Online Karaoke
Apr 23, 2007 | 3:17PM

Fuzzy commented that I should do a song for a blog entry. Julie commented that she'd like to hear some online karaoke as well.

At long last I'm finally getting around to fulfilling their requests :-)

This past weekend I spent some time playing around on an online karaoke website called singshot.com. I had LOADS of fun searching for songs and trying a few of them out. I thought I'd post one of the half-decent ones on here, the rest of my recordings from this weekend, including my standard staple, Tammy Wynnette's "Stand By Your Man", can be found on my SingShot profile:

Don't mind the staticky crackling sound, that's the sound of my fan. I used my laptop's built-in microphone, so it, unfortunately, picked up the fan noises. Hopefully they're not too distracting ;-) Enjoy!

Wow, you did an awesome job Helly! I know a lot of people who would really get a kick out of this! I am absolutely terrified to do one myself though---sure I can remember lyrics and I can hit notes, but I have no tone whatsoever, and would probably sound more like a screeching hyena in a blender than a guy trying to emulate the artist original! ; )

Fun stuff indeed. What's the next song gonna be? You taking requests? LOL

YAY, thanks for doing this Helly, :)

So when does the compilation CD come out?

Runs off to listen to them all

LMAO-- Scot, that's kinda how I view myself, singing-wise. Half the time I can carry a tune okay, and it all really depends on the song.

I've got a handful of other recordings on there, you can find them on my SingShot profile :-)

And hehe, sure, I'll take requests, if you can find the song on that site, that is! ;-) And I make no guarantees that I won't butcher it ;-P

You're really good, Helly! I'm gonna open up my own profile there, too, so you can hear me sing, as well!!! :)

Aww, thanks Julie :-)
And that's awesome-- can't wait to hear you sing!

We've had blog parties with no shortage of alcohol-- now we can add karaoke to the mix, isn't that fun! :-D

It's always more fun to party and sing when you're drunk, LOL.

I'll go check out the site and let you know what my request is, hehehe. I MAY, if I feel spunky enough, do something there too. We'll see ; )

I'll try not to stray too far away from what you usually do...how about something by the Dixie Chicks? A little Goodbye Earl perhaps? Vindictive Helly--now THAT would be quite the listen, LOL. =)

I agree with whats been said, great job with the singing Helly. You are really good at it!

I would do something like this also, but Im kinda shy when it comes to this and I also want to spare everyones ears from the pain of listening to it. lol

Scot-- hehe, that one's a bit tough to do, as its rather repetitive in tone and the best parts are spoken, not sung... so I dunno if I can pull it off. Got any backups?

Oh and I kept forgetting who MY fave artists were, so I opened up my Myspace page and looked up every single artist listed on there, LOL

And Alex-- get a friend or two together and do a joint session! That's the best way to conquer your shyness about it :-)

As soon as I can get a mic with a USB port, I'll be sure to record. The mic I have now delays my singing by half a beat, so I'm behind. But, I'll get it recorded and send it to you! :P

Hmmm... another bio section! Let's see... what could I possibly say that's new/different from stuff you could read in my profile?

Well, I'm a happy Grabber who became addicted to blogging as soon as Grab blogs came out. I hope you enjoy my musings, boring stories of my life, memes and random quiz results :-)

Thanks for reading, and have a great day!
