I think that a lot of people would do it if they have too because they would do anything to be with their loved one especially my one friend who would do anything to be with her boyfriend or to see him she would even run away with him because she loves him a lot and her parents don't approve of him because of the race that he is and they want her to marry an indian guy and she doesn't want to and I think that it is really sad because anyone should be able to marry the person that they fall in love with. Because than it is not a happy life because you are not married to someone that you truly love and will pretty much be miserable their whole lives because being forced to marry someone that you don't love is always a cruel punishment.

yes i agree with you. i really hate those parents that want force their kids to marry someone they dont love. for sure they will be unhappy bcs they dont love each other. and yes i really wish your friend can run away with her bf to be with him^^ besides what race is him?^^ my bf is also from a different race but i dont care^^ i love him so besides i love his race ahah^^ your friends parents should understand her and let her be with guy she loves^^

Hi dear, Yes, I can join with you for singing. But not to earn money to meet my gf from abroad. I can sing and I used to sing for programs as well. The only issue is that I will sing in my language and you will be in yours. Now I think we will sing separately, means I am from here and you are from there and the earning we can share. How is it? Here, singing on the street is not so popular and people who sing in the trains used to make a better income. Some years before even I thought of the same like, if I am not getting a better job, get a guitar and small speakers and amplifiers connected and travel in the train by singing and playing, and I could have make a lot of money. Yes, not joking, I can do it. But for the time being, not now. Regards, Thank-s

aw thats great^^ so why didnt you do it before? if you sang so well you could had have a good career^^ also now too. you are not old. besides there was a woman that went to a program similar with american idol that was older than you and everyone liked her voice and she became too famous even in youtube. so why dont you try put your videos in youtube also?^^ and sing in the street too?^^ for sure you can still do it^^

ahah why? you cant sing well or are you shy?^^ im happy that you will find a part time job for your wife^^ but you already have one job so^^ and you want to study more? why? to have a better job than now?^^ i see you really care for your wife's happiness but you also have to think about yourself and you cant just have two jobs and study at same time. and do all alone.

I would! ^.^ Busking would be the least I would so I can be with my fiance. I would swallow fire, swords, anything! ^.^ But kidding aside, I think most people would be surprised about the things they're capable of when done for love. :)

If I needed to earn money and could earn it by singing I sure would sing in the streets to earn money. Sounds like an easy enough way to earn money but I have a terrible singing voice so I would not earn anything lol. Maybe people would throw money at me just to get me to stop singing lol.

LOL well you can say that because you have never heard me sing. I promise I am not just being modest. I truly cannot carry a tune. I sing horribly! The guy that I was seeing I am still seeing. Nothing has progressed any further but I stopped sleeping with other people and am just sleeping with him. He satisfies me enough that I dont feel I need anyone else. He has ruined me. If things dont work out with him I'm never going to be able to find someone else who pleases me like he does lol.

ahah shaggin^^ what an exaggeration^^ i dont think you sing that bad for people to throw money at you to stop singing. but sure you are sweet by saying that you would do that if you had a good voice. i think it is needed courage to just go and sing by yourself in the street^^ anyway im happy that you would do it for your love. anyway how is that guy that you told me about before? i miss to talk to you^^ i been so so busy working that rarely come here :( how are things between you and him? is he your bf now?

ahah i wish i could^^ if i had a friend with a guitar i would^^ my bf has a guitar and knows how to sing^^ he even worked in a bar^^ he could do that for me but i think he is ashamed of it :( i wish he could do that for me just to earn money to come see me^^ bcs me i can just sing alone^^ also i dont have a mic with me to sing louder. i just wish i had a friend with a band and we could do that together :( i have to find other way to earn money. unless i put my videos in youtube and many people watch and like it and i can earn money^^ some friends said i have a cute voice^^

Hi, For sure, I won't be doing that...no matter how deep is my love for him, I won't sing in the street just to see my boyfriend. If he really love me, then he should fly back to see me,right? I can think of other way to earn money,but not sing in the street. There are plenty of part time vacancy that I can go and try out,or simply do online job which can earn me some income too.

I think if I met any girls who really love me and always caring for me. Then I can do this. But before in my life I never do this. Because I know my voice is too bad. But for my someone special I can do this. But in present I am a single person and yet I have not met my someone specials.

If I sang in the street I wouldn't earn ANY money, unless that is people paid me to shut up!! As my mum used to say 'I was behind the door when God gave out singing voices' !!

Yes, but it is soo much easier said than done. Things are so hard right now for EVERYBODY... and it can take a toll on the relationship. We all just have to be strong enough to make it through.

aww so if you sing pretty well and think you can win much money with it why dont you do it?^^ at least you will be working on something you like and if people contribute with much you dont need to work so many hours^^ and im sure they wouldnt laught at you bcs if you say you sing well who knows maybe a talent searching man can appear and ask you to be your manager and you be famous even^^ you should try really if you are a good singer^^

i understand what you mean^^ its great that you are still studying. and sure sing in the street i dont think is that easy. i wish i could do that but i just feel too shy to just go and sing alone ahah i would be very nervous and would feel like people maybe wouldnt like it enough. but sure at least if you try to do that for someone you love is already great^^ dont you agree? i think it is very romantic^^ even sure is hard to have the courage to do so.

Hi, Nice question. Now I shall ask one. Suppose I am professionally street singer, then? No, I am not joking. At least partly. I am a theater worker. i act and direct also. I have done shows on the streets. There are always SONGS in my shows!Now, for a person like me, who gifted with a girlfriend who is with me for the last 12 years and always have an empty pocket, I need to work a lot on the streets to go to meet her! Have I answered your question?
