Just a lil question
« on: April 11, 2004, 09:52:28 PM »
Im sure most of us if not all have seen and heard otaku duet. We love Michael's skills behind the piano(keyboard) and Natalie's voice. My one question is, how is Michael's voice? there are a lot of anime songs that have males sing them, and was wondering if Michael ever sings.

I had to get to this post before Natalie embarrased me to no end, lol.  Honestly, I have tried and tried to sing, Natalie has tried to teach me to sing, I've even read books about singing, but I'm absolutely incapable.  Even Natalie abandoned the effort and declared me "hopeless". >.<  
I just cannot produce a sound that is tolerable to human ears, I'm sorry... :-(

I'm sure you're not THAT bad. We always dub ourselves worse than we really are at whatever we do. ^_^

Can I use your post as an argument for not taking anymore sightsinging classes at school, though? I can't distinguish intervals, I'm sorry. And you wanna know what the stupid part is? They tell us to practice with a piano. How are we supposed to learn to distinguish intervals on our own after relying on that crutch?

Not to mention that I haven't been able to fit singing into my schedule for a year..... >.>;;; :::doesn't wanna imagine how she sounds:::

So Michael, what you think Natalie would declare me as?
"Yeah I remember this one, this is where the Coyote sat his ass down in a sling shot and strapped himself to an acme rocket, is that what we are doing here?"

"Rockhound,"

"No, no really because it didn't work out to well for the Coyote!"

You've got the testicles, period. ^_^ Okay, how about next time there's Karaoke Revolution, I sing? Make sure you're there or you'll miss it.

Too bad it's got Like A Virgin and not Like A Prayer. I'm much better with the latter. :p

:cry: I want to play Karaoke Revolution... Finally, a game I wouldn't suck at! ...I'd want to play a Japanese version, though. But then again, what kinds of songs do they have for it?

I can only remember a couple...

Complicated
Like A Virgin
One Week (I think you have to unlock this one)
Waiting For Tonight
When A Man Loves A Woman

And that one that Alex sang that I can't remember for the life of me. Okay, I'm done.

Oh man, at Katsucon I saw Karaoke Revolution for the first time, and I dragged Natalie over there.  She never saw it before, so I was just like sing the song!  Damn, she kicked some butt, lol

Too bad she wasn't there in club that day. We could have used someone who didn't change key every two bars. X_X!!!
