I sometimes find myself singing Boyz II Men songs, and I can't help but think I sound pretty damn good when I sing "Thank You" or "Water Runs Dry". Girls love it when I do ;)

Any songs you think you sing well?

When i'm drunk I can apparently sing to some Doors songs.

AC/DC - Thunderstruck

Any songs you think you sing well?

That song is so sad. :(

American Pie. Sadly, it was generally sung acapella by the whole damned math team on the bus ride to meets.

That song is so sad. :(

Yes it is :(

*smirks*
Any I want... but of course, songs sung by women are usually more in my range...

Yes it is :(

I'll make love to you. That's a good song. You forgot the end of the road. :mad:

"When Doves Cry" by Prince.

I've done this kareoke-stylee, much to the heated applause of the wimmin-folk. Gyrations included.

I'll make love to you. That's a good song. You forgot the end of the road. :mad:

I can sing I'll make love to you, but not end of the road :D

I can sing I'll make love to you, but not end of the road :D

Oh?

EDIT: Gawdly singing when doves cry...?!

I can do Bon Jovi - Its my life after a few drinks,well 6 or 7

Heh, I've done Follow The Reaper by Children Of Bodom for a friend's band once, although I'm not sure if it would meet everybody's definition of singing :P

Oh?

You like All Around The World? I think that's my best.

Oh?

EDIT: Gawdly singing when doves cry...?!

Darlin', I can make the song come alive.

Darlin', I can make the song come alive.

Lol. I'm sure you can. It supposed to be sad though!

Never heard All Around the World.

anything by Snow

lol j/k

Bryan Adams - Heaven, Summer of 69, etc.

Josh Groban (mom made me sing You Raise(d) Me Up in church and it went splendidly well... i went into my operatic voice)

Boyz II Men (I'll Make Love To You gets terribly high toward the end, but I handle the grace notes/trills of songs like "End of the Road" and "Motownphilly" with relative ease)

George Strait (i have a smooth voice a bit like George's when i sing naturally... not rough like most rock singers or Tim McGraw, for instance)

etc.

upper (comfortable) range is B-flat above middle C ... much higher than that and either i'm screaming or in falsetto.

low limit is right around E (2nd E below middle C)

i am a 2nd tenor with range, sometimes, for 1st tenor

depends on how much i've had to drink and whether i've just awakened. in terms of the latter, the shower is my appraiser. lol

"When Doves Cry" by Prince.

you should record that and send it... I'd love to hear
*eyes fluttering*

When I'm happy I sing Heartbreak Hotel with the words all wrong. If I'm a bit sad I sing Danny Boy and have good cry. I sing to my cat who likes Opera and Jazz especially Sweet Georgia Brown. I've been told I have a good voice but I come from A family of singers so my confidence is not always good and I am useless at remembering the words. :confused:

*slight interest*
What else can you sing? ;)

Lol. I'm sure you can. It supposed to be sad though!

Never heard All Around the World.

:eek: ...no! *gets on knees* You Maniacs!...you blew us up!...damn youuu, damn you all to hellllllllllll!

*shakes myself out of craze* Oh, sorry. If you can guess what movie that is from you get a cookie!

Actually I can't sing anything because I'm losing my voice.

When I'm drunk I think I can sing "Come on Eileen"....*cringe*

When sober theres a fair few songs I think I'm good at...unsure whether anyone else would agree with me on that :p I like singing Ayreon songs....oooh, and that Elton John one...."Your song"?

I can't sing anything particularly high....the C above middle C is as high as I can go before it gets painful.

EDIT: And showtunes. Showtunes are fun :D

I do best at singing hard rock (stuff like "Go Your Own Way" by Fleetwood Mac, "Fall From Grace" by Stevie Nicks, "I Need To Know" by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, "Gimme Back My Bullets" by Lynyrd Skynyrd, and "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" by AC/DC are my best).

One song that doesn't fit that category that I've actually sung a cappella and did well with it is "Destiny Rules" by Fleetwood Mac (written by my girl Stevie Nicks).

I was told that I was by far the best at a karaoke event from my university course, but thats not saying much...

Anything death metal where I can just scream instead of sing.

Stayin Alive by the Bee Gee's- just give me a few pints, a balloon or two and a karaoke machine and you'll never shut me up!

I sing for my church choir, though those songs are primarily religious in nature (I enjoy them, though). From pop culture, I can' only remember "Terain' up my heart" by N'Sync and "Hotel California" by... I don't remember who.

What, precisely, do you mean by this? Are you going mute? O_O

I suppose. I don't know. I lost my voice. Haven't you heard of that before?

"Hotel California" by... I don't remember who

'the Eagles'

Dragostea din tei :cool: ....yeah..

Ace of Spades

And currently learning Asylum by Silverchair

I can only sing "good" when I'm drunk and there's music to sing along with.

