swinging
Hey, I'm the person who posted the question about triplets and quarter notes in the song "Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again" from the Phantom of the Opera. My friend listened to me sing the song, and she said it sounded too uptight and exact. She said that I should swing it a little to sound more natural. What is swinging and should I do it for this song?

I love that song! Swinging would be like instead of 2 eight notes, it would be a dotted eight note and a sixteenth note. But dont swing it. Try to make the notes flow together more. The song is a love song, you're singing about the one you love, so you'd want it to flow together and looser. Be creative with it and change it to make it sound better.

Pay a little less attention to the rhythm and more attention to the notes and how the song makes you feel.
Keep the general idea of he rhythm, but loosen up. Be freer with the notes. You're telling a story - talking about someone you cared about, whom you miss. As I said, no one's gonna be concentrating on rhythm when they're singing about something of that nature.
Don't swing the rhythm - that's like, making two eighth notes a dotted eighth and a sixteenth (Kind of) - just loosen it a little. Take some liberties.
Go with emotion before anything else.
Good luck!

well i love that song number one =) but yeah. well she probably means it doesnt flow. instead of just singing the notes sing the "song" look more at it as a whole, and really show expression in not only your face but in your voice. to help is flow, sometimes making your hand go left to right in a figure 8 helps, then once you got the hang out it you wont need to do that anymore. hope i helped =)
