Sinéad, I hadn't met you, or heard you sing, when the thread you refer to in your OP was going, a year ago. Since then though, I've heard you sing a couple of times and IMO you have a lovely voice. It needs a bit of discipline, but that'll come with experience.

The main thing you were missing when I heard you was *confidence* (and I can REALLY relate to that....I mess up my tunes and singing regularly due to nerves!). You seemed to be giving out an aura of *apologising* for yourself all the time...but there's absolutely no need. I know you hang around with some superb musicians, and this may skew your perception of your own talents, but I loved listening to you sing the couple of times I heard you, and once the confidence grows, so will the amount of "feeling" and "soul" you get into your songs. You're very young still and right at the beginning of developing your talent.
