Can you sing?

Aelia Jusa · 01-25-2004, 04:54 PM

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!)

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

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

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

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.
