Shut the fuck up!

You know, one of the things that really gets on my nerves is people that sing along to songs. Maybe because nine times out of ten they can´t sing worth a fuck. Does this get on your nerves? Are you a sing along type?

I made a thread like this a few years ago because my friend was driving me up the wall with his singing Evanescence songs in the car. Now my niece is a pretty famous singer here in town but, unfortunately, her two younger sisters and brother think it runs in the family and sing too. SHIT.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I sing along a lot of the time, actually, but I'm not half-bad. My falsetto is off, so the high notes make me sound like a breathy little girl. I have a great ear for music in general, though.

On the other hand, my friend is entirely tone-deaf, and he likes to sing along with stuff, which can get annoying when I'm in the car with him.

Do what I do: only in the car, and no one is riding with you.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I dont often sing along. I'm definitely not a bad singer, as singing is half my job.
When I do sing along, it's usually when I'm alone, in a "rock out " mood, or if its joking around.

I once went through the halls of high school singing "You Light Up My Life" as a gag.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I hate it when people sing. I can just barely stand my girlfriend's singing. Like Star Man, I only sing alone in the car.

Most amazing jew boots

Nope, I've never been good with singing so I don't do it. Anyone who does I want to kill as well.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I hate that, too. I just want to enjoy the song, not your terrible rendition of it.

How ya doing, buddy?

That reminds me that my sister has to sing along with every damn song she listens to while doing anything. She sounds like some puberty stricken thirteen year old, admits to it, but keeps singing anyways. Makes me want to duct tape her mouth shut.

I rarely sing along with songs, but if tempted to, ensure that no one can hear me. It's common sense.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Is there something about sisters and bad singing that go hand in hand? My little sister loves to sing. Unfortunately, she doesn't realize that she sucks at singing and none of the church people will tell her otherwise. She will blare her country/christian/pop music and sing to it on her kareoke machine. I even recorded her lame version of "Genie in a Bottle" and made her listen to it. She just walked away and she's in denial. She wants to major in music and become a singer after she finishes her community college degree in Education.

I don't like it when people sing to songs b/c I buy a CD for the original singer. I rarely sing to songs b/c I can only harmonize in alto and not sing well by myself in my opinion. I only sing if I'm alone or trying to prove to people on-line that I can not sing.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

If I hear a song with an instrument fancy, my fingers tend to kinda twitch/move as if I were playing it. This is the case in points where I have no idea how to use the instrument and wave my finger like a metronome, or I actually pluck my fingers like I'm legitimately playing it. I'll mumble a song under my breath if it's real catchy or whistle it. But ONLY if I'm on my own.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I actually don't mind my friends singing along, if not only because it usually ends up being pretty hilarious. Most of them aren't too bad at it though, and a couple have even been in choir. I personally am not a horrible singer, but I never know the lyrics and even if I did I'd be too embarrassed to sing along.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

as a musician my self (piano) people have different talents here and there for art music or what ever but to tell them you suck or just stop it that's pretty much makes them fell bad about them self and might even stop doing it with a lot of practice and determinations anything is possible

Twice ever, I got involved in a three-headed singing game (the one from "Whose Line Is It Anyway?"). It was awful, but freaking hilarious.

But other than that, I don't know many people who sing when they can't. Actually, I don't know many people that sing along to stuff that's playing other than my brother, who's singing is tolerable though the stuff he's listening to anyway sometimes isn't.

How ya doing, buddy?

I love to sing along to songs that I like. But I don't lie to myself and think that I am a good singer, which is why the only time I do any singing is when I am alone in my car, with the volume up high enough that I can't hear myself. Because I don't really enjoy listening to my bad singing either.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

There was a little girl in my son's church choir who was so very tone deaf, it was embarrassing. Of course she had no idea, because if she did, she wouldn't be tone deaf, right? So she always sang as loudly as she could and usually ended up drowning everyone out. The choir director started placing her in the back of the group, but you could still hear her over everyone else.

What a tough situation to be in.

FELIPE NO

The only time I feel it is appropriate to sing along is either when I'm with someone or someones who I know don't mind or when I'm alone. How young are the other two nieces? Depending upon the age, it makes perfect sense for them to mimic their older sister. That's how I started singing along to music. My dad and sister did so. Since one person does it and no one objects, your nieces are undoubtedly presuming it to be okay. This is especially true if they don't know that they're bad singers.

What I find annoying is when people, like my brother, turn on the radio and then do nothing but talk. If a song comes on the radio that I either like or haven't heard before, I usually can't tell what the lyrics are and sometimes even what all instruments are being used...

LOL, amen about the wife/girlfriend thing. I do agree that telling people to stop or that they suck might hinder what could possibly become better with practice, but my little sister has been practicing since she could talk and has been practicing profesionally since she was in 6th grade (almost 8 years). However, she's like the rest of my family and we don't have voices that sound good when sung. There are just some voices, where if they're not harmonized/blended with other voices, they don't sound good...no matter how much the person practices.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I only sing along with my mom in the car. Never have I encountered a friend who sang in the car though. And I only sing when I'm alone. But I would imagine that it would be very annoying.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

My sister drives me out of my fucking mind when she just bursts into song out of the blue. She always sings extremely loud, like she wants everyone to hear it, and her voice has grown to be aggravating. She can sing okay, I guess. Her voice might sound better/worse to someone who isn't used to hearing it all the time. My least favorite is when she starts singing Snake Eater (yes, SNAKE EATER) out of the blue. What kind of 22 year old black woman just starts singing Snake Eater out of the blue. Usually I go and do something to stop her like slap her on the face... Lightly. Sometimes that just makes it worse, though.

Almost everyone I know does it, and it annoys the hell out of me. And a lot of them try and get me to sing along too, which doesn't work for several reasons. First, I want to hear the music, not myself. Second, I'm an awful singer, and I know it, and they don't want to hear me. Third, I can't understand 99% of lyrics as it is, so I wouldn't know what the hell to sing along with.

I took my girlfriend to a Colplay concert a few months back because she likes them. For some reason, during every song, half the crowd felt the need to sing along, drowning out Chris Martin's voice. Why the hell would people pay $30 (or whatever tickets were) if they're not gonna listen to the band they're paying to hear? I certainly didn't pay to hear a bunch of tone deaf people shouting as loud as they could. If I'm paying to hear someone, I'd want to hear them.

I never sing along in front of others, especially because I know it'll probably bug them. I haven't heard anyone sing along to a song on the radio which is fortunate, because I'm pretty sure it would bug me as well. I also think that I if I were to sing along to something, I would probably think I'm in tune, but I probably wouldn't be, and random note falters would add to the hilarity.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I second this. Sometimes, there's nothing quite so fun as turning up the music really high in the car and singing along, so that it feels like you're actually singing well, even though you're not.

This is a strictly me-and-my-car, alone, sort of thing.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Meh, I kinda gets on my nerves when someone starts to sing along or even hymm along, but if they are good at singing, then I don't really seem to care. However.............. I sign along when no one is around me.

FELIPE NO

I sing along when noone's around me, or when I'm sure that noone else can hear me.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

well I'm not actually singing to the song but just doing some lyps-synch with the singer, so In that way I still can enjoy the music and I'm not bothering anyone else XD

but yeah I too don't really like other people singing along to a songs, especially if they whistle to the song >.<
