"Please stand up"

"No I'd rather sit down and sing if you don't mind...I'm more at ease that way..."

"Will you please sit down and sing...we feel you're overpowering us..."

"No...if you don't mind I'd rather stand...I can breath and sing more easily that way..."

Seems to me that this is a subject where audiences need to respect the style of the singer and where the singer should stick to what's most natural for them. That way the song is likely to come out better.

P.S. I've seem some "greats" from different genres who have sung awesomely seated!
