What Kind of Singer Are You?

[ryan8472]

I inquire because I just tried kareoke (sp?) :lol: Enough said, right? Of course not. I won't disgrace Go Your Own Way, so I tried that song Just What I Needed by The Cars, another favorite. I thought it was ok (as there were no high notes to hit ;) ), but of course, with kareoke, hilarity ensues for no reason.....

Sorry for the story ;)

Anyways, what do YOU think of your singing voice?

[dissention]

I like my singing voice. :laugh:

I took lessons for years and did musicals in college. Tried out for a part at the Williamstown Festival one year and didn't get it (I did get to be a stagehand in '99, though! :lol: ), but the casting director gave me some very nice compliments and I still appreciate having heard them. :laugh: That's my true passion, though, performing. But I knew I could never succeed so I never really pursued it much.

[skcin]

I'm a really sucky singer, can't carry a tune at all. That doesn't stop me from doing karaoke after a few beers, though :laugh: Not that I'm at karaoke very often, but if I am, then Dreams, American Pie and Paradise by the Dashboard Light are my usuals.

[GypsySorcerer]

Nasally. :laugh:

I have a deep speaking voice, but when I sing it's a high-pitch. :shrug:

[ontheEdgeof17]

My voice sounds like I have snot in my throat. :p It sounds decent, though. lol

I did participate in choir in high school and was chosen for All-State. I was a bass/tenor. I haven't sang "professionally" in years. I just tend to belt it out in the shower and the car.....oh, and at concerts. :thumbsup:

[dissention]

I think my singing voice is pretty ugly. Very deep and masculine, vibratto, without much range. According to my friend who was in a prestigious choir for years, I'm a tenor who can actually sing on key. :shrug: I was in musicals in middle school until health problems prevented me from doing so. :shrug:

...The problem isn't so much the quality of my singing, it's GETTING ME TO SHUT UP! :lol:

Thank you, diss...I bought Welcome To The Wrecking Ball and Dreams on vinyl just based on the covers and the fact that Grace Slick is such an amazing singer with such an eccentric personality... :D

I suppose that someday, that day when I have the time to take up the piano or the guitar, I will get to know my voice. Now, there was an African American gentleman seated behind me in San Jose...He could really sing! He seemed to be the only other person there who knew the lyrics to every single song, besides me. This guy was so in love with Stevie, too...Kept talking about how beautiful and classy she was.

It really was pretty funny...Stevie's family, seated in front of us, kept looking back at him and laughing. Her brother (Chris?) looked like he was rather bored by the entire thing, though. One of her relatives, looked almost like Lori Nicks to me, looked back at me sympathetically when I cried during "Sara"...And, I know these people were of the Nicks family because the teenage girl in front of us proudly told us so and was calling out "Steeeevieeeeee" constantly.

Best of all: Miss Nicks knew where her family was seated, so several times she shook her tambourine at them and smiled very very warmly. I swear, it looked as if she was looking straight at me, but I know that she was smiling at her family...

My, this turned into rambling fairly quickly. Good times...

Oy. It's late and I'm emotionally drained....pardon my bad humor.

----------

Anyway I LOVE to sing - and used to do it quite regularly in high school - like in the halls and on band trips (I must have been SO obnoxious and I'm pretty sure if I were to run into high school me now - I'd hate me)

Anyway - once in a speech class I for some reason started singing Spoon Full of Sugar and other various songs from Mary Poppins and Sound of Music - and the class actually started making requests...lol - they said I sounded SO good - that was my shining moment...

Now I don't know what happened after that - but I"ve been unable to sing in public ever since. I completely freeze. I mean I freeze...nothing comes out of my mouth...

