What Do You Do When The Person Leading The Song Sounds HORRIBLE
« on: August 20, 2006, 11:07:16 PM »
Have you ever been in a service and the person singing the lead to the song  was   so horrible that they were funny?  I mean hysterically funny and everybody is in agreement that they are listening to a horrific performance.  True, it doesn't happen often but when it does
What    do you do?  I've seen some sisters get busy looking in their purse for some unknown item. Then there's the old wonder what's up on the ceiling ploy. I've even seen the shoulders  hunched down, head bowed, finger in the air exit.

I heard this lady and she was so glad to be leading a song she tried to do everything that she had seen anybody else do like "wait a minute, I think I'll sing that again", and "this is my verse here"  she sounded funny and I had to fight hard to keep a straight face.  Well, what do you do?

You continue to fight hard and keep a straight face. Have a little talk with Jesus and ask Him to help her out. Were you playing an instrument, in the choir or just in the congregation?

Read the bulletin; read your Bible; read the stained glass windows; read the hymnal; etc.

To be honest, I do try my hardest to just look down, and not laugh, and as SJ said, read the bulletin, etc.  But then there are other times when I just can't control myself, and just give off this look everybody says I have  :-\ when something don't sound right or I will just look up and smile.   :D

She did WHAT ndel?   :D :D

We have a P&W Leader that has this 'issue'.  She'll get up there and sing in her usual key of 'shE Flat (out wrong)' and have the audacity to say 'The enemy don't want me to sang this mawnin' y'all.  He tryna take my voice.'  Now, don't get me wrong, we've all had our bad days...BUT EVERY SUNDAY!!!!?  I do the same thing every time.  I look around for a second, do an about face, walk out the door and hope nobody hears me laughing hysterically.   ;) :D

Now, that should be a clear indication to her or her 'friends'. Someone needs to let her know, seriously.

The MOM has even taken the time to work with her a few times,  :)  she had told her to record herself and listen, (don't know if she did or not) but there are times when she will be on her note  ;D then all of a sudden  :o ?/? ::) she just flys off of it like a rocket, and you hear this BAD note come out of her mouth  ::) :o  and lets not talk about when she is in the choir (soprano), on the front row and you are in front of her directing.  :o   :D

We have a soprano in our section that gets the emboldened (Help me SJon!) treatment above.  It's a sight to behold.   :D :D :D :D
Sometimes our AV crew will turn her mic UP to make sure the elderly saints can hear the *snort* joyful noise [size=4 pt](cacophony)[/size] she makes.

Okay, we have two sopranos, one is actually the choir director. They have this semi-opra squeakin mouse voices. I'm good when my sister is not a service, cause I just give a thank you Jesus praise God smile...BUTTT when my sister is there I can't help but to recall all the comments that we have made about these women' voices.

I know, please pray for me.

My husband who rarely speaks bad about anyone...once came in the room and asked why don't the pastor stand up and yanked the microphone cord out of the plug whne he see's "C" get up to sing...
