Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Ive thought that i can sing all my life but never had the guts to sing in front of my friends. Anyhow i met a wonderful man recently and i don't seem to have any inhibitions with him so i thought i would impress him with my birdlike vocals! Turns out i can't sing, but do you know what i don't care cos i love to sing and i will continue!!! record yourself or ask a really greta friend to be honest!!