When I was in a band we did few covers but I convinced the guitarist to try out the Apartment Song - so he agreed as long as I'd sing with him - I agreed - then at the performance I turned my mic off ---I just couldn't do it in front of people...:shrug:

SO anyway - if I try really hard my singing voice is alright - but I do have to try very hard to stay on key and such....mostly I just sing loudly and badly to the radio :nod:

[Johnny Stew]

I think I sound reedy, and nasally. I greatly dislike my singing voice. Despite the fact that I used to sing in the school choir, and have gotten some compliments on my singing from various people... but I tend to think people are just being nice. :laugh:

Mind you, that doesn't stop me one bit, because I LOVE to sing and would rather sing and sound terrible than not sing at all.

uh, me, too. :laugh: Naw, i like my singing voice, and i've taken singing lessons for a few years, and, of course, choir. Of course my belt is better than my "good" singing voice, and i use it loudly and often. But still, i'm a better mimic then a good ear, ie, I can't always bust out a harmony on the first try, but i can definitely learn anything, and eventually manage to come up with some kind of harmony. My favorite songs to sing are stevie, I like her improv yowling the best. But my favorite hard song to sing is probably...Crazy. But, basically, i sing all the time, constantly, and wish i was much better... :laugh: I'm still heartbroken from the time I tried out for Cabaret, and my singing teacher, who hated me, told the director she didn't think my voice could handle it. :distress: My big stage voice is way better than my other voice...I still hate that lady... :lol:

[Johnny Stew]

I love your signature. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Isn't it the greatest?? Everytime I see it, it reminds me of my favorite Grace Slick moment: that part in "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now," where she says... in this wickedly insane voice... "Let 'em say we're CRAY-ZAH!" :lol:

[Johnny Stew]

Maybe I'm just tired, but that was hysterical!

You've got the idea, Brian! That's my philosophy too.
Sadly for me (and those who have to endure my "singing"), by the time the option of going to karaoke rears its frightening head, it's late in the night and my voice is already half-gone from trying to talk over loud music.

Mine is, well actually there are two :laugh: - the first being when she was so "marinated" at a concert in Germany (she really did not like the Germans :laugh: ) - she sang, I think, "White Rabbit" WAY off key and in the middle of the song sat down on the stage and started to remind the crowd that "WE WON THE WAR!!!" :eek:

The second is when she hauled out down her driveway a few years ago with a shotgun hunting a phanton menance :laugh: - can you say FLASHBACK :eek: :laugh:

But, I digress, I have a HUGE stage voice. I also have a pretty and soft harmony voice.

[GateandGarden]

I LOVE to sing. The last time I did it for lots of people was high school when I was in All-Parish Choir. (I didn't get to do All-State like Curtis :p ). I'm very fond of my singing voice, and I always get complimented on it when I use it, except for when I use it around people who are really close to me, 'cause they're really sick of it at this point. I used to really dislike my voice because it's really folk/opera-sounding, and when I was in high school, I wanted to sing like Christina Aguilera. I really wanted to ditch the operettic qualities and sing like the big pop singers. Earlier on in high school, I was hell bent on sounding just like my Britney Spears CDs (I was officially insane!), but I made "Baby One More Time" sound like a selection from The Phantom of the Opera. Thankfully, I got through that phase without hurting myself.

We had a karaoke thing at my university last year, and I had a blast. The DJ had "Say You Love Me" and "You Make Lovin' Fun." I performed both of them, and I don't think even one of my peers had ever heard either one of them.

[estranged4life]

of person who is always singin' as they commute to work/shop/etc. It's a form of relaxation for me to sing along to whatever cd I am playing (Loudly) at that moment.

My 2 favorite singers that I sing along to while driving are Freddie Mercury & Andi Deris (Helloween)...I would try to sing along to King Diamond's falsetto wail but I would probably explode the veins in my neck trying to hit those damn high notes :shrug:

[seeker007nmss]

Due to a constitutional Amendment, I am no longer aloud to sing in any of the 50 states. The UN is also looking into adding it to the Geneva Convention. I think that sums up on how I sing. Thank You.

