It’s amazing to me how a really good singer can make a song sound so badly. I’m not talking about the Grammy’s or those other award shows for singing like American Idol and Who’s Line is it Anyways. I’m talking about sitting in church or standing in the bathroom by myself and hearing a horrible screech of sound. Guy..you might have a good voice when you are singing by yourself, but this is a group song, not a one man sing too loudly and think you can harmonize but you can’t song. It’s really too bad, really!
Now, I like to sing in the car or shower or while I’m making a bowl of homemade (not homemade) cereal or when I’m getting dressed in the morning or when I’m…well pretty much all the time, but I’m alone, I don’t have anyone to bug. BUT THIS GUY, was bugging everyone (probably just me) and it was…well…totally bugging! I think harmonizing is really cool, but when you are trying to harmonize so that everyone can hear you’re harmonizing that’s when I draw the line. Every time the end of a sentence in the song came I cringed because I knew he was going to carry the note a half second longer than everybody else.
Music is about expressing yourself emotionally and mentally…and I get that…if…he was singing all by himself. He wasn’t people there were 60 other guys singing too, but for some reason I could hear two voices of song. The group…and that GUY! NOT COOL! (geez I’m getting a little crazy with the caps today, but on that NOT COOL! I actually gave a little extra push to the keys)
This is not an isolated incident, millions and thousands of people everywhere are using this same atrocious (thank goodness for spell check or I could have never used that word) behavior. I guess all in all, I’m saying that I wish everyone was as perfect as me because I have no faults (well except I guess I’m not humble enough) and I’m super humble.

I am THRILLED to have found this bloggity blog of yours. And I totally can see that bugging– like in my ward one of the guys would always say “Amen” after everyone else had already said it. Ummmm… really? Not necessary.

I guess he’s just hoping that one day someone will tell him how beautiful he sounds. It’s a desperate cry for attention really. Maybe you should give him a book on self esteem.
