Be Brutally Honest Can I Sing Or Am I Terrible

What do you think of brutally honest people?

You mean those who validate the saying: “the road to hell is paved with good intention (or not)? Well, I do know a few of them that used honesty as a shield to blow other people off point blank with their unsolicited snide remarks.Some of these people are narcissistic with an ego the size of Texas, most of them are not very popular and usually hurt people by being blunt. I think honesty is good when people are asking for an honest opinion but unsolicited insults most of the time are not needed and we all know how truth hurts.I can still recall in the movie “A Few Good Men” when Tom Cruise asked for the truth and Jack Nicohlson answered.A must see for the great performance of two great actors of brutal honesty. Well, what do you think? How often you see that being honest is not good for both who delivered and those on the receiving ends.Ever since I was a kid, I learned to bite my tongue and trying to be more diplomatic so my words won’t hurt people while telling the truth; a thing called tact. For a long time in the 80s and 90s, businesses and politics in the US were all about being PC-Political Correctness that had tipped the scale of being cordial. I think the over correctness in social dialogues is the cause of “white speak” or tolerance toward Donald Trump’s outburst of racial slurs. So many supposedly suppressed feelings were being released in public by idiot Trump that are echo with resonances of the white supremacists or people who think that white people are being edged out of their high horses.I think the best policy to adopt about being honest is “keep your mouth shut unless you have something nice to say”. Always remember that while you are judging others, you are also being judged simultaneously. It doesn’t hurt to stop and mumble first what you about to say before blurting out. You don’t have to lie, meanwhile, you don’t always have to let truth hurt those you love.

Name for my baby girl? BRUTALLY HONEST OPINIONS PLEASE!?

Baylee Teegan is really cute. I like Catelynn Brynleigh for your second baby. I mixed & matched, but I thought it sounded perfect with Baylee (although I prefer Catelyn Brinley).

How can I tell a friend she can't sing without hurting her feelings?

You cannot. Heck, we ourselves will still most likely get offended when there are people around us who do not enjoy our guitar playing or singing no matter how much experience we have in dealing with criticism, so what makes us think that we can tell someone he or she cannot sing without hurting him or her?Tell her specifically where to improve with kindness. If she is constantly off-key and out of tune, tell her that her notes are incorrect and give her the correct ones so that she can work on it. Be very honest about it (do not sugarcoat your words with things such as, “Your voice is nice, but….”) so that she knows her actual position, but be compassionate and do not just merely criticise her without giving her any useful input. Telling her that she cannot sing without pinpointing where she goes wrong and what to improve is simply not going to help (which is why many people see Simon Cowell as an asshole, as much as he is right about many of the rejected contestants not able to sing a single note in tune). Instead of preventing other people from pursuing their dreams, help them in getting closer to where they want to be - I am sure they would appreciate it.

Why do some people tell me i can't sing?

I am a really great singer, but there are some people at my school tell me i can't sing. One time, we had this talent show and i was the first to perform . I did well , but did not win no awards . After some days had passed, some of my friends told me that i did great. But there are some people telling me i can't sing til this very day.WHY ARE THEY KEEP ON DOING THIS!!!

How can I be a singer if my voice is bad but I have passion?

We need to cover a couple points here to clear things up.  One, you can be a singer no matter how bad your voice is.  Two, voice lessons will help you no matter how bad your voice is.  Three, you can always be in a rock band, many rock vocalists can't really sing.  So if somehow you want to be a pop singer, they do have auto tune and that can make almost anyone sound good, or at least in tune.  Personally I think Kanye can't sing at all and even auto tune doesn't help much, but look at him.Let's take the band Beat Happening.  They are a small indie band that has been around since 1985.  They putout 5 albums from 1985-1992.  Calvin Johnson, their male vocalist, started a small label called K Records which put out all their albums.  They toured around, got radio play, and this guy Calvin released dozens of other bands records as well.  He has released solo albums as well.  Calvin would NOT be classified as a good singer by most people's standards. But people love him.  I love him too, love Beat Happening, and love many of the artists on his label.  Here is a sample of some of their work:Now, for me, it's not about if you're in tune, or have the prettiest voice.  There are so many reasons I like, and don't like some musicians or singers.  But passion is important, as is what you are singing about.  Keep this in mind while listening to this album.  He sang in this band for 7 years.  He ran a record company that sold thousands of albums.  He toured all over and still is a singer to this day and this is how he makes his living.  There are countless other singers out there better and worse than him, some famous, some not.  But one word of warning.  Do NOT do this to get famous.  If you want to sing, you sing, all you want.  If you get good enough to get paid or make a living at it, great.  But do not think you will get famous from this, it is exceedingly unlikely.  Just enjoy it for what it is.