[sparky]

I love to sing, though I am not nearly the singer I would like to be. Tragically a baritone, who can't sing high tenor to save my life. It just doesn't happen. I do okay. I took lessons for a long time, did the whole musical thing in high school and college, and did a few operas while in college. Only a chorus member, but it was fun.
My voice has gotten deeper with age, and that has been fun to play with. Thankfully, the high end isn't shredded, though I can't falsetto anymore. Never really could with any power. It always sounded silly anyway. I have enough range to sing comfortably in two solid octaves, so that is better than a stick in the eye. The good thing about Stevie now is that I can sing almost all of her parts in her new recordings. Except for a few notes in "Smile at You" that is. :laugh:

I love singing Bon Jovi songs karaoke. I do a mean "Wanted Dead Or Alive". But the chorus in "Livin' On A Prayer" leaves me in the dirt. Have to go low. :distress:

My favorite singers to sing along with are Ann Wilson and Trisha Yearwood, becase they are so all over the place, range wise. It is a hoot to sing their stuff in different octaves and play with the harmonies. Singing a bass range harmony off Ann's soprano is tons of fun.

[dissention]

The only song I've tried to sing and had a bitch of a time doing so is "Lush Life." Hardest. Song. Ever. I was drained by the time it ended and sucked badly. :laugh:

I, and very stupidly, applied to Juilliard when I was 20 because I thought I had had taken enough classes and been in enough productions to at least be considered. Obviously not. :laugh: I still have the rejection letter, telling me I needed a bit more experience. I was happy, though, because there was no way I could have ever afforded it or even finished the audition. I would have had a stroke during it. :laugh:

[ryan8472]

Aww, no one likes their singing voice except Diss. Then again, when does anyone ever try really hard at kareoke? :p Aside from the Cars last night, I *attempted* to sing Call Me by Blondie :laugh: . And, even though I was quite off key, I still got a good laugh from everyone :nod: :laugh: . That's what counts, right? :rolleyes:

aww... :) I don't know the song lush life, but i'm curious as to what could be the hardest song evah! It's good that you applied to Julliard, I think. Better than if you didn't try. :thumbsup: I think i was better at acting then singing, but you can't just go around acting every day. Which reminds me, I hated being around theatre people. They always wanted attention, and were always acting! It was gross. I'm like, "do you have to be another character, or burst into song, just when we're talking? Can you have a normal conversation as yourself?" :rolleyes: Uh, apropos of nothing...

Queen Latifah does a fantastic version of Lush Life on the Living Out Loud soundtrack, as does Natalie Cole on "Unforgettable." :nod: It's strenuous to sing. My stomach hurt after I did it. :laugh: I'm a very theatrical person, anyways.

I applied for the acting program, not the music one. It just so happened that I had done musicals and taken voice lessons (it was my grandmother's friend who gave them to me, but she died when I was 16 and that was it). I did a lot of community theater, too, along with the college productions. That's why I was hoping that I could possibly get a role during the Williamstown Festival. But, alas, I didn't.

It depresses me to talk about, though, because while I love my job for many reasons, it's not what I want to do. Given the opportunity to study acting or find ways to incororate ugly duvet covers, I'm going to go with acting. I'm still bitter over all of it. :laugh:

And I want mass love, anyways. :p

hahaha- YES!! I Totally know what you're talking about - I was in theater briefly - but was SO annoyed by the hardcore folks...I couldn't take it...

BUT I also have the same beef with chorus kids - I remember in high school we had to go on a duel band/chorus trip - those bastards sang the ENTIRE time....sang sang sang...all the time...finally people were yelling at them, "YES! We know you can sing - now shut UP!!!" hahha...

but...I think in high school I was super obnoxious in my own way...:nod:

It seems the theater folk from my old college never outgrew the constant acting thing...my best friend is a theater major - even he gets ticked at people like that....

