I need some help with my piano playing. I stuck this song in the christmas music thread, then after listening to it, I thought it sounded pretty lame.
Here's another song, just so you can hear my playing style more.
After recording this, I someone mentioned to me some guy named Jim Brickman, so I went to his site to see what he was about and listened to his samples. It turns out his playing style is very similar to mine, but something about his playing sounds much more fluid and smooth than mine. I don't think he's playing anything too much technically harder than what I am, but it just seems to flow better.

I'm relatively new the the piano, and I can't quite put my finger on what the difference is, but I know it's there. My playing feels more mechanical and forced, so I'm wondering a couple things:
1) Am I too hard on myself, and it sounds fine?
2) Am I too easy on myself, and my stuff sounds like fart?
3) Can anybody pinpoint ideas that might help focus more on certain techniques when practicing?
