Thread Name: Who can't sing? - 2011
Subject: RE: Who can't sing? - 2011
Shallow me would rather hear someone with a good voice but no emotion singing rather than someone with great emotion and sincerity but a bad voice. Now if someone had an OK voice that would be different. But bad voices hurt my ears. I can't help it. I think it is great if they sing and have fun but there is a time and a place for it. Like there is a time and a place for poor baseball players like myself to play baseball...I would ruin a real game. Some bad voices can ruin a real group singing. If they are bad and very quiet they can be absorbed but sometimes they are bad and loud and love the spotlight. There should be spotlights for them. I don't know a way around this. Sometimes there is a group I would love to sing with and one person can wreck it. I could name names. This is my hobby and I like music for the sound of it, not the emotion, not the group spirit. The sound. If the sound is off I do not enjoy it period. Although I would be glad to meet separately with people for the purpose of supporting unpleasant sounding people. By that I do not mean weak. I mean either way off key or sometimes people can sing on key but just have voices that are painful to listen to. And I am not saying that I am that great but I have a quiet voice so no matter what I do it is probably not going to be too disturbing.
