The associate at K-Mart was extremely helpful and genuine when I went there this morning. It made what I had to do just a little bit easier. Thank you for that, miss.

I have an open inquiry to any readers out there: When you are in your car, and you are jamming out to whatever the CD of choice is, do you use your own voice to sing along or do you mimic the lead singer of the band/artist and their own vocal characteristics? Please respond... inquiring minds want to know.

I usually mimic the singer's voice in particular songs: "Respect" by Aretha, "Stairway to Heaver", "'Talkin' About My Generation" by The Who...

But other's I'll (try) to do my best to not kill the song with my own vocal abilities.

Mhmm.

It heavily depends on the song.

On some songs how you sound is important. I would deffinately try to immitate on songs like "I will survive" and "You've lost that loving feeling". In those songs the sound of the voice is important on the song.

Other songs it's more about the emotion the song conveys... screaming Green Day or Nine Inch Nails is much more fun then trying to match the singers voice.

Typically in my car I only sing along to the second kind.

I always mock vocal characteristics, except for when I was in musicals, because then it spoils the originality of the show. Maybe you already knew that....

When I was a very young kid I used to be obsessed with mimicking vocal patterns and intonation. I think part of that is what got me into theater.

I usually belt out the lyrics knowing I sound awful. Why sing it unless you make it your own?
Normally a disco finger and head bob is included with my driving antics. Oh yea, if I know I am putting on a show for fellow drivers I might as well go all out.. Ya know? I know I can't match the vocals of the musician so why try... Happy Holidays.

I cannot sing many songs that i love (my voice cannot reach any high notes without cracking horribly) so i pretty much just belt them out. I can do a few of my bands (easy ones like No One or pissing razors) but stuff like death metal is impossible, its surprisingly hard to do.
