Many of your will remember Tahj Mowry from the hit show ‘Smart Guy’, or as the younger brother of twins Tia and Tamera (of ‘Sister Sister’ fame).
The young actor appears to be making a foray into music, recently posting his cover of John Legend‘s ‘Ordinary People’ on Youtube.
While we’re all for following one’s dreams, we’re also advocates for singing songs in your range; Mowry’s showing being a case, point, example of doing the complete opposite.
The 24 year old definitely has an interesting tone, one which would likely benefit from him tackling more Pop-orientated songs. For, as his showing here underscored – you simply can’t fake soul or passion in your vocal delivery. You either have it or you don’t, the latter being the case for the aspiring singer.
In any case…
Wow Tahj

I’d just like to say that although this was alright, I did a better job than him on my page…www.youtube.com/Neiman07. I guess with him being the brother of the infamous Tia and Tamera, I would expect more talent. But to each its own.

Actually that wasn’t that bad, I just felt like posting that GIF
This isn’t the best rendition of this song, but you made it song like he can’t sing when in reality he sounds better than most artists out right now.
He just tries too hard but It’s not that bad
This is actually really old but nice, I prefer his cover of m.j.’s human nature

just be an actor
Though this is definitely sung in the upper octave, I would have to say that Tahj held his own vocally. With the quick little trills and runs to refresh the vocally straight song, it was cool. His tone is clearly audible with a light nasally sound and a little bit of vibrato. With some vocal lessons, he can strengthen and smooth his vibrato out so it can be less noticeable when she sings. I can hear him on the radio…a mini Ne-Yo or Trey Songz!
@Neiman: Genius…=)
I just couldn’t get into…at all. Too nasal. I think THIS guy put a bit of nice soul into it:
