Today, our school had tryouts for chorus. Everybody sang a snippet of the song together until the teacher stopped us, saying it sounded awful. He singled me out and told me to sing alone. After I sang the part, he said, "Son, your gift to God will be silence." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found out I have a bad singing voice. How? The choir judge decided to yell "STOP! Please just stop!" During my solo. In front of everyone. During the show. FML
Today, I had been practicing for a solo in a choir I’m in. I finally got it down and was all ready to audition. On audition night, the choir director let me try out, then decided all the sopranos should sing it. FML
Today, I was practicing for a choir concert that I have next week. My mom walked into my room and listened to me for a little while. After I finished the last song, she smiled, patted me on the head and said, "It's okay honey, I can't sing either." FML
Today, I was at work at a preschool. I was sitting outside with the kids and was getting bored so I started singing. One of the little girls runs up and puts her hand over my mouth and tells me to stop. I'm in a select chorus at my highschool and plan to major in choral studies in college. FML
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 told my mom that I want to try out for a singing competition on TV, so I might be able to kick off my musical career. She convinced me to sing a song for her, so I did. Mid-way through, she lost it, burst into laughter, and told me to stay in school. FML
Today, I performed in my school's choir concert. The girl next to me started to pass out, and I grabbed her so she wouldn't hit her head. After we were done performing and the curtains closed, my choir teacher dragged me off stage and said I was getting an F for "creating a distraction". FML
Today, I had my high school piano recital. The entire time I was playing, one of my classmates sitting up front kept booing me and yelling "YOU SUCK" at the top of his lungs. He drowned out the entire song. FML
Today, my roommate eavesdropped on me singing. When I realized he was there, he said I was "fucking incredible" and asked me to do another song. There's just one issue: I only sing well when I'm alone. The result was predictably bad. If it was possible to literally die of embarrassment, I wouldn't be writing this. FML
Today, I had my first chorus concert. We got a bigger applause when we left the stage than when we sang. FML

So, seeing from reading this story, your voice sucks-ass and the teacher singled you out just to make fun of you. Obviously you deserve this since you are trying out for chorus, so ya, its your fault, idiot.

I think people who suck at singing should just shut up... and definitely not try out for chorus.

#1 is a asshole. Ok, so your voice is bad but your teacher shouldn't have singled you out in such a humiliating way. It was a very witty line she used though. :D You can't be good at everything, just learn to accept it, and find something else you like and are good at.

WAAAHHHH I suck at singing. That's why I never try it in front of others. I have no pity for you. We all wish we could sing, but the sad sad fact is that a very small percentage of us can.

It's people like you that (according to my friends who watch these programs) what makes pop idol and other talent shows funny

What teacher says snippy bullshit like that to his students? Stay in the choir. Ruin it for him at least.

That is horrible for the teacher to say, even if you are a bad singer, he should not have said that. Haha to #3 its a perfect idea

Start a punk band and write a song about how much he sucks.