:laugh: :laugh: yep, so glad you know what i'm talking about! I wanted to be an actress, but a film actress. I always imagined some of the film actors maybe weren't as obnoxious in that special "look at me!" way. Plus, I always preferred film style acting, it's more subtle, just in the eyes and that. I don't care for "big acting" that the theatre produces. I like subtle nuance... :) More...what's going on inside your head, than what's coming out of your mouth :laugh:

But, maybe i'm lucky, people have been watching me all my life, also cause i was in so many sports, in addition to performing. so maybe i actually got most of my fill... :shrug:

And since I'm having a torrid affair with the director, I frequently get him to cut more and more of your lines out of the script. At the premiere, it's noted by the audience that you only have 27 minute sonscreen, while I have 92. When asked by an inquisitive reporter about you and your presence, I can be over heard exclaiming "I wouldn't sit on his toilet." :xoxo:

Our marriage would last shorter than Merman's marriage to Borgnine. ;) :cool:
Yeah, cause i don't have to try as hard to get my attention. You'd be soooo frustrated.... :laugh:

Too bad for you my father is Aaron Spelling, who owns the studio where you will NEVER work again, and I have just contracted you to marry my sister Tori :eek: See where THAT gets ya :wavey:

It got me pretty far, actually, considering that I weaseled my way out of signing a prenup and Tori's looseness came in handy during divorce proceedings. :xoxo:

And I am far too popular and in-demand with the big studios to make ****ty nighttime soaps for Spelling Entertainment. But you might as well make the best of your ****ty career as Poolboy #4 on the sixth episode of "Hootchie Nights." :wavey:

Hello - I am talking about our BROADWAY performance of "Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf" - I, of course, am playing Martha :eek: "She was a housewife - she bought things!!!!!"

Of course to let Diss. have the line "All I said was that our son, the apple of our three eyes, Martha being a cyclops, our son is a beanbag, and you get testy!"

