Singing For Me
Well, I know I’m only a teenager, but music is a huge part of my life. I can’t live without it. When I sing, I’m always telling a story about my life. Karaoke helps me to get messages across to different people, and to help me sort out my own problems.
Karaoke is the best way of stress release for me, as I’m telling the world about me each and every time I sing. It’s not the same singing in front of your mirror with a hair brush, singing along to,,, I dunno,,, girls aloud. When you’re on the mic and you’re singing all by your self, you can hear your own voice and no one else’s, and you can also change the song to suit you, which is what I do, I make the song my own!!
I’ve grown up with music, as most of you know, having a talented mother, well, let’s say it’s hard to ignore. But just because I was brought up with music doesn’t mean I’m any good at it. However, lucky for me, I am. Music is MY thing, and I hate when my younger sister (Kiera) learns songs and sits in the car singing along to it and my mum is so impressed by her, it really bug’s me I like getting attention from my mum for singing, though it be very few times that I do get praise from her, but when I do it’s really good, it makes me feel I’m not completely useless after all.
Karaoke is one way that I show off to her without my brat of a sister being there.
When I was on T.V. with my best friend Lauren on Short Change on BBC, I was singing, and I can’t even begin to tell you how amazing that experience was for me. It gave me such a buzz. When I was performing up on the stage with all the camera’s about, it was absolutely fantastic, it was like,,, “They are here for me, to hear me sing, no one else, just me” and I enjoyed every minute of it. I got to sing to the world (in a weird sense) and it made me properly decide what I want to do in life,,,,, Sing!!
I’ve never been shy about singing in front of any sort of people, whether they be friends, family or strangers, it’s never bothered me, as long as I was doing what I loved and was sharing it with people I don’t care!!
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t believe that I am the best singer in the world, I know for a fact that I am not, and I wouldn’t even compare my self to anyone, that’s not fair, but from all the comments I’ve got in the past I’d say I’m not bad. Lol.
I can’t deny that when I sing I stand out a bit more then others by the fact of my dodgy arm (those of you who know me will understand what I mean) And at this moment in time I have a really dodgy cast on it which has hinges and all sorts on it and makes me look like a freak of nature, but you know what? Even though I have that, I would still get up and sing, no matter what I looked like. Shows that I must be a dedicated singer to not care about my appearance!!
If I was dying, the last thing that would come out of my mouth would be a song of some sort, probably ‘You are my sunshine’ Because that song makes me happy, and I would want to be happy when I die, and I know that if I was singing I would be happy.
You see karaoke is a good way to get noticed, it is a good way to get started and it is a good why to show your feelings. That’s what I do.
