Okey, here's the thing. I can't sing.
No really, not that I don't sing GOOD, it's just that I sing...really bad. Like, really.
It sounds awful. Not that I think anyone would make fun of me..but still, I need to ask this question.
I've always been the shy quiete girl. And I don't want to be anymore. I want to be seen as a happy & loud person! So my class is doing this kareoke thing, and I want to be happy 6 up for anything 6 justa fun loving girl..but I can't sing!
So is there any fun or cool way of saying no to singing in front of the class? If I just say no everyones going to be all "c'mon, don't be like that.." not that they're gonna pressure me, but I'm going to feel like the boring girl who doesn't know how to have fun.
So can I say it in a fun way and turn this to my advantage?
Or atleast in a cool way so people will keep talking to me,. or atleats find me interesting??
Thank you.

Karaoke was invented in Japan, and I believe it was started by businessmen who wanted to relax after a long day at work. In America, people who can't sing don't like to flaunt that fact, but in Japan that's part of the fun. The point of it is actually to sing badly, and just enjoy it. If you want to get by in life, you have to be able to laugh at yourself. If you don't sing, it's not that you'll look boring, but you'll be denying yourself a good time. I've done it. My voice is horrible, and I'm shy like you, but I had a lot of fun. I suggest that you do it, but if you really don't want to, don't try to be 'cool' about it. Just say that you don't want to, and people should respect that. Nobody's going to hate you for not doing it, but like I said, doing it is a lot of fun so I think you're ripping yourself off.
