Hi, I practise singing as a hobby. I have been told point blank in the past (just from a vocal track) "you can't lead like that, but maybe it would be ok as backing vocals".
So, I'd like to please ask people who actually mix vocals for advice. What should I look out for, and would either of the clips below (minus the hiss) be "hard work" for a sound engineer? I know that it would ultimately depend on what you are mixing it with, but I am only asking about fundamentals.
(I've picked an easy tune at random. Sorry about my recording equipment and the hiss.)

(My guess is that vocalists just want to make you sound more like their favourite genre -- usually heavy rock and stuff, even if you are singing something entirely different.)
