I'm not going to accuse them of digitally enhancing her voice until I hear her live. But even the Mei Mei haters have to admit that there is SIGNIFICANT improvement.

She's not an upper echelon singer, but this song definitely suits her voice. Bravo to her. Keep up the good work.


The synchronized arrangement suits her voice, but I highly doubt she'd have been able to pull off the original arrangement with the inclusion of a major key change. What Hangout did isn't even a real remix, it's a dumbing-down (this is the actual term, I mean no offense) of the song and creating a more simplistic melody, to the bands heavily digitized harmony. It sounds decent enough, something like you'd hear on a cruise, but I can't accept this mediocrisy like some are prone to and pretend as though the singer in question has made such great strides as to be given all this glory that I see, that is fanaticism...how do I know? I've been guilty of it myself, and therefore can recognize it for what it is, all in all she has improved, but has a way to go.

LejacobinNoir - LOL, something some of you don't know is that I am a classically trained musician, I have studied music for over 15 years. I play the Clarinet, and Xylophone, and sing as well. I compose, transpose and read sheet music...both my brothers are Maestros and play several instruments, one is a music teacher. My parents threw us into the arts in the french style of education. But because of the chaos of KM and the nonsense that goes off on here, I rarely take part in serious musical discussion, but end up in petty arguments. In any case thanks for the offhand compliment, and no I have no been hacked:

T-VICE ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!

People are probably going to get me on this one, but I'm going to have to flip flop. Embarassed

I listened to the track again on some quality headphones instead of my cheapo speakers, and it sounds less impressive. Much less impressive.

I still say it's an improvement from "Afe'm Se Pa'm", but as it is, it's only okay. It kind of sounds like a MIDI.
