This would sound no different from what you already have - that is: professionally recorded music in an concert hall + voice recorded with a cheap microphone in a bedroom. The voice will still sound "disconnected" from the music.

You need to try and get a clean, high quality recording of your voice - use a good quality microphone if possible, and use the Equalization effect to reduce any excessive boominess and try to get the voice to sound as clean and natural as possible. Adding a little reverb to the voice may help it to sit better in the mix.
