Do these vocals sound "Poppy" enough?

First you have a great voice! My advice DO NOT go for the poppy sound. Pop vocals ALL sound the same robotic, brittle high pictched sharp sound. With high eq boost. You see how everyone in above post knows exactly the settings/parameters for a "Pop" sound. ( not to discredit any above post these guys are pros and give million dollar advice) but my 2 cents I wanna here YOU triquee not some robotic singer. These days I can't tell who T. Pain is, why? Cause everyone sounds like him. Can't tell the difference from Brittany spears and lady gaga cause their "Poppy" vocals are all eng the same. When does ingenuity pay off? My advice let us here YOU! The real you! Let the style of the song and the beat/production be pop and set that tone ( trust me its enough). But let your vocal be you, cause later in your music career you will be able to "CROSS OVER" into other genres without people being like..."wait who is that again? Oh! I had no idea she even sounded like that?

How to engineer you? Have your ENG eq your strengths and cut out your weaknesses. Very little delay and small amounts of reverb and avoid anything that is robotic or "Poppy". With you being the only you with your voice I think your individuality will allow you to go far and separate you from the masses. Wish you the best!

I am really going to have to agree with jay here. Your voice has a unique quality, not to mention the fact that you totally rock anyway. I understand your wanting to make this particular song 'poppy', but I already miss the original un-tuned version.

Just sayin...
 
Well, that was an interesting adventure....And a tedious one. I think my ears are shot - can't hear nuances anymore. But anyhow, here's the final product of today's lesson....

 
I feel the vocals are buried a bit. They jump out at times, but not consistently on top (where they should be).

DensityMKII. not the Cubase crap compressor. :)
