Happy Easter/This Ain’t Good Bye – Train

Happy Easter everyone ! I’ve been told chocolate eggs weren’t for my age anymore, and I completely disagree because I never miss an occasion to get chocolate ! Anyway, I haven’t been giving any news since a long time, I didn’t post my last video – this isn’t serious at all. I’ve been thinking on how to do my next videos and to be more social because I don’t talk or anything. I’d like to start, and that’s why I’m planing to do news videos where I don’t sing but I would be talking about daily events. For the moment, I’m in “a lack of inspiration period” as I don’t want to sing anything, I’m not really motivated. I hope it won’t last long, I usually find motivation after looking at what others do on YouTube. I am going on holiday (to Arcachon), I think I’ll start a video there, I’m bringing my material in any case. For the moment, enjoy this Easter celebration, until you don’t get sick for eating too much chocolate. Here is the song I made last week that has been recommended by a friend (thanks again if he reads this article), I really like it and I hope it will be the same for you I saw I passed the 2 000 views on YouTube, it’s a big achievement for me, so thank you very much. At the contrary, and it’s my fault, not much is happening on Twitter unfortunately, I hope I’ll be able to change that by posting other videos (In french). Hope I’ll see you soon, a big thanks if you’re following me on this blog or on YouTube, it means a lot to me

 

Fix You – Coldplay

Wow I just realised I forgot to post the video I made… …2 weeks ago. Even if I’ve got a lack of inspiration for the moment, I hope I’ll find the right song to sing and perhaps stop this facial camera view because I’m sure I can find things much more interesting ^^ Here is the Coldplay song:

1000 views on Youtube

Special article to talk about a fantastic thing, as I now have more than 1000 views on Youtube ! (Most viewed video : “Hallelujah” – Jeff Buckley). I wasn’t expecting this in so little time and this is the main reason why I want to continue making videos of my singing. Now what’s next ? I decided my next song would be one from a group well known : Coldplay. I am not going to reveal the name of the song yet, because you are going to find out very soon what it is. I have already been requested a song to sing, and I find this is a brilliant idea because I sometimes don’t know what to do next, so if you’d like to show me a song you like, just post a comment on Youtube or send me a message on Twitter It would be a pleasure to see if I can deal with it or not. Anyway, thank you for watching my videos, and see you next time ^^

Bad Day – Daniel Powter (Cover by James Legros)

New article to post a song I was singing before I even thought I would create this blog : Bad Day – Daniel Powter…

Now first thing I wanted to talk about is the effect I put on the video, this is due to my lights, I wasn’t keen on the fact we could only see half of my face (well now you can’t even see it but doesn’t matter…^^). I thought it was better to add this, and so I did. I also realised that I might of added a bit to much audio effects on “Hallelujah” and so I didn’t put as much on this one, even if it contributes to the atmosphere of the song (when I see some videos on the net, I’m not that worried). Thanks a lot for sharing or even talking about it if you do, it helps me a lot. Don’t forget you can also follow me on Twitter if you wish to have detailed informations on what I’m doing.

Thanks for reading, I hope you’ll enjoy the video above,

Hallelujah – Leonard Cohen/Jeff Buckley (Cover by James Legros)

Hi everyone,

At last, THE song I wanted to record and there it is ^^ Funny I don’t have much to say whereas I was planning to write a lot. I am going to do a sort of biography article to talk about how I came to have an interest in singing in a few days time. I’ll have to inform my self on how to post videos on Youtube because it has been uploading for 2 hours… The main reason (I think) is because it was encoded in HD (well even if it’s written in the description it’s for Youtube…). Never mind, I’m afraid I’m not able to do a lot for the moment as I need to do my homework, which is a bit long. Hope you enjoy the video, and see you next time

Singing in the rain

Hi ^^

First song with the legendary “Singing in the rain”. The original is so good because it is amazingly entertaining and, just fun to listen. Surely it won’t be the same with this one, I’m not Gene Kelly ^^, but I wanted to try singing this, and there it is. Sadly (and this is important), I don’t play any instruments (even if I played the saxophone for 4 years) and so I have to pick “instrumentals” (The Karaoke Channel for this one) … I hope I’ll find musicians who would like to follow me but unfortunately, I can’t find them for the moment ^^ There is Reverb effect on my voice but that’s all, as I’m not friendly enough with my software (for the moment…). I did an image because illustrations are, I think, always appreciated (I like when there is one). Here is the song (The video is crap sorry, don’t take in account the fact that I’m contently moving my shoulder, I’m just in the song’s atmosphere ^^ ), thanks for reading

Who am I ?

Hi,

The first article is always a difficult one as it’s usually made for presentation. Well, firstly, my name is James and I’m 15 years old. I’ve decided to create this “mini website” not because I love talking about my personality and stuff (Even if I’m sure I will), but because I am about to start a Youtube Chanel to post all my singing, and also to talk about my view on our society (very deep…). Where do I live? In France actually in a town near Lyon. I am French (half English thanks to my mum) and that’s why you may have already noticed some mistakes. Sorry about that, I’m trying my best ^^ That’s the main reason why I’ll write in both languages, because I expect viewers won’t just be French people, however, I can’t express my self as easily when I speak English.

I can’t answer at the question “What type of music are you going to sing?” because I don’t know. I appreciate a lot of kind of music and I like discovering new types… I will be talking about things I like or I dislike, trying to moderate because I know it can quickly be boring for viewers. I hope you’ll be following me through out what I do (would be great !) and see you soon in another article !
