Question Posted Tuesday October 18 2005, 2:36 pm

I tried out for a solo in chorus but I didnt get it. And now Im really mad because I ALWAYS win at singing and get solo's. Im not used to this. Plus, a girl I HATE got it. And she always says shes better than me.. And this just PROVES it. <b>What do i do?..</b>

-Saddddd

A famous woman once said "Follow your dreams, work hard, practice and persevere." Just because this time your not the best doesnt mean you should quit. No matter what, in life there will always be someone smarter, prettier, more athletic, more talented...we just have to deal with it and move on. Tell that girl congratulations and your happy for her! You will grow as a person and shell know you a mature person; and next time when you get it your bound to get the same polite attitude back! =] Just remember "Don't give up. Don't lose hope. Don't sell out." -Christopher Reeve
Have faith in your self, your as good as you believe you are! <3

Don't put yourself down over that. I know that solos may seem like a huge deal to you, but don't make yourself think that you weren't good enough because you didn't get the part. It doesn't prove that she is better either, its life's way of saying that other people have their own talents like yours, and that they have to have their turn too, even if the girl isn't your favorite person in the world. I know it has to hurt to have your reputation of winning ruined, but its going to look bad if you have a bad behavior about it, its like if someone were to know that you were so angry about not getting the part, they'll just think, "wow, I thought she was a better person than to say those things because she didn't win." You just have to say, 'hey, just because I didn't win this time, it doesn't make me suddenly bad at it, I'm still great at solo, and I guess other people are good too, so I just have to go my separate way, and know that someone else is feeling the feeling I had when I won, and even though shes not a very good person, at least someone else can have a turn.' You have to keep a good attitude about it, and stay strong. Thats what makes a winner a true winner at life.

It only goes to show you that nobody's perfect. It may sound cliche, but it's true! Maybe your voice is good, just not appropriate for a particular song. There's nothing you can do about the girl who got it, I mean, come on, are you going to brainwash someone to take the part away from her? Of course not. There's not much to do...but to practice really hard for the next solo. Maybe you can ask your teacher/music instructor what to change for next time.

What do you do? You deal with it. There really isn't anything you can do, she got the part and you didn't, she was better than you. Everyone fails sometimes, you just have to learn to deal with it.

wow...ive been there before! cept i was the girl that came back... and got hated for it because they all thought they were better than me. maybe it was because you always got the solo and the judges or whoever wanted to give someone else a chance. be the better person...congradulate her and let it go. theres nothing you can do about it. you'll get it next time. <3

You suck it up. It's annoying but people will think better of you if you don't go around bitching about it. You win some you lose some. no need to act delighted for her but put on a smile and be a good loser.

ya...i know how that goes. ive been in the same situations many times. i saw it as that even though i consider myself a very talented singer, and the teacher may too (esp. if youve had solos b4) the teacher has to make it fair to everyone. i wouldnt be pissed, id just remember that you cant have everything you want all the time and be positive

Just because you didn't get the part doesnt mean that you are not really good it means that you need to try harder next time. If you show a good attoiude and pretend like it doesnt bother you it will bother that girl. She is not the nest. There is always someone that is going to be better no matter what. Even her. She is not better because she did not show good sportmanship. You are the better one because you didnt rub it in any other time. Dont worry someone will come along and actually be better than her. Dont be sad because i think you will make the part next time. Just practice more and you will get it.

You have to realize that you can't always get what you want, but on the same side of that coin - neither can she. Instead of whining about how you didn't get it, look at what she did better and use that to improve.
