Ebonic, your voice has a nice tone. I think the recording suffers from live performance pushing and some pitch problems. And you definitely not helped by a bad and out of tune chorus. I would like to hear a more professional recording that was not done at a live performance.
Everytime you mentioned "It Takes Two," I thought you'd figured out a way to turn the duet from Into the Woods into a solo. Then I asked myself, "How is Sondheim Pop/Rock"? This makes more sense.

I WISH it was "It Takes Two" from Into The WOODS, it would have automatically gotten my vote. As it is, I found it passable but still too "boy band" for my tastes as well.
It seems like none of you took Tiff's GREAT, CONSTRUCTIVE advice from last week.
1. "God Save the People", Godspell – Ebonic_Singer Yeah, shut up, you rock. Now, to break that Shoshana habit...
2. “Wake Me Up When September Ends”, Green Day – jrb_actor Honestly, I haven't listened yet. It isn't working right. I'll listen another time.
3. “Mr. Cellophane”, Chicago – Timote The song isn't one of those - knock 'em over numbers...I don't think you lived up to the little potential of the song. You were good. Nothing stand out. But, like I said, it's hard to stand out with this song. (Though I love it in the show.)
4. “Sunday Morning”, Maroon 5- Spiderdj82 Not BAD at all! Hint: You may want to lower the backing track. If you need help, PM me.
5. “Your Eyes”, Rent – JACXR71 Not as strong as I would have liked, but pretty good.
6. “Fallin’”, Alicia Keys – Aigoo I lost track of when you were singing and when Alicia was singing. Though you gave me a heart attack at the beginning. It was a nice reminder I have a heart!
7. “It Takes Two”, Hairspray – Link Larkin Wanabe Seems you found your niche in turning EVERY thing into pop. You should try to break it though.
8. "Once Upon A Dream", Jekyll & Hyde - My Fair Lady Passable. Keep working at it. Take some voice lessons to fix your diction a bit and to work on your upper register.
