Question

Help answer this question below.

How do you tell someone that thinks they sound amazing when they're singing, that they sound really horrible? BTW- I only want to do this for my friends own good. Don't want her to be embarrassed like all those people during the first few shows of Idol.

    If she were my friend, I wouldn't. It's not like she's wearing a dress that makes her look pregnant that takes a quick wardrobe change. This sounds like something she loves doing. I think it's more important to let your friends know that you believe in them. She will learn that people don't hear her singing as she hears it, so there's no need for you to be the messenger.

    You should tell your friend, especially if they want to be a professional or go on Idol or sing a solo for some concert or something. BUT YOU NEED TO DO IT GENTLY AND BE SENSITIVE TO THEIR FEELINGS!!!!! If they're just singing for fun, use your judgement. You might still want to tell her, but if she's only doing it because she loves it ( and isn't set on going somewhere with it), it shouldn't really matter anyway, right?

    Be very kind, my friends and I get together and sing a few were in a band, so we all sound good, but one person is always trying to sing, but cannot at all. He has told me I have a great voice how can I help him?? I told him he has not only to sing but to hear yourself. That is the key, he said he can't hear himself and I told him he say to learn this..

    Record them, and let them hear for themselves. If they still think they sound great, then their level of self-delusion is so great nothing you could do would dent it.

    At least she is cheerful and brave. Unless she is actually planning on auditioning, keep it to yourself and let her sing.

    wait until you hear her singing and then burst in the room and ask "who let the dogs IN?"
