Once, someone told me that I was only the second-worst singer in the world.

That's pretty much the nicest thing anyone has ever said about my voice.

An older lady told me I reminded her a lot of Perry Como. It made me insanely happy.

But, you comparing me to fresh pancakes made me happy also.

The closest thing I've ever received to a compliment started with, "Well, that wasn't as bad as...". Or, when someone says 'please' before asking me to stop.

The funniest compliment I ever got was back in college, where an "old-timer" patron came up to me and said, "Not since Madey Padikin have I heard such a terrific voice on that stage!"

I thanked him and smiled cluelessly.

It took me a few minutes to realize he meant "Mandy Patinkin."

I made the congregation at a funeral applaud...I was shocked and embarrassed.

Domingo told me I had an incredible voice. Walked across the room to shake my hand. Needless to say, I was almost unconscious seconds later.

My family was impressed with me when I did the four questions last passover.

At a bar, after singing karaoke to the Fugees' version of killing me softly, a table of three men gave me a standing ovation while shouting "Best of the night!"

I hope they weren't being sarcastic.

not too long ago, I recorded myself singing "The Worst Pies in London" for some friends, and one of them, an Englishman, said I had the "best cockney ever!" to which I replied "awright, mate, fancy a pint or a cop-off up in me digs, then?"

Are you sure you didn't say...

"'Ow'dja like a li'le MUFF, mistah? We'll go JIG-JIG, a li'le bounce around the bush?"

Eh, today at voice lessons, my teacher told me my "ah" was getting too Audra McDonald-y. Granted, it wasn't at all a compliment, but anything I can do like Audra, makes me happy!

A Canadian Idol judge (and music producer) telling me I could put out a successful record right now.

Once I was singing in my yard along to my ipod, thinking no one was around. A few days later, my neighbor, who is a vocal coach (which I didn't know at the time), told me that she had heard, and that I had an amazing voice... that was nice to hear.

Well just today, in my World History class we had to make a song about The Age of Absolutism and perform it for the class (I wrote mine to the tune of Pirelli's Miracle Elixir) and I got a standing ovation. That felt good.

I was just told by a vocal coach who does not give compliments randomly that she has never had a beginner (which is what i am) sound as good as i do. that was cool.

And now we know why you started this thread.

[Cruel_Sandwich]

Posted: 10/25/07 at 9:02pm

Oddly enough, that just happened today. I started this thread up at three in the morning last night.

Cruel: Huh! Well, you must be prescient, then.

b12b: I think you told me that story before! Love it!

"Well, that was certainly interesting" and then a long awkward pause.

Lets just say singing isn't really my forte.

Oh, and I just have to do it, to make sure the mistake isn't perpetuated. It's received. (Thread titled fixed above.)

I got told by my director that I sound just like Rosemary Clooney after an audition, needless to say I got called back

I was also told I sound like an older Judy Garland
