for those of you who know you can't sing

[vital]

If you're out with your group of friends at a karaoke place or at someone's house with a karaoke machine, do you sing anyways?

 

[Leros]

I won't even sing in front of my close friends in private. Its been driving one of my friends nuts.

 

[compnovice]

I feel like Pavarotti ever since I heard this guy sing.

Now, I can sing anywhere

Thanks William Hung.

No.

1. I'd never be in a karaoke place
2. If by some unexplained act of insanity I was captrured by aliens, probed and brainwashed then later dumped at karaoke place... no.

What if you are meeting 5 girls...and their choice was the karaoke place?

I can usually sing pretty well when my vocal chords are broken in, but I'm limited to very few notes.

I sing mostly when I'm driving in my car, alone, with the windows up.

See #2. The girls would have to be aliens. Besides... five girls dragging a guy around guarantees no action. Now, one girl... that's a different story. But any girl who was dating me would know that K bars are off limits unless she plans on singing in some contest... in which case I'd watch.

I got no action with the 5 girls. I also met a couple of girls i know at a place a few times..because one of them is unbelieveably hot...and it's worth it. So yeah...i make my decisions based on the company...

See? Not only do you get no action from any of them... you get no action period because you're with them. The worst kind of double edge sword... Add to that you're with five chicks in a karaoke bar... there is probably a general assumption as to your sexual orientation.

There's just no upside no matter how you look at it.

 

[Stiganator]

Definitely. I normally will at bars and stuff purely for the free drinks involved. I did a few times at actual karaoke places in Taipei and Hong Kong, they are private and catered but a little bit spendy.

But I'm also a decent singer. (10 years of choir)

 

[Chronoshock]

I'm so completely tone deaf that I would never sing at a karaoke place. I only sing in front of my gf as a joke since we both know I suck at singing. Once I tried humming the windows shut down tone and I had to explain to my gf what it was since I was so off key. When I sing random oldies songs around her, she usually has me look up the song on youtube so she knows what its actually supposed to sound like.

What if you're at someone's home and they have a karaoke machine and everyone decides to sing?

 

[Moonbeam]

All my friends are dead. They laughed at my singing at a karaoke bar and I caved their heads in with an Ax.

Oh wait wait!

I chose friends that don't judge me by how well I sing. Yes, I like that story better.

I have discovered with years of experience that most folk would rather I sing badly than talk. For some reason I annoy then.

 

[PeeluckyDuckee]

Once I get comfortable and know them a little bit better I'll sing....and sing....and sing....they just can't shut me up at that point.....of no return

 

[CKent]

Even in a karaoke place I think I'd get kicked out for singing. It's really bad

 

[imported_Truenofan]

no, i will never sing in front of others unless i really really want to. and thats never.

Moonbeam in OT?

Back I say, to the depths of hell!


btw - when I sing, people drop to the floor holding their hands over their ears.

 

[D1gger]

It will never happen. I don't even sing happy birthday when I'm at a birthday party. I just move my lips to make it look like I am singing along, but I would never subject another human being to the awful noise that comes out of my mouth in a sad attempt at singing.

 

[moshquerade]

unfortunately it seems that most people who can't sing think they can.

This thread is kind of a shame, as I see in it just how much the American culture has changed in just a few generations. Prior to radio and TV, Americans' most popular evening pastime was to sing and play together around the piano (or guitar if the family was less affluent). Now everyone sees that as somehow creepy and compares their own (probably average quality) voices against those of freakishly talented and extensively trained popular artists.
I'll sing if it's in fun. My voice is decent enough that it won't make people put their hands over their ears but I know it's far from the best.

 

[hiromizu]

I'm the worst vocalist ever. I let my guitar do the singing.

Can't sing compared to what? Pavarotti? C'mon... lighten up. It's all good as long as it's in key and on time.
It takes a certain bravado to sing in public. You gotta put yourself into it in order to pull it off. The more you hold back, the worse you'll sound. I understand that some people sound terrible even when they're giving it their all, but hey you gotta give 'em some credit for trying.

karaoke inspires violence

nooooooooooo, i wasn't talking being Pavarotti-esque. i meant simply being able to sing on tune.

it does take a certain bravado to sing in public, and if you're talking karaoke, the "bravado" is usually obtained because the person is drunk. :beer:

so yeh, credit for trying.... to hurt my ears, and well, thanks for the laugh.
