I love to sing along with my favorite songs. Even if I don't get the lyrics right and the tone is off, I don't care. I just got to sing along with it, LOL! How about you? Do you like to sing along or are you contented with just listening to your fave songs?

Yup, I do too. It really doesn't matter if I don't sing a song well, what matters is that I get to sing with it. Thanks for sharing.

Hi I sing along to my favorite songs all the time. My teenager is not happy about it, but it makes me happy, and thats what matters.

I do listen to them all the time, in fact, I'm listening to it while posting here on mylot!;) I like listening to different types/genres of music, but I listen most to rock/heavy metal songs. I also appreciate pop, songs during my younger years (during the 80's) and some of the classics!;) For me, it depends upon my mood. If I feel pain, sorrow and loneliness, I listen to what I think suits my feelings. And same goes whenever I feel happy, I listen to what I think is best for that certain situation.

Yes I do and I love doing it too. Just this afternoon, i sung along with the song 'forever' among others songs. Singing is a sort of outlet for me too, woo to those who thinks that I am so off in terms of tone because they just have to bear with me.

I sing along with songs, it is fun and I do not give much about what others think about it. After I learned the tune this way I even often sing it alone in my bathtub, too. It doesn`t matter whether the song comes out of my radio, the car radio or TC, I just sing along.

I sing along to favorites songs all the time~! I don't care whether I don't know the lyrics. Sometimes I just make it up~! Haha.. It drives my boyfriend crazy sometimes because I just sing whatever I want to just as long as it sound more or like the same~! I used to study the lyrics of my favorite songs but now I just sing along until I memorize the song.. :P

Oh, I love to sing. I can't carry a tune in a bucket, because my bucket has a hole in it. LOL but I love to try. I sing my little heart out especially when I am driving down the road. It is so good for the spirit and so good to get me out of a "down and out" mood. I am really good at making up my own lyrics too, LOL but they sound soooo good to me. Have a great week.

Yep I sing along with my favorite songs. I may not sound very good but that doesn't stop me LOL. When I'm in the car by myself, I'll turn the music load if a favorite song comes on and sing right along with it. If someone else is in the car with me, I usually won't sing very much.

I sing along to any song that i know put me in a good mood. As for puting others in a good mood well i dont know about that i guess it depends on if they like my singing or not lol. I dont care what i sound like i know i love to do it and it makes me happy so that is all that counts.

I do it always when I'm alone because I've no voice to sing and I can't oblige other people to ear me or they will run away! :)

yes! I love to sing. And somehow our brains are wired to remember tunes more easily than lyrics. I'll just listen to the radio and when a fave song comes on and the circumstances are right (I'm not in the office and everyone is quiet) i'll belt it out. nothing quite stops me otherwise! hahahaha. my family and friends just have to get used to it. Or when I'm watching american idol or its local equivalent I'll just sing along too, sometimes wondering whether I'm better than the contestant! haha, that is only possible at the early stages I guess!

I do this all the time in my car. Whenever I hear a song that I like I will sing along and move my head to the music as well. It doesn't affect my ability to drive as I just love singing along to my favorite songs. If I have passengers, I will not sing as I would not want to hurt their eardrums or make them mad at me. LOL If I do not remember or understand the words, I will just hum.

Oh yes I love to sing along. I know at times there must be people in other cars that think I am needing some mental help as they pull up next to me at a stop light and watch me as I belt out the song. I have to admit I do laugh when I see I have been caught by another driver but I figure what the heck so just wave and keep singing. I love to sing.

Yes. I do sing along with the music i Love. But not with all the songs, and not at all the times. There are times, when I feel very happy and I happen to hear the music I love so much, during which I start to sing along. Also I dont want to get teased by friends, so I wont sing along, if Im among a group of people. Mostly I will sing along, if Im alone listening to the song I love.

Well, it does seem odd when you start singing especially when with a group of people that are mostly stranger to you. When I am in a situation like this and can't help it, I would still sing along albeit in a low voice.
