Stand-Up

Day 24 (342) – And on that note…

As I was singing alone in my car today to Aerosmith’s “Don’t Wanna Miss a Thing” (Hey, I’m rating all my songs remember…), I realized that I really wish I actually knew how to sing.

I don’t know if it’s part of this curse of having this 13 year old girl’s voice, or if it’s more related to my lack of musical talent, but I couldn’t sing to save my life.  I tried Karaoke once and people started listening to Creed just to get me out of their heads.  If I tried out for American Idol, I’d be like that ugly girl with red lipstick that they used in all of their commercials.  I think I could actually make Simon quit because he would have lost all faith in humanity if I went in there and acted like I thought I could really sing.

I’d love to actually learn to sing though, but I’m too embarassed to go and take lessons.  The last thing I need is a professional voice teacher laughing in my face and telling me I’m hopeless (I’m not trying to feel like K-Fed after he took his record to a label).

That’s why I’ve considered buying that karaoke game for PS2.  That way I could work on it in the comfort of my own home and try to get better.  But I think that might actually be more sad than getting voice lessons.  That’s like trying to use the Nintendo Wii sports games to lose weight.  But, hey, if we can learn to steal cars and drive over hookers from Grand Theft Auto, who’s to say we can’t learn how to sing?

Perhaps I should have made it one of my New Year’s Resolutions to try to get better at singing, though that would have been more impossible than this attempt to not hit the snooze button all year.  But I suppose if I do complete the Snooze challenge, then it will give me something to do next year.  If that’s the case, who wants to try out for American Idol with me?
