Thanks for sharing. Since you are asking for feedback:

I am watching the second one right now. I think you have a great tone- bright and clean, which I like. One suggestion I would make is that if you are going to sing these type of songs you should consider toning down your enunciation of all the vowels. It sounds more Broadway/choir than is fitting for these songs that you obviously care about.

Also I noticed in some of the lower parts of the songs ("You Got It" mainly and some in "Bless the Broken Road" and "You Belong to Me") you need to make sure you double your breath support so you don't go flat.

Lastly I don't you sense connecting with the audience. Even if there are lots of other things going on and the focus isn't necessarily on y'all, you can still connect with the few folks who are paying attention...or MAKE them pay attention. : )

Again, you have a very pretty voice but consider what style fits the songs.

I think you have a lovely voice!!!
Thanks for sharing!
I think that maybe you should emphasize the nuances in the songs... I have no "music vocabulary" in english, sorry! What I mean is to give it a softer start and then change the "energy" of your voice according to the lyrics and the music.
I hope you can understand what I mean, I'm so sorry my English is not that good.
The important thing on this post anyway is that you have a beautiful voice :oP

Absolutely. I can't do that, so I admire you for it :o)
And since you have a great voice, it's good that you're showing it.
