I'm determined to learn to sing >> /edit post *point to Eepin's blog 'vague funny and somewhat determined'.
Actually more like to find out if I CAN sing.......which is.......actually not proven given situation currently. I know I should be blogging on 'Reutersgate' (apparently alleged staging of hero civilian carrying dead girl from Israeli bombing to promote the cause of Muslim insurgents...or something like that)
So to continue my mark of selfishness I shall concentrate on singing. Yes...singing.
Con and I decided....well actually encouraged by Ann and me being self deluded during the heaty period in shower, decided we should sing for MADfest (music, arts, drama). Connie can sing....albeit.....very taiwan ish pop girl, but she can sing. Me I don't know. Seriously. I've never sang in public besides choir in high school, drowned out by the other voices. You can never hear what the choir is singing anyway, we weren't good enough. And no one has ever blatantly told me 'you're good' or 'you suck' so I never knew if I could sing. Over perverse shyness and a low self esteem over my strangely shrill voice (hmmm, this not proven also I think my voice is shrill due to the fact someone called me cute and omg you sound so cute with that voice, I'm determined to think I have a higher than normal voice), so I think I can't sing but I enjoy bouncing around my room pretending to be a rockstar and sometimes belting out songs to the computer.
Thusly invited Eeps over to 'be judge' and 'to stop laughing' and after half an hour 'to stop cringing for goodness sake I'm not THAT bad'.
We wanted to do disney songs, since......those are the only one's we like and can sing to, ahem again. So I put on Reflection from Mulan, and Journey to the Past and Once upon a december from Anastasia, and When you believe from Prince of Egypt. Some other random english songs made their way in to as I tried to prove my songstress inside. After the first few sobs from Eeps, and my apparent lack of understanding of 'sing from your diaphrapm', he was extremely aggravated at the situation that sometimes I'm completely ON key and sometimes completely OFF key.
He was in one word, stumped.
But I'm not tone deaf, that we confirmed.
When he nearly had to go home, TADAA, we found out what the problem was. I can't sing low notes. Completely go off according to Eeps. My range go from medium to high ish.......>>.........tried Once upon a December again and tadaaaaaa, he said, that's actually ok. So poo to that girl who once told me I was flat.
Ahem.......now Eeps go everywhere cringing at the experience, OI...I WASN'T THAT BAD!
Me and Con in room singing A whole new World, she on Aladdin, I on Jasmine, and we brought her on a higher note so she can go lower with the ending of every line...I think that's what it was called, and I just whatever let go on Jasmine's part. We don't sound half bad *ish delighted*.
Now I just need to make sure someone other than Eeps confirm that I can sing....