Memorable Quotes from
Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1966)
Martha: I swear to GOD George, if you even EXISTED I'd divorce you.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Honey: I dance like the wind.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Martha: Look, sweetheart, I can drink you under any goddamn table you want, so don't worry about me.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Honey: Oh, I don't know, a little brandy maybe. "Never mix, never worry!"
George: Martha? Rubbing alcohol for you?
Martha: Sure! "Never mix, never worry!"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Martha has changed into an embarrassingly tight and revealing outfit]
George: Why Martha! Your Sunday chapel dress!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Martha: I hope that was an empty bottle, George! You can't afford to waste good liquor, not on YOUR salary!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
George: All I said was that our son, the apple of our three eyes, Martha being a cyclops, our son is a beanbag, and you get testy!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Honey: They dance like they've danced before.
George: It's a familiar dance, monkey nipples, they both know it.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Martha: You make me puke.
George: That wasn't a very nice thing to say, Martha.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
George: Martha, in my mind you're buried in cement right up to the neck. No, up to the nose, it's much quieter.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nick: To you, everybody's a flop. Your husband's a flop, I'm a flop.
Martha: You're all flops. I am the Earth Mother, and you are all flops.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nick: I'm tired, I've been drinking since nine o'clock, my wife is vomiting, there's been a lot of screaming going on around here!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
George: So you get testy, naturally, don't worry about it! Anybody who comes here ends up getting testy, it's expected. Don't be upset.
Nick: I'm not upset.
George: You're testy.
Nick: Yes.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
George: Martha is 108... years old. She weighs somewhat more than that.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nick: Who did the painting?
George: Some Greek with a moustache that Martha attacked one night.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
George: Martha, will you show her where we keep the, uh, euphemism?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
George: Vanish!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Martha: I disgust me. You know, there's only been one man in my whole life who's ever made me happy. Do you know that?
[pause]
Martha: George, my husband... George, who is out somewhere there in the dark, who is good to me - whom I revile, who can keep learning the games we play as quickly as I can change them. Who can make me happy and I do not wish to be happy. Yes, I do wish to be happy. George and Martha: Sad, sad, sad. Whom I will not forgive for having come to rest; for having seen me and having said: yes, this will do.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
George: You take the trouble to construct a civilization, to build a society based on the principles of... of principle. You make government and art and realize that they are, must be, both the same. You bring things to the saddest of all points, to the point where there is something to lose. Then, all at once, through all the music, through all the sensible sounds of men building, attempting, comes the Dies Irae. And what is it? What does the trumpet sound? Up yours.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
George: I'm very impressed.
Martha: You're damn right.
George: I said I was impressed. I'm beside myself with jealousy. What do you want me to do, throw up?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Martha: [derogatorily, to George] Hey, swamp! Hey swampy!
George: Yes, Martha? Can I get you something?
Martha: Ah, well, sure. You can, um, light my cigarette, if you're of a mind to.
George: No. There are limits. I mean, a man can put up with only so much without he descends a rung or two on the old evolutionary ladder, which is up your line. Now, I will hold your hand when it's dark and you're afraid of the boogeyman and I will tote your gin bottles out after midnight so no one can see but I will not light your cigarette. And that, as they say, is that.
Martha: Jesus.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nick: [to Honey] We'll go in a little while.
George: Oh no. No, you mustn't. Martha is changing, and Martha is not changing for me, Martha hasn't changed for me in years. If Martha is changing, that means we're going to be here for days. You're being accorded an honor, and you mustn't forget that Martha is the daughter of our beloved boss. She is his right... arm. I was going to use another word, but we'll leave that sort of talk to Martha.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[George takes a corner far too fast, tossing everyone in the car from side to side. Pause]
Martha: Aren't you going to apologize?
George: Not my fault, the road should've been straight.
Martha: No, aren't you going to apologize for making Honey throw up?
George: I didn't make her throw up.
Martha: What, you think it was handsome there? You think he made his own wife throw up?
George: Well, you make me throw up.
Martha: That's different.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Martha: Hey!
George: Hark! Jungle sounds.
Martha: Hey!
George: Animal noises.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
George: You're a monster - You are.
Martha: I'm loud and I'm vulgar, and I wear the pants in the house because somebody's got to, but I am not a monster. I'm not.
George: You're a spoiled, self-indulgent, willful, dirty-minded, liquor-ridden...
Martha: SNAP! It went SNAP! I'm not gonna try to get through to you any more. There was a second back there, yeah, there was a second, just a second when I could have gotten through to you, when maybe we could have cut through all this, this CRAP. But it's past, and I'm not gonna try.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Martha: I looked at you tonight and you weren't there... And I'm gonna howl it out, and I'm not gonna give a damn what I do and I'm gonna make the biggest god-damn explosion you've ever heard.
George: Try and I'll beat you at your own game.
Martha: Is that a threat George, huh?
George: It's a threat, Martha.
Martha: You're gonna get it, baby.
George: Be careful Martha. I'll rip you to pieces.
Martha: You're not man enough. You haven't the guts.
George: Total war.
Martha: Total.

Probably my favorite movie of all time. Elizabeth Taylor at her best and Richard Burton never got to do this kind of material.

Years and years ago, my once-upon-a-time over-the-hill faded-flower fag hag (she was a department store print ad model in the 1970/71 floral-print-dresses/large floppy-sundress-hat era) and I went to the Beverly Theatre to see this movie on revival screen. She had a HUGE purse with a big ole jug-o'-wine in it. Needless to say this was before the era of 9/11 patdowns and bag searches.

For those who haven't seen this movie- this is the best way I recommend to view it... :laugh: :laugh:

[DeadliestPoison]

Oh God. I only sing when I'm home alone. I sound okay sometimes, but other times? Watch out.

I can do a bitchin' RAL, though. Woot. I can sing just about anything on that album, live style. :laugh: :thumbsup:

[macmar71]

Very adaptive to certain styles and certain songs. I have a rather low pitch which I have been told is pleasent but there are definitely songs and notes beyond my range that I steer clear of.

