Miscellaneous: Belter

Belter

By Anonymous - 11/10/2010 22:29 - Canada

Today, I attended a musical. A new song was played, and I thought I'd heard it before because it sounded strangely familiar. I sang along quietly as the song progressed, positive I knew it. Anticipating the next chorus, I belted out the lyrics with all my heart. It was instrumental. FML

Your song

Today, I auditioned for the musical at my school. Before I sang my song, I gave my music to the director. She said "Oh, I love this song!". After I sang it, she told me, "It's okay, I still like the song." FML

Today, I was at a band concert with 500 other people. The song they were performing stopped, and I loved it so much I stood up and clapped. Everyone stared, while I slowly realized the song wasn't over. FML

Today, I went to see one of my favorite bands. When they started playing my favorite song I whipped out my video camera and sang along. As I was reviewing the video later, I realized that I couldn't even hear the band over my horrible singing. FML

Today, thinking I was alone in a public bathroom, I started singing the words to my favorite song. A minute later that I heard a toilet flush, so I just sat there petrified. The other person sarcastically picked up the singing from where I left off. FML

Overrated

Today, out of pure boredom, I decided to listen to the soundtrack from a musical. When I got to the love song, I thought about my anxiety and where I stood with this one guy, and ended up crying to myself. The musical was Jesus Christ Superstar. FML

Today, I was singing the National Anthem at a school game and totally forgot the words. So I kept singing the same two lines over and over. FML

Today, at a party, I tried to play it cool by pretending to know all the lyrics to a song, but ended up singing the wrong words and embarrassing myself. FML

Today, I was at a local talent show and during a piano performance I had to go to the bathroom. I sang along in the bathroom but was unaware how loud I was until I walked out and everyone started applauding me while the pianist was still playing. FML

Start your Monday with a Song!

Today, I came into work early to clean equipment, with my headphones on, singing to myself. I lost track of time, and wound up with the entire office watching me belt tunes out. FML

Make an entrance, not a scene

Today, I was a guest performer for a school orchestra concert a grade above mine. When they called my name, I didn’t hear them, so when they started the song hundreds of people watched me run on stage. FML

To all the Grammar Nazis: *hugs!* I know I'm late for that whole conversation, but I truly thank you for correcting people on their atrocious spelling. Jokingly or otherwise, it's a damn good thing. Maybe I'm biased because I'm an English major, but still, keep up the good fight. ^_^

If you're biased, so are the rest of us. Welcome aboard. *I will not admit that I double checked to make sure you typed everything correctly. Thank god there's someone else out there who can spell!

You didn't go to a musical to sing along, asshole. You go to enjoy the show. Plus, think about all the people around you. They came to watch the show, not listen to you disrupt the show.

To 196: no worries about my spelling, I've actually had teachers ask me how to spell things on a number of occasions. And I am very proud to boast about that.

Impressive, I must say! By the way, are you on a phone of some sort? I almost didn't see your reply, since it wasn't in the original thread.

While I'll agree that it was probably embarrassing as hell, I've gotta go with YDI on this one. Like others have said, people paid to hear the people on stage do the singing. I'm kind of a theatre nerd, and one of my biggest pet peeves is people who talk (or sing, I guess, though I've never experienced that one myself) during shows. Like Shepherd said: "You're going to burn in a very special level of hell. A level they reserve for child molesters and people who talk at the theater." (Please, someone get that...)
