...well, I'd consider myself a creative person, not only in terms of projects and mapping, I am also working as a media designer in an agency and two of my big hobbies are photography and music where the latter is actually the one that I want to show off today. To make it short, I just opened my very own Youtube Channel with cover songs that I sang - interested?
Pretty nice. I don't think I would agree on your description of yourself though. I think you're definitely competent and productive. But creative I feel is being a bit of a misnomer in your case. But maybe I am just being obtuse.
Also, another bit of criticism from this cranky ol' swede. While I really enjoy Queen, and I think you did a decent job of covering them. Doing a cover you are inevitably going to be pitted against the original, and it's generally a bit of a bad idea to do straight covers of something like Queen. Seeing as how Freddie Mercury is such an amazing singer it's incredibly hard not to come up short compared to him.
@Grain - Thanks for the corrections, I did the descriptions in a hurry and wasnt sure with all of them, will fix it later.
@kristus - Well, I tend to add a personal style and touch to some covers, so at least a little bit of creativity is involved :) Concerning Freddy, no doubt, no One can even come close to this ******* singer, I was already aware of that when doing the recording. The reason I chose it was mostly that I like it and that I am still a big Queen fan myself :)

Which was evident at the Freddie Mercury tribute concert in 1992. A number of well established artists sung Queen songs and very few of them were up to it. IIRC, George Michael did a pretty decent job though.

Agreed, that one was pretty good, though you have to admit that George Michael is an awesome and very gifted singer as well. Shame on him for not doing commercial music anymore...

More good German singers, if you want to stretch back into the 80s, would include Herbert Groenemeyer and Nena. Also, the guy from Einsteurzende Neubauten, and the women he sand this song with:
More on topic, that's some top-notch singing. I sort of wish I stayed in chorus back in school, so my vocals were better trained.
Till Linderman (Rammstein), Ralf Scheepers (Primal Fear)
They are also great IMO.
Can't forget Der Graf:
Although he and Linderman have similar style.
Back on topic, you got a good voice on you. Alot of people think they can sing when really they can't sing for shit. You can hold a tune quite well. Something to be proud of.
Update
Just uploaded a batch of songs from 2007 - older ones, not as good as the new ones but maybe still worth enough listening. Also expect a christmas tune on the channelfront ;)

- T.a.T.u.: Loves me Not
- Deftones: Change in the House of Flies