*slight interest*
What else can you sing? ;)
well I'll give anything a go :D

Well, Im quite sick right now - so I find myself incredibly good at singing the whiskey stained vocals from artists such as Bruce Springsteen, John Cougar, AC/DC, Rod Stewart, Eagles, Bryan Adams and so on. In fact, I was singing (alone in my car) pretty well the entire way home yesterday evening on a four hour drive... yeah, today I can barely talk... I really am the worlds biggest dork. :p

Yeah man speaking of Springsteen you gotta do something dark and depressing like The river or Point blank :)

Thunder Road, Trapped (live), Can't Help Falling in Love (Live with U2), Jersey Girl, My Hometown and Blood Brothers were the tastiest treats of the day - I did each of them songs at least three times a piece! :p

I also broke out the Nick Cave, Chris Rea, and Bob Dylan! :eek:

...and I am his sidekick, the Worlds Biggest Dink!

The expression sounds vaguely familiar, but I don't remember the precise meaning. I hope for your sake that "losing your voice" is a temporary condition.

I'm good at singing any Sammy Hagar stuff, but then Jimmy Buffet to. And I do a good rendition of "For Those about to Rock"

I do a perfect rendition of "Moby Dick" by Led Zeppelin.

I'll sing along to anything practically, used to be able to hit the top note at the end of The Phantom of the Opera, but I got complimented for No Doubt - Don't Speak at a karoke, though my usual song is Joan Jett - I Love Rock and Roll.

Can you do 'Bad Reputation' too?!? :fluffle:

Be careful. Most men believe they can sing at least one song well. This goes along with the idea that every man knows from birth how to fight, fuck, and drive.

All that and you sing, too?

*sighs*
Duet anyone?

LOL. You don't know how many times a guy wanted to serenade me because he thought he was all that, and it was all I could do to stop from cringing and running away...

I could sing all Greenday songs really well before my voice properly broke - now it just comes out as a deep grumble :( But I can sing things like 'Nothing Else Matters' by Metallica really well, and anything with lots of death metal-type roars in seem to come really easily... :confused:

Good? well not really. There are a few artists which I can manage not to embarass myself with while singing some of thier repitoiore. I can manage some Tom Waits (but not all, Raindogs for instance requires too much vocal control that I just don't have), almost all of Joey Ramone, all of Sid Viscous, and some of Lou Reed (his monotone sort of stuff). Essentially if an artist has ruined their vocal range through drinking and smoking too much and isn't using vocal control to make up for their lack of range I can manage a passable version if their range is within my limited one (I cannot do Bob Dylan for instance).

Come by my window some time... you can do Metallica... I can do a nasty song by Etta James

i can aperntly sing that R.E.M song whats your freqwancy kenneth pretty well
and that about it because i have the voice of a cat in a blender

All that and you sing, too?

*sighs*
Duet anyone?
I wish! Haha! No, in reality my voice is very nonsuited to singing - its very deep and dry (I can do Johnny Cash... but really, who with a deep voice can't) The only reason my voice sounds like those listed at present, is because I've been sick for the last week so my voice is in a state of perpetual disrepair. I found it rather sad too, I was coming home from the mountain on Saturday and the two girls in the car with me were apparently quite enthralled by my voice and singing capabilities. I might almost be sad when my throat gets better now! Though, I think by singing all the way home last night I've prolonged the betterment of my throat for at least a little while... karaoke night here I come!! Woo!! :p

I do a perfect rendition of "Moby Dick" by Led Zeppelin.

Hehehe! Nice one. :p

When i'm drunk I can apparently sing to some Doors songs.
Whooo yeah! Me too.

Iris by goo goo dolls...i sing lots of Nat King Cole.....i sand the prayer at a weddig with my fiance.....

Oh, I forgot one... several songs by the Croatian singer/songwriter Giboni

Thunder Road, Trapped (live), Can't Help Falling in Love (Live with U2), Jersey Girl, My Hometown and Blood Brothers were the tastiest treats of the day - I did each of them songs at least three times a piece! :p

Road to hell part 1 & 2 = genieus

Heh, I've done Follow The Reaper by Children Of Bodom for a friend's band once, although I'm not sure if it would meet everybody's definition of singing :P
\m/ h@rdc0r3! That's a good song.

Well, I have to force myself to overlook the obvious religion fused into his music - but the messages are always valid, and yes, the content is always genius. ;)

Road to hell part 1 & 2 = genieus :rolleyes:

Flogging Molly for me. And "Kidnap the Sandy Claws."

:rolleyes:

Hard to compare the two really, not a big fan of flogging molly i'm afraid. I just find them very boring

You are a man of utterly no taste and exactly no style whatsoever.

your comparing a new band to Chris Rea, not even the same sort of genre. Listen to the roots and I hope that you gain some scope ofwhat your trying to compare

considering my singing voice will strip the wall paper off the walls, i think i sound awesome singing ANYTHING. my best genre- black metal.

I could talk shit about my singing, but no one would believe me.

I was much better when I was younger. But now all I can do is emulate Harry Connick, Jr.

The bad part is that I don't look like him. So the voice looks funny coming out of me.

I can sing a number of songs well, but Im considered a good singer by those around me, so...

Yes, well, we all saw each other on the first show of American Idol...
