Heh, sorry, I know I talk about my singing. I do think I'm fairly good at it and would like to improve further if I can.
What movie should I sing from, of the sensational six?

Man has a dream
And that's the start
He follows his dream
With mind and heart
And when it becomes a reality
It's a dream come true
For you and me!

Work on pitch and timbre, there was an awkward high note around the 0:57 mark.
Sing from the diaphragm, you'll get a lot more air that way.
You hit some of the notes rather well towards the end, but the first portion was just too "singing along with the radio and not really knowing the words", IMO.
Try singing "Home" from the Beauty and the Beast musical. It's a naturally soft song (with sections that do require raising your voice) that would probably fit your voice better.

I agree with escapay with the song choice.
Try looking up a karaoke version of the song. That could help keep your tempo and pitch correct. I hope i don't offend at all, but you sound younger and for a younger voice you are doing pretty well. If you havn't started already I would suggest getting voice lessons. Lessons, aren't an insult they just make you better.
Things that could help...
Diaphram- make sure that while you are breathing your air feels lik it's going into your stomach area. You don't want your shoulders to move, that's the first clue you are doing it wrong. This will help your sound become more full and you'll have 100% more control over your voice. This is also you can learn how to hold notes for a very long time.
Warm-up- anytime you sing, make sure you warm up first. You wouldn't run a mile before you stretch, why do that to your vocal cords? try singing simple scaled, make high pitched siren noices (usung falseto), sing one note that in comfortably in your vocal range and make that go from loud to silent to loud again. These are all warm-ups I use on a regular basis before I perform.
posture- believe it or not, your posture play a huge role in the way ou sound. when singing while standing you want your feet shoulder length apart with one foot proped a bit more forward than the other. You want to make sure your knees aren't locked into place. Don't tense your shoulders, arms, or hands either. The point is to focus your body's energy on your singing. This will more than likely come in most handy while recording. When performing live, some of thes rules change. When sitting you want to sit on the edge of your seat with your body in the most upright position it can be in.
It's a lot of info, but it's what professionals do. Want proof? listen to Jodi Benson, all of this was taught to me by one of my professors at Millikin University. My professor was a classmate of Jodi's while she went to Millikin. And she was also Sierra Boggess's (plays Ariel on Broadway right now) Voice instuctor while she attended Millikin.
