I always have considered this tune one of the top 10 songs of all time. And your arrangement and version did not change my opinion. Good job!

Your pitch was good, did you used any vocal pitch corrections to adjust or do you just have a good ear? Your phrasing was also good although I though a couple of times you could have laid back (ie., delayed) just a tad more for a better effect. I think I head a guitar in there that sounded very nice, but as been pointed out, some of the midi sounded, well like midi. Also sometimes the background was a little busy and it tended to compete with the vocal. And finally, it didn't sound like the vocals were mixed in with the midi well. What I mean is it sounded like the band was in one space and the vocalist was in another. I don't know how to correct something like this, I tend to have the same problems in my vocal arrangements. Perhpas someone else hear this and can provide guidance.

Like I said, you picked one of my favorite songs, and did a good job.
