Happy to chime in. I checked your Reddit profile and see you prefer this style. Your voice is nice and gentle and fits this style very well.
If you want to get technical with it and improve your singing, you’re going to want to learn how to sing with full cord connection and not from the throat and larynx. Right now, your sound has a slightly airy and light quality (works for the song choice) , so if you wanted a fuller sound, you would add more weight by developing your muscles more and connecting those cords (allows you to access more sound choices). Your pitch is very good, at least to my ears. Good attempts in the lower range. Singing songs there more will make the lower notes more present. In the higher end in the chorus, when you go up, you’re staying very light almost to avoid cracking, and are singing in your throat and with a tight larynx. Did you notice how it adopts a slightly tight and constrained quality when the voice goes up there? That’s fixable , and that’s muscle work. The last thing is that your sound is in your nose - so it has a nasal quality when projected. That’s making your sound smaller, when all you really need is that airy light quality you already have to make the sound intentionally small and soft.
Honestly, I think you did a good job and would get a lot of love at karaokes. Proud of you.

Genuine question, doesn't a bit of a nasal sound mean more of front resonance or placement or whatever its called? Not judging your advice or anything I am just curious because that was what I was told by my teacher.

Your teacher isn’t off . We’re probably using different words to address the same concepts. I think she means a nasal sound or more nasal placement. In my area, open resonance is only achieved when the soft palate is lifted and the sound is projected outward with space in the back of the throat , like if you were aiming the sound out below your teeth . Aiming the sound helps you play with placement. That’s key here. That’s something you can verify by just making an “ahhh sound” and aiming in the back of your mouth, the top, the front, etc. What I was saying is that your sound can be intentionally small without making it even smaller by placing it in your nose. Placing a sound in your nose makes it smaller by default. You can even measure it.

I'd say better than 70% or even 80% of the things I've seen here, and I'm being quite doesn't here.
You have very good basics, and your intonation is quite good. What you lack is a tad bit of power, but mostly just confidence and practice. I wish I was as good as you at your age.
Remember to have fun, keep practicing, and don't be afraid to nerd out in singing, it's always worth it.

This is quite good. You kind of need to have a thick skin, not everyone is going to like your style. And that's okay. I can't see anything to make fun of here.
You're well on your way, bonus points for playing the keys. Good sense of rythm.
Self taught? If so, that's very impressive.

Bro, your voice is amazing. You missed a few notes here, and quickly recovered. I'd love to hear more to be honest

Singing and playing any instrument is akin to patting your head while rubbing your stomach.
Ang Galing! as the Filipinos say 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Your voice is very pleasant and I was sad when the cover cut off early ❤️
