Shut the fuck up!

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.

even more when the persone is your wife or girlfriend

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.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Bad singer + Good choir = Delusion that you can sing

I really don't know where I was going with that.

At my school, there are only 2 choirs--advance choir and women's choir--my sister was in women's choir until her senior year. You have to audition to get into women's choir...if you're a female. However, men are automatically accepted into advance choir even if they sound horrible b/c they have so very few men.

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