[SuzeQuze]

I really love singing but I have horrendous stage fright. One time I was singing karaoke and forgot the words to Stand f-ing Back. I couldn't believe it. I also couldn't read the words cuz my brain was frozen with fear.

However, in more recent years I have become a little more comfortable so now I can at least get the words out up there. I recently did Soak up the Sun while out with Mom and the aunts, I had a good time with it, it's a fun song anyway. But my higher register was blown out from screaming for everyone, plus you can still smoke in NH and it was smokey. However, when I was done my Mom said, "You did good and you looked so pretty up there." :shocked:

At home I like to sing, and in the car. I haven't been singing all that much lately. I could never be a singing star because of my panic and the fact that my voice is somewhat delicate, I don't think it would hold up very well on tour. But still, that was a dream of mine for a long time. Perhaps I will sing publicly at some point but it's okay that I won't be a star.

I've had people compliment me on my singing al ot of times. I was asked to sing with a singer friend of mine but she was too crazy to be able to follow through. And I was too crazy to do it on my own. I had a friend tell me I HAD to sing, what was I doing? That was very flattering. Once I got to sing Dreams with a band at a party, that was a total trip. They knew the harmonies and sung along and that's when I could relax and enjoy. Later on my friend said it totally brought him back to high school and listening to that song with his friends, it was such a trip! I really enjoy singing with others.

Last year I got a karaoke machine for Christmas and it has been so much fun!

Sorry for the term paper here but I am passionate about this subject, having been a closet singer for 18 years! :nod:

[WelshWitchPMD]

I never ever sing along to songs. I don't know why, either.

I did try Karoke with a few other people from work one night. We sang "Feel Like a Woman" it was kind of fun ,too. I had people tell me that I sounded good and I looked like a real performer up there. LOL OK whatever.
I would never do it alone however.


I use to be in the choir in middle school but that was many years ago.

Amber, dear, have you seen Birth? Kidman AND Bacall couldn't save that dog. You could see the microphones and crewpeople in several scenes, the editing was so horrid. Kidman's stock has fallen. :laugh:
-Justin
No. I rarely see kidman movies on purpose. I can't believe you could see the mics and crew people! :laugh: And i think I said that, since my scenes were cut from our movie, it tanked... :lol: :wavey:

Well, thank God! They replaced all of your scenes with dribble like that five-minute shot of her husband running and then eventually dying. You made the right choice by dumping that project, Ms. Ghidossi.

I hate to change the topic, but here's a really brief question: When it comes to Stevie songs (esp. Stand Back), do you twirl when you sing along? :p :shocked: :laugh: I do, I admit that (I can't IMAGINE how I must look) :laugh: No doubt lots do, this being The Ledge and all :p

Great, five minute running, dying shots. Sounds enthralling. :D
That's too bad, i thought that movie would be better. But i meant, a different theoretical movie i was in with them... :rolleyes: uh, Strand said they cut all my scenes, then i said, that's why the movie tanked, etc. It was stupid at the time... :p

I don't twirl, cause i'm not very good at it. plus, my frontroom is small. I mainly sing my ass off, and make pained, tortured faces. But I dip/swirl/dance/splay my skirt along with the gypsy video...

HELLO - of course I do. AND - I have a special high kick I do while vacuuming to Everybody Finds Out - It is during that little trill in the end part. LOVE HER!!!!! :cool: :laugh: :eek:

Why is this not hard to picture at all? :thumbsup:

Basically, when I sing along (by myself or in kareoke type situations), I always try and do the moves Stevie did on stage. Yes, I have studied the Red Rocks DVD :shocked: :laugh: Geez, maybe I AM gay? :laugh:

Well, did that pic of the guy with abs that Tower posted give you a fire in your belly. If so, it may be time to reassess :laugh:

Also, I think dancing wildly if not in a frenetic way to La Nicks is not a sign of sexual identity - I think the Nicksian moves transcend gender identification :laugh: :laugh:

Only if you sleep with men. :D gotta hand it to ya, when i'm dancing, the booty just takes over...prescripted moves take a lot longer...

