6:00 vocal cover

The thing is, he isn't taking lessons. That's a crock.

This, yeah. If there's one thing I noticed about his posts it's that he's trying to "set up our mindset" towards liking his recordings. So, he tells us he takes lessons. He tells us he has a cold, that the microphone is making him sound bad, and this thread started with "OMG, I can't believe how bad I was last year, I totally hear it now", even though he made zero improvement. The idea that he now hears the mistakes he made last year but now no longer does them, is (as you say) crock. He's saying it so that, maybe, this new video will finally convince us of his singing. Because (and he displayed that notion in previous threads) I think he believes we're just too clueless to tell what's good and what's not. After all, he is a lead singer of a band! (he used that argument previously, as an indicator of quality)
I know I'm coming across as one mean person right now, but I personally believe that shaking a person out of their delusion is more beneficial than the "awww my little princess, you are a winner in my eyes!!" bullshit that's all too common these days.

Like, there are parts that sound good, but there are parts that sound way off.  How about, instead of trying to cover the song start to finish, you break it up into chunks so you can perfect each part.

Nicky, it's really nice to see you're accepting the criticism now. That's the way to improvement.

No, actually learning how to sing is the way to improve. Accepting criticism won't do shit to improve his vocals. Sayin.

And of course, this formula:

[Jamesman42]

What do t and tal (I think that's how you say it) represent?

[Ħ]

Rumborak knows what he's talking about.

[Dr. DTVT]

What do t and tal (I think that's how you say it) represent?

They both are time.  t is the amount of time you spend on it, tal is time as a variable - I think.

Well if he accepts criticism maybe he'll try to improve himself? Iunno, doesn't seem like it's working, but hopefully it does.

[rumborak]

What do t and tal (I think that's how you say it) represent?

It's "tau" (pronounced "tao").
Well, the formula describes your skill at time point "t", and you calculate it by adding all the Talent*Effort together from time 0 (presumably your birth) to the current time "t". For technical reasons of calculating this integral, you have to choose a different variable inside the integral, and for that one often uses the Greek equivalent of the Roman letter. So, for "t" I used Tau.
