Assignment Progress “Crucial Decisions”

Currently am almost finished with adding my VSTs to the Vocals, and as i work more and more on making to sound like how am imaging it to Sound, am starting to think that i should re-record the Vocals or even change the Singer, because of the following reasons :

1 – more takes are needed for the chorus.
2 – Verse vocals are not loud enough in the beginning of every verse (1st two bars of every verse).
3 – the errors need a lot more time to be treated by filters and sometimes my compressor cant hit the vocals right unless i separate the 1st two bars on a seperate channel and compress them on their own so that it doesn’t effect how the 2nd bars are compressed.
4 – i feel like the Singer can do better
5 – am using way too many effects to make it sound better,and in my opinion, most of these effects can be removed if we re-record and get it right this time which would make it sound better than the current version of the recording with the effects

it currently Sounds like this ( verse 1+ pre-chorus+ chorus) : https://picosong.com/whALA/
and this is how it sounds with any effects : https://picosong.com/whAVw/

Since we have a 1 week break il re-record it (using Logic this time to get more familiar with it) just to have a separate version and use that one before we reach the deadline of the production phase.
