Your mixes are not bad sounding, at all.

Here's a couple things I would definitely look into doing:

-Bump the low frequencies (50-70Hz) of the kick up. It has no thump, and is barely audible. The volume can probably be brought up as well.

-Lose the autotuned vocals. Autotune can definitely add something to a song, but in this case, i think it takes away. Autotune usually sounds better on the higher-pitched vocals.

-Also bump the low mid frequencies of the snare to give it a little more beef.


Cheers,
and good job.
