performing with a choir in a 1 hr setting many of us could burn enough calories to loose 1 to 2 lbs in weight. Posture, diaphram, abdominal control, play an integral part in proper singing. Many people will tell you that you are great charge you a fortune in lessons and not improve on your ability to sing. Because it's not just what the other person hears but what you hear as well. If you are not able to determine for yourself if you are in key or not you wll have a hard time as a singer.

You can get a note tester that will listen to your pitch as you sing it and show you visually what the actual sound is that you are singing, it can also show you what the sound should look and sound like as well (it's like an ocilloscope, but it's more like a tuner for an instrument).

As of now you need a lot of work on pitch identification, with regards to what you hear and what sound you reproduce in matching what you hear. You were not on key with the accompaniment or the backround vocals, and it appears that you were not aware of this. I have known many tone deaf people and I have never known of them to overcome this problem.

If this is you and you are still interested in music, fear not you can always study the piano, or take up an instrument. Very little effort is required in pitch control as there are bench marks in instruments and tuning them (fixed points of reference that never change once the instrument is tuned well in 95% of the songs you would play in a given setting). And you are young enough now to start developing muscle memories for hand and fingering placements of the instrument you choose
(ie guitar, piano, woodwind, or brass even percussion).

I hope this helps and God Bless

PS if you have any further questions let me know, and I will try to help, but the best advise I can give you is try out for your school music instructors and tell them to be honest with you. Listen to what they say, and get some books on proper singing techniques. Christina's voice is unique and she has worked very hard to get it that way, she probably practices a minimum of 5 hrs a day, as well as works out and has dance patterns to learn. The she may spend 2 to 3 hrs a day working on writing songs, so she is at a piano, or with a guitar. She knows music theory, and key structure, reads music. She just don't get up and go ok I'm ready to sing. A good singer will try to warm up at least 1 to 2 hours before working their instrument. Singing is not easy, but if you learn the basics and practice practice practice, the rewards are great, even just to sing to yourself, it's the way I praise My Father in Heaven. It's my tallent and I give it back to Him when ever I can.
