Today, I sang a romantic song I wrote for my girlfriend. She laughed at my soprano. FML

It really takes balls for a guy to romantically serenade a girl in a soprano voice. It would be a lot easier without them, though.

It's called vocal range. You should be proud of it and so should she.

if that's a Cosby show reference, I believe it's "Justine, Justine!" If it's not, then pay no attention to me. I have issues.

Isn't it a "phantom of the opera" reference?

"Yibber yabber goober doober" That's a Cosby show reference.

Probably the "Christine Sixteen" Kiss song

On the bright side, she's gonna remember it as a happy memory? :D

I guess it depends on if he has a good singing voice or if he just accidentally embarrassed himself :p I would laugh if someone serenaded me in an offtune voice, but it's the thought that counts

Maybe op should have payed someone to sing that song he wrote. Fyl op

That's romantic, huh? I'd rather try it myself and do it poorly, because that's worth more to me, and should be for her.

I hope she does indeed remember as a happy memory. And OP, don't worry about your soprano voice too much. Keep in mind that Frankie Valli had a very high soprano and sang beautifully. Persevere towards your goals!

Justin Timberlake would applaud not laugh, be proud op

he definitely should! My boyfriend doesn't know anything about singing and I told him to sing and he's a tenor, or "tender" as he likes to put it (lol), its hard to do that so be proud of yourself OP! I know guys who've tried doing falsetto for years and still can't get it.

It's a rare talent but it's marketable if you wanted to make a career with it! There are many male sopranos in musical theatre.

Well, maybe he didn't actually have the vocal range and that's what she was laughing about. Not nice of her though. Definitely an FML moment.

No, there aren't. There are lots of tenors. When there are male sopranos, they are children. In fact, the male voice type that is higher than tenor, countertenor, doesn't even show up in musical theater. Countertenors mostly only show up in opera.

78, I would assume he is since it says on his profile.

I'm a musician and we as musicians will sing to our songs (it's only obvious we do)!

He wouldn't be a soprano. He probably means falsetto. No guy can be higher than alto 2 after puberty. It just doesn't happen.

Then you obviously don't listen to music lol

72, you should really go to an opera. I was in choir in high school and participated in bigger choirs where women were sometimes a bass (they hit the lowest notes with the men) and men were soprano (they hit the high notes with the women). So yes, it IS possible.

did she atleast like the lyrics? that's rude of her. laugh at her cooking

If it was meant to be a serious thing then that's just rude. Not even autotune can fix the singing voice that my boyfriend has - yet I would be honored for him to serenade me.

She might have laughed..! But she sure as hell better think that was adorable! Atleast you tried. That calls for guts.

It was a sweet gesture , and she probably laughed out of embarrassment though still appreciating the song. I'm pretty sure she enjoyed it deep down , if just the lyrics
