I'm going to sound like a dick here, just because I've had vocal training from a Filipino master, but it sounds like you may have been pushing a little hard at a point or two. You should focus on singing deep down from the diaphragm and making sure that you keep your mouth and throat wide open, so as to not restrict the natural tone. That is pretty hard to just do with me just saying it though.
I'd love to provide you some aid, but I don't have a working microphone at this point in time, nor the time to get into my school's equipment.
Either way, you seem to understand how to have your voice fit the mood of the song which people don't always understand, so a definite kudos for that. I would say just keep doing it until you find the sound that occurs most naturally. My teacher sort of copied a line from Futurama saying "if you sing right, you'll never really be sure if you're singing at all", and while that comes off as a little confusing, he just means that your voice sounds best where there is the least resistance coming from your throat and range.
