I can sing just about ANY song.

...not saying I would do it well...and might scare away small pets & children...possibly cause your ears to bleed a little...but I can still SING 'em.

Actually...Slick Rick's "Mona Lisa" can be 'sung' very nicely.

All of them! I have a slow, sleepy, country bumpkin kind of voice and it does not translate well into a singing voice. But I am perfectly content to sit back and listen to others sing (if they do it well)!

When I catch myself singing along with Sade, I sound atrocious. For example, that long note at the end of "Is It A Crime" is amazing and impossible for me to sing without my voice cracking.

I can't do hardly any of Prince's screams either.

Bruno Mars' "Grenade" has notes that are really hard to reach.

"Lovin' You" from Minnie Ripperton. To sing it like her? Impossible.

"Even Flow" from Pearl Jam - Just can't understand it, let alone sing it.

I was cast in "Sunday in the Park With George" a few years ago and found it incredibly hard to get the syncopation down of the Sondheim lyrics.

HA! I tried singing in the shower one time and the neighbors called the cops on me. Said that from the sound coming from the house, they thought I was torturing cats.

I can sing anything well or decent if I move some of the more difficult songs to sing down some octaves.

Unless you're Bruno Mars or Bill Medley... I bet your ass you can't hit the falsetto..

That's if we're talking about singing the song in the right key.... that takes you 3 octave range. lol

fair enough... but you didn't need to start a thread about it to make me look inadequate

it's not like i'm out there starting threads like "hey Shawy89... you can't moonwalk across a tightrope, wearing only dinasour slippers and a blue hat"

i mean... what would be the point?

in future, i'd appreciate it if you stopped being mean to me... thanks
