Song feedback: Your singer can definitely sing. That right there is a major positive as it's by no means guaranteed. Your song is catchy, but also somewhat unoriginal sounding. You could likely find about a thousand that sound very similar. Your singer deserves a better song than this. He's MAKING the song rather than singing it, which is not really a positive. He's a Rock singer, isn't he? And this is a pretty undemanding Pop number. Good enough for a Christmas album and it might even chart, but in the long term, is this the sort of thing he wants to be singing, or indeed SHOULD be singing? I have my doubts. Hope this is helpful

I like it! It matches with tired old Christmas carols, but it brings something new. A pleasant modern tune. I wouldn't buy the CD, but when the radio stations start playing carols 24/7, I'd appreciate your music. Nice work, and welcome!

I've never heard this song before so I'm just curious, what's the history of this song? YouTube has several artists performing this song including Jaydee and Cliff Richard. Did you perform your own music and vocals, or is your YouTube video a compilation of other peoples' music and vocals?

Hi there Doc!
I think it's COOL! A catchy tune, bouncy beat, and great singer: excellent combination.
And like EK said, the singer has great potential in Rock Music, for a long-term career it'd be good if he sings some rock (maybe after the Christmas Season?).

I've listened to the song/s..... not sure which ones people are talking about!
Firstly, @ HEF, the original was done by Cliff Richard. I'm not a fan of his but I know people who are.
@ Elliot - The Doctor is The Singer!!!! How awesome is that? We have a split personality!!! I wonder if he sings in surgery?!!!
Thirdly, I have to agree with all who have said it, I think rock is better suited to his voice...... all we need to do now is come up with a list of songs we should get The Doc to sing and get him to post them to us!!!!! That way, we can all have Simon Cowell's job for the day and tell Doc what's what!!!!!

Thank you for the feedback... BH is very correct I am the singer and it was a Cliff Richard Christmas song from 2005. I will try to get some rock stuff together and see what I can do. I wasn't that great at rock 4 years ago, I just didn't have the power. But it may have changed. Just post some songs and i'll have a look. P.S BH I do sing in surgery in fact I sing nearly all the time

Hmmm... yeah, it sounds utterly boring with you singing like that? The song is nice, your voice is nice but you sound like... you're getting bored somewhere. Either that or remix the song into a rock song? ;D And start screaming into the mike?! Lol..
Singing in surgery?! Wow.... cool.

Doctor - I think you should be looking into artists like Bryan Adams, Bruce Springsteen, Status Quo, Dire Straits etc for inspiration. Adams especially might give you some ideas. It's that kind of 'Blues Rock' sound I think your voice might work best with.
And yeah, everyone covers Summer Of 69 ;D

But you know... EK, Adams is utterly boring so I hope that Doctor won't just simply "copy" him but be his own singer, instead. Like improvise and stuff.

I did say 'for inspiration' Luci NO artist should carbon-copy any other.

I'm sided with EK on this one.... I've heard Doc sing Dire Straits Walk of Life and he does it rather well...... Not sure if Bryan is his thing but I like the sound of Bruce! Maybe he could try some Bon Jovi....... but that's only because I am a huge fan of Jon!!!!!!

After speaking to Mr. Kane and making sure no one was going to go mad...... a brief note for you guys.
The Doctor is a very good friend of mine and he is doing a live performance this Saturday (31st October) at the King George V pub on Cranbrook Road in Gants Hill. It might be "your thing" for some of you and for others it might not be. Either way, at least you know that it is happening!!! It starts at around 8:30 and finishes around 11:00pm.
If you fancy coming down to see The Doctor sing, it will be great to see you there.

Hopefully The Doctor can become really famous, start doing concerts all over the World, eventually on his record-breaking concert tour pass through INDONESIA! @ The Doctor: Best of luck with the concert, and surgery! And yes, you've got a really good Rock Voice.
