Does anyone know a song about a girl who really likes a boy and he likes her too but neither of them will say anything?

Thanks. (link)
sally's song by evanescence

um, a lot of alanis morissette songs are like that


um, i think her "ironic" fits that


http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/michaeljackson/breakofdawn.html

are these kinda nasty lyrics? (link)
well it's sexual without a doubt... I wouldn't call them "nasty" since it's not like graphic or anything like the unedited version of "play" by david banner is...


but it depends on what you were looking to do with it... i wouldn't play that at a wedding, or at school or anything...

but yeah it depends on that.


Well, I am not that great of a singer, But I taped myself singing on my cell-phone today and I dont sound bad. The only problem is I can only sing really werid songs, And I sing to soft its almost to the point you can barely hear me. Is it possible to train your voice to get louder? Any tips? (link)
maybe you're young and going through a phase where your voice sounds breathy (it's because the vocal folds don't quite come together).

you need to take voice lessons to learn proper breath support for singing. that is what will make your voice audible.

but if you don't want to take voice lessons- the main thing is keeping your shoulders still when you breathe in, and breathe so your stomach goes out instead of your shoulders going up.

but there's a lot more to it.


hope i helped.


16/F My whole life consists of singing. It's all I ever want to do. My problem is: in public...I can't sing along to a song unless I'm asked to and everyone puts their full attention on me. I like to sing Country, Rock and R&B mainly. What's stopping me, is that I always make songs my own and can't always blend with the artist. How do I overcome this? Overall, I'd say I'm pretty comfortable with my voice. I just don't want to make it seem like I'm a show-off, but I need people to know I'm into singing because I want to share what makes me happy with those surrounding me. Thank you! (link)
IT'S GOOD THAT YOU MAKE IT YOUR OWN! It just shows you're original! I'm a vocalist too, and my focus is broadway. i don't know about you though, you might be a pop singer or something.


don't try to make yourself blend with the artist. it causes you to sing nasally and that sounds bad.

and i would suggest taking voice lessons even if you're one of those singers who is like "i've never had a lesson in my life"

you might think it will mess up your voice or change it a lot, but voice lessons can only do one thing- improve your voice/technique. but that's if you're serious about singing.


good luck!


How can I set myself apart as a singer? People such as Amy Winehouse and Regina Spektor have a distinct style. How would I go about developing my own... What could I possibly do that has not been done? (link)
I agree with both the people below me.

I just wanted to mention another singer who has her own unique path- Sarah Brightman.

So be like sarah brightman and just start recording songs that sound good in your voice from your favorite genre of music. Don't do anything that you don't think suits you.


i hope i helped. i'm a vocalist too, by the way.


OK Ok I'm singing in the talent show. Its my first time. To a song by Kenny Cheasney summer time.
Uh. I have NO idea what to wear. I can go shopping for it if its not rediculause amount of money. Like 100 for a shirt is juts way to much ok. Can anyone give me pictures of like what i should look for or tell me a place to shop.
I'm not SUPER skinny but im defently not fat. i dont have bad ugly curves but i do ahve curves and hips i dont like. im just like noramle i think. 5'3 and 125 pounds. I need it by next week so even if you think i dont like please show me somthign THANKS (link)
it depends on what kind of image you want to give off. you could show clevage and that would draw attention, or you could look more modest and so they would pay attention to your song/your voice.


Since it's a country song I would wear jeans and one of those button-up collared shirts that has liek the pockets u know... and maybe don't button it all the way and wear a cami under it so that would look really cute.

and wear like a cute necklace that's a heart or something.


Just look your most attractive.


Also- curves aren't bad- theyr'e actually really sexy and great-looking. And whoa 125 that is REALLY thin. so don't go thinking otherwise haha.


The movie, "Stomp The Yard" They play a song by Lil' Jon and Ozzy Osbourne sings in it too and some other rappers too. But I just can't seem to find out who the main person who sings it and what the song is called.

-Thanks (link)
google "stomp the yard soundtrack lyrics"

and see if you can find the lyrics to the song on there.

then it should say who sings it too.

hope i helped.


i need to know the name of an upbeat song without words. you know like the ones they play at magic shows or something like that? what are some of the names of those songs? (link)
the song "in the mood" by some composer is pretty good...


or get some instrumental version of a song that has a good beat (such as Lady Marmalade from Moulin Rouge)


or get an instrumental version of "Everything's Coming up Roses" from the musical "Gypsy".

that sounds pretty magic-show-ish to me.


hope i helped :D


I'm looking a song and the lyrics are like..."I'm curious what you're thinking of. I'm curious if it's me." and then at the end she repeats "Did I ever give up on you"
Does anyone know what song this is?
PLEASE HELP!! (link)
type those lyrics in quotation marks in google and see what comes up. :D


Okay i'm talking about singing here. If you're an alto can you become a soprano with vocal lessons? (link)
the truth of the matter is- ALL WOMEN are sopranos. you do have those notes in your range-you easily can go up to a high E (the phantom of the opera note if you are a fan). You might feel more comfortable in your cheast voice because most people naturally are. With vocal lessons- your range will increase and your head voice will be strengthened, enabling you to sing soprano.

I was actually in a similar position.

hope this helps.
