if he sings infront of you and he asks how he did, tell him some things to encourage his dream but to make him a better singer as well. like if his pitch sucks, tell him towork on it. give him helpful critisism. that will help him and make it easier for you tell him.

This is problem that seems amusing but does put your friendship at stake.

First of all, just support him if he doesn't ask for your opinion. Sooner or later someone who is not you will let him know.

If he does ask you for advice/opinions, tell him you think maybe he has talent elsewhere. Think beforehand about what his really great abilities are and tell him that you love those things about him.

And buy earplugs. ;-)

Well if you guys are like best friends and you are a good friend you should be honest and tell him that he sux, but in a way thats not to hurtful. If he really is that bad you wouldnt want him to be embarissed and be mad at you for not tellling him the truth. Who knows, if he really is that bad, do u want him to become the next wiliam hung??

Just tell him sweetly that he should practice alittle more before he tries for american idol. Or if you really think he CANT sing just tell him that he should go for (what ever hes good at).
H.i.H.

But just be honest with him. Cuz ive seen ppl whove said that all of their friends said they could sing and then they got all upset when they found out that the friends were lying.

Just tell him that he's alright but you think he could be good at something else and give him examples like dancing or an author or writing poems.. etc.

thats a hard decision..
one*you can tell him your opinion nd say that you dont thaink that he would make it on american idol or
two*you can support him and lie to him..i might be rong but i say you should tell him the truth..if he is really serious about going on american idol then i would say to ask someone if they think he has a good voice to make sure its juss not you then i would let him down easy..first, ask him if thats realy wat he wants nd if he says yes then be like im really sorry but i dont think your strong point is singing, maybe you could try something else and im really sorry im juss looking out for you..i really hope that helps..sorry =[ or maybe you can say something else like that?im not sure..good luck and memba tell him nicely nd make sure to be comforting..hope that helps, please rate xOx risSii

Let your friend go after his dream. Support him, encourage him and be ready to be there if he fails. If he asks your honest opinion be honest, but tell him you will still support him and be there for him because thats what real friends are for.

Even though he's terrible, let him dream on! haha! He will soon probablly realize that he isn't very good, and its a dream more likely not to come true!

You dont need to tell him. That one guy will do it for him. Simon or whatever he is pretty harsh. Dont worry about it just help support him. You shouldnt trash his dreams. Just encourage him to also do another thing for his life rather then sing.-trix

advicequeen answered Monday January 24 2005, 10:45 pm:
if he really is THAT bad...then he won't get very far and you shouldn't worry about it. But if you want to stop him from being hurt then just be like "hmm you can sing okay, but I think you have some better talents and youre singing is not going to get you very far, but I'm just bein honest." He might get mad at you at first, but he'll realize its for his own good later on and its to prevent him from getting hurt.
