I would probably sing in the shower too but I don't really listen to the radio in there as much as I used to. Monday I was driving home and singing when I realized something rather interesting. I don't just sing, I try to sound like the artist that is singing. Now this isn't true if its a guy. I don't try my best impersonation of Justin Timberlake or the leader of Three Days Grace. But if its Rhianna, Carrie Underwood, or even Amy Lee singing I'll try to hit all the high notes and blend my voice with their's. I've also noticed that if a singer has an accent (say an accent from the American South, for instance), no matter their gender, I'll sing with their accent too. Does anyone else do this? How do you sing along? (Result) I sing without trying to sound like who I am singing along with. I try to sound like the artists that are the same gender as me, minus the accents they might have. I try to sound like the artists that are the same gender as me, including any accent they may have. I try to sound like both genders when I'm singing along with them. I just listen and rarely sing along I'm not sure I don't sing along. How Juvenile of you to think I would. Do I look like I'm a pre-pubescent with a brush or shampoo bottle in my hand? Other

And strong songs, like the new U2 album has a few, you have no choice but to sing outloud. I love singing in traffic because people watch you and think your crazy. No i just like music. Never try to be the singer though. Unless its singstar then you kinda have no choice Misfit of Mischief

Though.... I do sing sometimes when I'm at home listening to a great song. When no one is around. I rarely sing in the shower or the car.

This is me most of the time, although if the singer has a really strong accent (i.e. Tarja Turunen), a bit of it will slip into my voice sometimes.

If I sing to you, that means I reallly don't like you. Heheheh. Actually I enjoy singing along, but only if I'm alone. ANKH! DJED! WAS! Life! Health! Prosperity! XV

I don't really sing as much as I belt. Seldom try to imitate the voices, but usually play more with the emotions of the song and at times try to imitate those. So went with the first option.

I don't sing in the shower, I DO sing in the car (when I have music in the car which I don't right now, since some JERK stole my stereo!) But I usually only sing when alone.

It started out as a small thing but then I kept on doing it so eventually my parents installed a couple of speakers in the bathroom that were connected to the radio to make things more fun for me. I sing in the car sometimes but right now I focus mostly on my driving seeing as I want to get my license. :P \|Proud PLA member\| Misfit Of Music\| Keeper Of Xena's Protectiveness Of Gabrielle\| Banner design by Deipho

One Star General Posts: 623 (03/26/09 7:44 AM) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts Report Post	I sing my arse off to absolutely everything. When I'm driving, when I'm in the shower, when I'm in lectures.... I sing along to instrumentals, to classical music, to guitar solos, to T.V show themes, to radio jingles.... I harmonise with everything aswell. Because I am that cool. As for the question, I don't try to sound like the singer. Unless it's in a foreign lanuguage (Spanish, French, Italian, German, Latin, Japanese...), then I tend to be imitating them, as I don't understand the words or how they should sound, but otherwise I think I just sound like myself. "I hate that..."
