Singing in public

I would absolutely love to sing in front of people. But I don't think I ever would outside my mind. I thought I could sing once...though I knew it was only with certain songs. (I have since discovered I sing lower and in the key of A so I can only sing with some songs and sound half way decent.) Well, there was one song I would sing quite loudly for my boys because I loved the song and I thought I was right in tune with the artist. But, one night my husband says "no need to scare the neighbors" and I *think* he was saying I was too loud but I have never asked him because I guess I don't really want to know. And then there was the time the kid in front of me in church was looking at me weird- not even sure if I was singing at the time or not...but I could have been and it was strange and has always made me wonder. lol Family and friends are untrustworthy when in comes to this- how many awful singers on idol have said their family and friends said they were great and they should try out?!? I often wonder if they're family/friends are that cruel or just didn't know how to tell them they were bad. I hope they just didn't know how to say it...but good grief! Sorry you had a horrible experience. What happened?

I think that if i were ask by someone that i really loved and cared about alot and it really meant that much to them then i would defiently do it...but it would just be because i loved and cared about them and wanted to do it just to make them happy..it surely wouldn't be to make myself happy..because it wouldn't at all...

i hate doing anything in public, but my daughter is much braver than me becuase she sings in public every week (at our church).

I don't have a good voice in order to sing. I've already tried but I think singing is not for me. How much more if sing in public with your love one. I would not dare do it, maybe dancing could do the trick.
