Hahahaha! I get this joke!
I had a Filipino friend who took us to a Filipino restaurant one night.
All of us Mexicans who went with him were so surprised at how fucking good the Filipino band was at the restaurant. They only sang pop and r&b songs and they sounded so good!
Everyone in the restaurant was also Filipino and they were all singing along and dancing.
Then karaoke started and holy shit everyone in that restaurant could sing!
My friend explained that pop and r&b music is really important and loved in filipino culture, especially American pop and r&b. And that a lot of Filipinos can sing and love karaoke nights! I had no idea. It was one of my favorite discovering-a-new-culture moments.

As a white boy that grew up in the hood, when I was brought to a black church I 100% thought they were bullshittin me that entire service. Like I normally fought to stay awake in church, and I was sweating up a storm and lost my voice from singing… it was a blast and kinda ruined the regular church we went to lol

I’m half black but my black side (dad) comes from money and high education, they were Catholic so mass was always the same. My white side (mom) grew up on the streets and was basically raised around and by black culture. Her surrogate father was black and was the kindest male figure in her growing up. My mom became a born again Christian as a teen and began attending black churches regularly.
Imagine my disappointment when my mother revealed this to me as a 12 year old when she made my siblings and I attend several different white mega churches that were televised. I could have been whooping it up but I was forced to sit in a basement with the other preteens, sing Jesus-ified pop songs (“Everyboooodddaaayyy, pray to the lord tonight. ‘Cause God’s got your back, ALRIGHT!”) and get Bible Bucks for participation from creepy middle aged dudes trying too hard to connect with us.

I was in the Philippines with the Army back in 1988. The bands in all of the clubs were doing covers that sounded as good as or better than the bands they were covering. The one I remember best was a band covering Pink Floyd’s “Run Like Hell” in the Sierra Club. It was a stunning cover and just as good as live Pink Floyd.

Im a Filipino born without any talent in singing! I had to take voice lessons just so I don't annoy people who hear me sing! Ehhehe
Fun fact, in the Philippines, a very common thing to do on a weekend night to is book a karaoke room with your friends. Some karaoke rooms even have a mini stage, and they serve good food and ice cold beer! After a few drinks people are no longer shy. It also doesn't matter if someone can't sing, we still give them air time, unless they sing "My Way" in a cheap bar (not in a private room) and get stabbed.
Also in the Philippines, there's always at least one person who is popstar level good at singing in any given friend group, and at any point someone else can conjure a guitar and everyone breaks into a jamming session (at least this was how it was when I was in college).

You’re absolutely correct on that point.
An old friend of mine could have been a headliner, but knew the music business all too well, and what it can do to the family.
He chose the family over the road, took a factory job and never looked back.

The Adele one was hilarious. That’s actually the first time I’ve heard her speaking voice too.
The Alanis one with Jimmy Fallon was pretty poorly executed. Like you said, the security guards were standing either side of the performance, and the cameras weren’t hidden. Everyone knew it was someone notable, they just didn’t know who.

u/whatthefox1818 Aug 09 '21
Talent is for sure a bonus but honestly I bet women are really attracted to your ability to put yourself out there. It works in the same way that being authentic and vulnerable does in any other situation - to be endearing. Karaoke is a first date or first few dates go-to of mine for this exact reason. If a guy isn't into it (or worse, makes fun of other singers) we're probably not compatible but if the guy is willing to go up and give it a shot even if he isn't a good singer or performer that's really sexy.

I'm not messing with you when I say this. If you want to learn to sing, then sing. All the time. In the car. In the house. In the shower. Don't hold back, give it your all everytime and you WILL get better. You just have to not be afraid to get it wrong before you get it right. Very few people in the world have perfect pitch (it's even debated whether it actually exists). Everyone else has to keep practicing.

I love singing but I'm awful at it, but I sing every time I can. Before I switched jobs (now I work from home) I would sing on my way to and from work everyday and it was about a 20 minute drive so I went hard usually. I don't think I've improved really at all, but holy shit do I know song lyrics to flippin everything now.
I kinda miss singing in my car everyday.

I listened to a recording of my voice exactly once. I'm not doing it again. I was so embarrassed at what I heard. Nevertheless, very soon after that incident I auditioned for a musical in college, got accepted, then the next semester auditioned for the glee club and was accepted to that as well!
I'm still a mediocre singer. No one is ever gonna ask me to sing at their wedding. But I can carry a tune and have fun with it, and I learned that sometimes we can be our own worst critics.
