Can You Sing? Do You Believe You Can Sing When Others Say You Cant? Do You Care?

I love to sing all the time, but I personally think I'm really bad. I get very mixed responses, some people say I'm very good, and other people tell me to shut up. In all honesty, I don't care, and I will sing at the top of my lungs no matter whether I'm good, bad, or down-right glass-shatteringly horrific. It makes me smile. Do you enjoy singing? and would it bother you if someone told you you were bad at it? Or are you really good, and have awards and such like?

I have a pretty good voice, but no where near as good as it was when I was in high school. When I started smoking, it really did hurt my siging voice. My family all says I am a good singer, so, it can't be too bad!! love to sing along with the radio, bt when it comes to singing karaoke or somthing like that, I get a bit self conscious. If I screw up while singing along with the radio, it isn't qute as noticable. I don't have any awards. The closest I got was a solo in high school that I never got to perform because I had to move right before the concert! However, I would have graduated with honors in choir had I not had to move when I did.

I must say, I always sing along to the radio, especially when its LOUD, that way, no one has any idea how bad I am :p When I sing without music I assume I sound awful, because I do in my head :p

well, i`m just like you. I don`t care so much if they really love how i sing, or not, but the most, really love when i sing something. I remember that i was at my ex-girlfriend birthday, and there were a lot of old relatives and all singed so bad, and almost they forgot to sing her too, they singed only for her mom( she and her mom are born on the same day). When they finished, i begun to sing HAPPY BIRTHDAY, and they singed with me,, but they were so low... When i didn`t singed at all, they were stopped, and when i started again ,they begun again lauder. My girl was so proud , and happy, and she told me that she will never forget me for that little thing that i`ve done then.

That really is lovely, I think even if your not the best singer ever if you do it for someone special it doesn't matter how bad you are. But I imagine if you managed to get everyone else to sing too, then you must be quite talented!

I am a really bad at singing too. Whenever I went to Karoake, I was afraid to pick the mike up. I am afraid of embarrassing, you know. Well, if you think that you have a such talent, don't be afraid to show it off. Take what it gets, sing it outloud.

I always do! I honestly think I must be terrible but it just makes me so happy to sing! And my boyfriend also tells me I have an unatural ability to remember the lyrics to every song :p

People usually thinks that he is a great singer and can sing even better than the singer of the song himself.But the fact is known only by the one who listens to him/her.I also sing,,but i am just a bathroom singer because like you,,i also think that i am not good at singing.But i still m happy and joyous when i sing and i don't care what others think about my voice.And If i come to know that the person is irritated because of me,,i stop screaming...!!

I am a good singer who never songs. Sometimes I sing to myself and feel I should be singing to an audience instead-I hope it is not too late-one day I will be self styled musician.

I believe Everybody can sing. It is about using the instrument you have. I sing in a coire. It is fun and really nice way of exersising. Every monday I go to practice and once in a while we do sing in a consert. Practice and knowing the technique is all you need in order to sing. It is not just artist or singers or musicans...anyone can sing if You just do it.

I love music and I love to sing. I know I can carry a tune but I also know that I am not good. It usually takes me a lot of effort before I can be made to sing in front of a crowd, but once I get the hang of it, I can't be stopped. I do care for my listeners especially when I start to croak LOL, but I also think that I should be appreciated for my efforts. I also think that singing is a personal thing -- as long as you enjoy it, then just keep on doing it!!!