What in the hell did I just walk into??? :laugh: Ahhh...sorry Diss but I think Jason kicks your fabulous coin-bouncing booty as far as celebrity goes :p He'll sing his ass off to anyone at any time, any place (sober and drunk). I was even serenaded on my birthday :nod: :xoxo:

I've been singing for years and years. I've been in a few musicals and have received a few awards. The choral teacher I had in high school wanted me to try out for All State but I ended up with bronchitis and so that went out the window (thank God...I hate NJ All State). As far as pursuing it full time as a career, I have no ambition to be a solo artist at all. I think being a backing vocalist would be the most amazing career ever and I love to write songs so I wouldn't mind writing for other people...but then again i'm not sure how i would feel hearing someone else sing my words :shrugs:

:shocked: :lol: That's awesome...anyway...

Back to the original topic - I love to sing. I am constantly singing - my family always tells me to shut the hell up :rolleyes: I think my voice sounds a bit like Bono, except of course I don't have the range. When he hits the really high notes it's not happening for me. LOL. I also have quite a bit of vibrato when I sing - I don't know if this is from singing along with Stevie and subconciously imitating her, or if it's natural :laugh:

I would LOVE to sing in a band, but I'm a chicken.

I do a little Stevie dancing on the side if I'm by myself. But not TOO much.

[SuzeQuze]

I never ever sing along to songs. I don't know why, either.

I did try Karoke with a few other people from work one night. We sang "Feel Like a Woman" it was kind of fun ,too. I had people tell me that I sounded good and I looked like a real performer up there. LOL OK whatever.
I would never do it alone however.


I use to be in the choir in middle school but that was many years ago.

See, you're a natural performer! :laugh: I've done that one with my girlfriends too, it's really fun. My friend Marcie is a great singer and it is fun to do her backup parts. It's much more fun to sing with pp than alone on stage.

There's no room in my current room to twirl :distress: Back in the day though when I lived with my parents and had a gigantic room I would turn down the lights, burn some incense, put on the Stevie, grab a shawl and go to town!!! Hehe, lalalalalalalalalaaaaa doo doooo... :D

P.S. More on topic for this thread, earlier today I sang along to "Love In Store" and it actually sounded quite nice to me. :)

Oh, word. I ALWAYS have to dance around and stuff when I'm butchering Stevie songs, yo. I wouldn't have it any other way.

And hence why I only sing along when I'm home alone. God forbid someone walk in on me mid-twirl. :eek: :eek:

Honey, I could totally stand to do that again :nod: :p

[Janet]

Remember what the doormouse said...FEED YOUR HEAD! FEED YOUR HEAD! FEED YOUR HEAD


**** It's funny, because I always sing this song in kareoke. I am ok I guess, I always get compliments and sometimes they light their lighters LOL ( I have sung this for kareoke for like 6 years)

I also like to sing Pat Benatar, Jewel, Fiona Apple...it's all in fun. I'm ok.
Not great...:(

I get to be Stevie :cool: :wavey: And after that, we can both go solo, with you on 'Love In Store, and me on Boys Of Summer :shocked: :laugh:

On a similar note, I really want to sing the song Sex (I'm A...) by Berlin, with this girl I like :p :laugh: I don't think she'd agree to sing the lyrics though.

"Feel the fire, feel my love inside you it's so right
There's the sound and the smell of love in my mind
I'm a toy, come and play with me, say the word now
Wrap your legs around mine and ride me tonight

I'm a man - I'm a goddess
I'm a man - Well I'm a virgin
I'm a man - I'm a blue movie
I'm a man - I'm a bitch
I'm a man - I'm a geisha
I'm a man - I'm a little girl
And we make love together..."
