Shut the fuck up!

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.

It happens to be like this, unless the singing parts are beyond the crowd. For people to follow their songs they'll sing along. It's hard to imagine that they won't.

In my house I am the loudest and I guess most annoying singer. I love some of my music too much. My brother gets annoyed whenever I sing:

1) I randomly sing along to Mandarin sung songs (sometimes even Cantonese) when I don't have a clue what the words actually are.

2) I go into falsetto overkill (me doing Muse most likely)

3) my "power" singing, I am a fan of metal, I'm a baritone who can't hit many notes of some of my favourite singers so I hit some real high shrill awful sounding notes.

I just love singing but my voice is the shit, I can never really open it up, I always feel like I must sound like Mick McCarthy singing.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

When you train with a choir you work purely for that reason. I'm sure everyone wants to hit the right notes there'll be people who get a few notes wrong often there and then but it doesn't matter because it contributes to that wall of sound.

I don't know if it's that his voice sucks or he is hitting bum notes or whatever. I was in chorus for a short while but before I knew many who had been in a choir way back in primary school. There are many now at least a few years who aren't good at singing. Nothing wrong with chorus, but it hides your individual voice, and does not serve yourself to be your own singer.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
