Laaaaaaaa! anyone remember the "showoff" singers?

highdose

i can remember several. Both male and female. Belting and roaring out those awfull kingdom melodys as if to say " look how well/ loudly i sing, i'm so much more spirtual that all of you!"

One bro used to hit impossibly high notes by standing feet together and rocking up and down. It was always really difficult to sing with one of them near you, mostly because you couldn't hear yourself! anyone also remember the "watery voice" sisters? or maybe that was just a UK thing. These sisters sounded like they were singing from underwater, warble warble warble!

to end i'd like to invite everyone to stand and sing song number 101 " i'm now free!" 1,2,3! " LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

Hell yes! We had a Brother who would sing like an opera singer drowning out the other 124 singers. Jackass!

I don't have a singing voice. Wish I did. I'm at an age now where I should (and I am) be ashamed of mocking those who could sing "well" regardless of what they sing. BUT, there are those who can't sing are well deserving of my mockerey. lol

Ha! I was one of those......I used to sing in choir in school...alto. I loved to sing. The songs were the highlight of the meetings for me. Yep, bet it came off as a showoff...but pullleeesssse...we had no "church choir" to join....so it's all I had.

We had two pain in the ass singers, one is now COBOE , he would belt it out slightly flat.

The other one was a sister,now moved to a foreign language congo, she used to warble at a terrific volume,and would always hold the end notes longer than anyone,so you heard her last,as well as loudest. (apart fom that she was a lovely person, the guy WAS and is, an asshole)

Once I held the end note longer than her,just to make a point, I think they were well in to the first item on the service meeting by the time she surrendered, my wife never forgave me !

I only had a problem with those who sang extremely off key. I knew one sister who realized that and just mouthed the words. I went to some congregations where it appeared I was a showoff singer....it was just that everyone else sang in a whisper. At least I sang on key.

Believe it or not, one of the loudest and worst I ever heard was old quack-bat Society lawyer Hayden Covington.

Of course, he was characteristically drunk at the time.

Back in the days when we used pianos to accompany the singing, I very bizarre sister would visit our congregation once a year. Her singing (like her speaking voice) was so loud and strident that it would actually disrupt the singing overall. She told me she played the piano, so I thought great, I'll ask her to play the piano. She readily accepted. I felt a feeling of accomplishment until it was time to sing the first song. Not only was her piano playing almost as bad as her singing, but unlike most of us who played the piano for the meetings, she played and sang.

Had I not stopped attending meetings two years ago, I'd still be getting flack for this.
