singingsister57's Profile

ANYONE READING THIS: WELCOME TO MY PROFILE AND TO MY ADDICTION!!! LOL THIS IS A FANTASTIC SITE. TREVOR AND ALL THE STAFF HERE HAVE MADE THIS A PLACE WHERE WE CAN NOT ONLY FULFILL OUR PASSIONS OF SINGING AND LISTENING TO GREAT MUSIC, BUT WE CAN MAKE MANY NEW FRIENDS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD. THANK YOU TREVOR AND STAFF FOR BEING MY ENABLER. HEHE!

MY MOTTO CONCERNING SINGING COMES FROM THE LYRICS OF A CARPENTERS SONG:
"SING! SING A SONG! SING OUT LOUD! SING OUT STRONG! DON'T WORRY THAT IT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR ANYONE ELSE TO HEAR. JUST SING! SING A SONG!"

FUN STUFF:
THESE ARE THE AWARDS THAT MY PARTNER JOHHNYO AND I WON FOR THE "THIS SONG SHOULD'VE BEEN A DUET" CONTEST. IT WAS REQUIRED THAT WE RECORD MULTIPLE LAYERS OF HARMONY WITH THE SS PLAYER ALONG WITH AD LIB SPEAKING AND SINGING TO SHOW CREATIVITY.THANK YOU, JOHNNY, FOR INVITING ME TO SING WITH YOU IN THIS CONTEST.IT WAS AN HONOR.

HERE IS THE SONG WE RECORDED FOR ROUND ONE.

HERE ARE THE SONGS THAT WE RECORDED IN ROUND TWO.THE SECOND ONE IS UNNAMED ON THE PLAYER, BUT IT'S MICHAEL JACKSON'S I JUST CAN'T STOP LOVING YOU.

I'M SO SILLY!:
IN SINGSNAP, I SING SERIOUSLY, BUT I ALSO SING "SILLY SONGS." I SING SONGS THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO BE SERIOUS IN A SILLY WAY, TOO. I WILL NEVER MAKE A LIVING WITH MY SINGING. I WILL NEVER BE A STAR, BUT I CAN HAVE A WHOLE LOT OF FUN NO MATTER HOW I SING THE SONG. I JUST WANT MY LISTENERS TO BE GLAD THEY CAME AND SOMEHOW TO BE ABLE TO BRIGHTEN THEIR DAYS. HERE ARE SOME EXAMPLES OF THE SILLY STUFF.

ABOUT ME:(THE BORING PART OF MY PROFILE)
I USED TO BE A HIGH SCHOOL MARKETING TEACHER. WHEN I WAS LAID OFF AND GOT PREGNANT AROUND THE SAME TIME, I DECIDED TO BE A STAY-AT-HOME MOM. I HAVE NEVER REGRETTED THAT DECISION. ON AUGUST 1, 2013 I WILL BE MARRIED FOR 33 YEARS. I HAVE TWO GROWN CHILDREN ONE OF WHICH AS BLESSED US WITH FOUR BEAUTIFUL GRANDCHILDREN.

I WAS IN THE CHOIR IN HIGH SCHOOL AND IN THE JUNIOR GIRL'S ENSEMBLE. AS A TEEN, I WAS PART OF OUR CHURCH'S YOUTH GROUP.WE WENT AROUND TO DIFFERENT CHURCHES AND NURSING HOMES SINGING WHAT WAS CONTEMPORARY CHRISTIAN MUSIC AT THE TIME, BUT WOULD NOW BE CONSIDERED MORE FOLKSY PRAISE MUSIC.

WHEN I WAS IN COLLEGE, I WAS PART OF A GROUP CALLED THE I-UPPPERS OUT OF INDIANA UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA. WE TRAVELED ANYWHERE AND PERFORMED ETHNIC SONGS, DANCES AND PLAYED INSTRUMENTS IN COSTUMES THAT ARE/WERE UNIQUE TO PARTICULAR ETHNIC/CULTURAL GROUPS. OF, COURSE, MY REAL PASSION WAS, IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE, SINGING. I HAV USNG IN CHURCH CHOIRS, SUNG SOLOS FOR SPECIAL MUSIC THERE AND I HAVE SUNG AT A FEW WEDDINGS. OUR CHURCH USED TO HAVE A PRAISE AND WORSHIP TEAM OF WHICH I WAS A MEMBER. WE LED THE CONGREGATION IN MORE UPBEAT, MODERN MUSIC THAN THE TRADITIONAL HYMNS. i WON'T GO TO A KARAOKE BAR. IT'S JUST NOT MY TYPE OF ATMOSPHERE.

ABOUT DUETS WITH ME:
MY OPEN DUETS ARE JUST THAT...OPEN. YA DON'T EVEN HAVE TO ASK ME. I LOVE MUSIC AND I THINK IT SHOULD BE SHARED ESPECIALLY WITH MY FRIENDS. OCCASIONALLY WHEN I SING A DUET WITH SOMEONE AND IT'S SPECIAL BETWEEN US FOR VARIOUS REASONS, I MAY NOT WANT OTHERS JOINING US, SO I'D CLOSE THE DUET OPTION. THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN OFTEN. THE MORE WHO WANT TO JOIN, THE MERRIER! DON'T FORGET TO SEND ME THE LINK IF YOU SING WITH ME. I SELDOM CHECK MY "FEATURED ON" TAB ON MY PUBLIC PROFILE.

ABOUT RATINGS:
YOU WILL ALSO NOTICE THAT I DON'T HAVE MY RATINGS ON. IT'S MY OPINION THAT RATINGS MEAN NOTHING. EVERYONE IS SO NICE HERE AND I THINK IF I JUST CROAKED INTO THE MIC LIKE A FROG I'D GET A PERFECT 5. LOL. THE ONLY TIME I LEAVE MY RATINGS ON IS WHEN I'M SINGING ADUET WITH SOMEONE BECAUSE THAT PERSON MIGHT LIKE TO BE RATED.

I DON'T RATE OTHERS EITHER. I JUST THING I'M NOT QUALIFIED TO RATE ANYONE. EVERYONE HAS THEIR OWN IDEAS ABOUT WHAT IS "GOOD." THIS IS A GREAT SITE. YOU DON'T HAVE TO SING WELL TO HAVE FUN HERE. I DON'T WANT TO BE A STAR...NOT EVEN A SINGSNAP STAR.IF YOU'RE HERE TO GET LOTS OF COMMENTS AND HAVE HUNDREDS OF FANS WHO COME REGULARLY, MAYBE THIS SITE ISN'T FOR YOU. JUST SHARE YOUR MUSIC WITH OTHERS AND THAT MEANS TAKE THE TIME TO LET THEM SHARE THEIRS WITH YOU BY LISTENING EVEN IF YOU CAN'T LISTEN TO EVERYONE YOU'D LIKE. JUST LOVE SINGING FOR YOURSELF AND TO MAKE YOUR FRIENDS SMILE OR MAKE THEM FEEL THEY WERE GLAD THEY LISTENED. FORGET ALL THE JUNK ABOUT NOT GETTING ENOUGH LISTENS.

AND THIS ENDS THE SEQUEL TO WAR AND PEACE. IF YOU READ THROUGH MY WHOLE PROFILE, THEN TREVOR NEEDS TO GIVE YOU A MONTH FREE. NOW YOU DIDN'T HEAR THAT FROM ME! HAPPY SINGING!!!
