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

Waxing lyrical

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

why would you belt something out at a musical. people are paying to see the musical, not hear the audience join in

Even if it had been a song with words, YDI for singing along with a musical in the first place. If you went to see a movie and you knew the dialogue, would you yell that out, too?

why would you even sing at a musical? You have no idea how distracting that is to the performers and how annoying that is to the people around you.

That's very disrespectful unless to the performers and people around you, unless the performers call out "sing along" or something.

It is so incredibly rude to sing along, especially when you're not even sure what the words are. I'm pretty sure if someone else had been singing you would have pretty ticked off. I really hope someone complained to the management about you.

a musical? as in musical theatre? it's actually kind of disrespectful to be singing if you're in the audience...

I am an actress. If I was on stage singing my highlighted song I would jump out into the audience and slap you for trying to steal my thunder. You totally deserved it. That is so rude. You aren't at a rock concert. Have some class.
