LOL, I was watching American Idol last night - are these people deluded or what? By the end of it I decided they must be paid by the producers to spice up the show a bit, they couldn't really think they're talented (surely!) :eek: :D

Anyway, what about you? Can you sing? Do you sing?

I rap and sing. I rap better than I can sing.
Oh, yeah I also write lyrics.

You watch American Idol? Reality TV really shits me at the moment - (Australian Idol, World Idol, American Idol (3), Australian Idol 2, My Restaurant, Average Joe, Pop Stars Live, Big Brother 4, Bachelor III, Bachelorette - Arrgghhhhh!) It's too much.

Back on topic.... ( [img]tongue.gif[/img] )

Most people can sing - the majority however, not very well.

This is a difficult question because, as American Idol shows, many people *think* they can sing when in reality they can't. I for one can say that yes, in fact, I can sing quite well. This isn't my opinion, but the opinion of several brutally honest (and oft downright cruel) choir instructors.

I can sing, as a matter of fact I am singing right now... don't know how well though :D

When I'm singing, my girlfriend runs out of the house and into the woods. She says, that's the only way to save her ears :D .

Anyone can 'sing' (ie: hit the vocal notes that they want to hit), it's just a matter of concentration and conditioning your vocal chords with practice. Like training for a marathon, you have to repeat the necessary mental and physical excercises to get in 'singing' shape.

'Course, you have to admit that some peoples' voices are more pleasant than others.
However, having a less-pleasant or downright comical voice is in no way an obstacle to success.
Look at Nathan Lane!

I try to grunt with the music I'm listening to, sometimes it goes well sometimes not. Though it's definitely not good for your throat :D As for singing I don't think it sounds good

Sometimes I think of some lyrics but I'm not in a band so furthest they have come was playing a bit on my keyboard with them.

Can I sing? It depends on who you ask. :D

I can sing in tune but it won't sound good.

I can kinda, although the best lyrics I ever made up were in about p4 (at the age of what.....9 maybe) I and some friends wrote a rap, its really cool, even now I look at it and think "how the hell could I have made that up then!"

Some people would have to do a lot more training than others to sing in tune though - and judging by Idol, they haven't, and don't realise they need to ;) . I have a good ear, so I can sing in tune and harmonise without training or practice, though my voice is weak and I have no range lol ;) . But I remember one chick when a friend and I were playing our clarinets practicing for some band thing and she couldn't tell that we weren't playing the same note. She'd need a little more help :D

LOL, GokuZool, some 'reality' TV is dire isn't it? But what can I say, it was a slow night! Non-ratings and all ;) . I'm really hanging out for 'How clean is your house' - a more intriguing concept for a TV show I haven't heard! :D :rolleyes: ;)

::takes one glance at Aelia's post, picks up the phone, and calls Fox, which is on the speed dial:: Alright... They HAVE to listen to this one! They HAVE to! They laughed at my other reality show ideas, but this one is gold, restraining order be damned!

Uh, sorry, it's already been thought of :D . I didn't actually make that up, I've seen that touted as one of the reality shows coming up this year [img]graemlins/uhoh1.gif[/img] :D

Really? For the love of Bhaal, I didn't think that could possibly be true! I thought you made it up!
It is most intriguing, though. I should enter my family's house.

I can also whistle scales :D Does that count?

I can sing yes, do it once in a while as well. My voice ain't something very special, but it's okay.

I sound like a cat choking on a tuna bone whenever I exert my vocal cords, but it never stops me from having a good old sing-song in the shower and car. It makes me happy, it's a feel-good thing for me, so I'm not bothered about the quality of it per se.

There wasn't an option for 'moderately OK'. ;)
I can sing in tune, and though I haven't got a fantastic voice calling it "not too great" is a bit modest too :D
I do like to sing, in any case: in the shower, in a choir, in my room, usually hum a tune when I'm outside as well.

When I start to sing people always tell me stop. I wonder why. ;)

I saw American Idol the other day ( or was it world idol? ). My god, some people really can't sing at all ( even I'm better ). make me wonder why on earth do they want to attend the audition and make a fool of themselves in front of the camera.

Please don't tell me you said Big Brother 4, arrgh i hate that so much, and it screws up all the other program times, aren't peopel sick of it yet?!

I can car sing with noone around, and I sometimes quietly sing at work when noone is around.

Sure, they call me "Marco Bakker van de betonbuurt", of course it takes at least two cases of beer to get me started. :D

In other words..... NO !!! When i start singing the cows will stop giving milk, the birds stop singing, and rain starts pouring down. [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

Sing all the time I do. I got my voice trained via classes at an early stage though. It's great cuz I love it and I took music in my final exams at school which basically knocked an exam from my fear list (since singing did not count as work or study in my mind).
