I finally recorded on Singsnap. Yup, you heard me right. It's under my username here that you're all familiar with, so it'll be easy to find. I look like I'm in pain as I'm singing, but then again, I always look that way when I sing. Geez, I'm honestly rather embarassed about it, but it's done, it's printed and it's out there now, in the neverland of the internet. Yikes!!!!!!! So. Now, when you hear it, I want you to record your own, ok? And if you've already recorded, as I know some of you have, I want you to give me the name you recorded under, so I can go and hear all of you too. So listen, wipe away the tears of laughter, and come back here. I must be really crazy to have done this.............. Have you recorded a Singsnap song? Huh, huh? Come on, tell!

Nova, I've seen your clip and you are seriously one cool Mama! You ain't just got the pipes, ya gots the moves! I saw a couple of head bangs, a bop or two and even a shoulder shimmy! And a cat??? Talk about mixing things up! You have always come across as such a fun lady here on mylot and I now have video proof that you are exactly that! Keep on being you and keep on sing-snapping!

So even with the camera filters you've managed to pick up that I now have a beard and longer hair? I'm trying to sum up the courage to go au naturale like you have Nova, but I'm not quite there yet! I am thinking I might do a conversational message like Mykl did, rather than sing when I'm fully exposed! lol. Let's see. I'm trying to get over an eye surgery at the moment, but will reconsider my options when I am back to normal. Keep doing what your doing in the meantime though because I really do enjoy your energy and outlook on life! You have an amazingly positive aura about you and my Wife and I have watched you several times now and just KNOW that what we are seeing is the true you! You are undoubtedly a heck of a lot of fun!

Maybe I'm a bit more observant than the average bear, hmmm? I dunno, but I was trying hard to discern whatever of your features I could, I have to admit. But it's because I really wanted to see YOU, James. Still do. And yikes!! You have to have eye surgery? Wow, honey, I hope you can get it done soon and get back to normal. But lemme ask you this. Why wait till then to show that beautiful face? If you ask her, I'm quite sure your wife would agree, you're no less gorgeous because of a need for eye surgery. But I do understand that it IS a leap to put our face right out there, warts and all. It's a freaky thing to do, but somehow liberating too, I think. And you've both watched me several times????? Geez, James, that's such a compliment! Please tell her I said thank you, honestly. You've both touched my heart with what you said.

Thanks a huge bunch, James!!!!! What can I say? Fun is my middle name. Seriously, if I can't have fun, then what's the point? I've lived long enough to truly appreciate the whole concept of getting as much fun out of whatever I'm doing at any given moment. The cats are definitely part of that. Boy, talk about fun! They're masters at it!! We could learn a thing or two from cats, ya know. I happen to have three and two of them have a penchant for camera hogging. Lil sh!ts. Even so, they're my heart. And as far as Singsnap goes, man oh man, have I ever found a new addiction!! Clearly I love doing it. But I love to sing. I do it all the time, wherever I am. Well, almost wherever I am. And I will keep it up, definitely. Ha! Try and stop me! Now. About you. It looks from the psychedelic vision we get of you on Singsnap, like you have a beard and long hair. Do ya? I saw your 2 year old pic and I'd love to see the way you are now. Personally, I think you look gorgeous. And that voice! Pure bliss. So please consider showing us your face without all that green lightning bouncing over it, ok? Please? Come on , don't be shy. Hey! That's one of my favorite Cat Stevens songs. Don't Be Shy! I've asked Singsnap to get some of his music. They have NONE of it!!! Unconscionable!! See you out there, darlin. (and show your face!) xxx

I answered straight from my email inbox. I had though went and read what others said after I had posted. I went to the site and even sent the site link to my mom. I think it is a cool site and just maybe will be able to do it if I find the right kinda song for my wobbling voice. If I do it it would be under mtdewgurl74..but until I do.. I will just enjoy listening to the others. I seen that you done a great job and and mike also..You Rock!

Ha! A full moon would be a great idea, darlin. Hmmm, makes me think you might have seen a comment I made on one of Mykl's discussions........... But come one, sugar, try it out. It's made for fun and that's all you have to do. Have fun. We'd love to see or hear you or both, trust me, we would. xx

I think you should be able to hear it if you go to http://www.singsnap.com/snap/watchandlisten/play/bdd63678 and I don't think you have to sign in or anything like that. Hey, momma, so many people from the Lot have done it - how about YOU????? Come on, momma, you can do it! I know you can!!!

If I recorded on singsnap the site would crash in horror............so, no singing for me. I'll leave that to people who don't make babies cry when they open their mouths in song. Good for you though nova, and good to have you back here. You've been missed.

I'm not sure exactly what you want, Delkar, but the only place I know to go and record is Singsnap. That might not be what you have in mind, but it's the only program I know. So sorry I couldn't be of more help. Good luck to you Delkar.

The idea of making a recoding for all to hear is most inviting. As far as looking like I'm in pain while making it, that also comes naturally. So, naturally I wanted to get started right away. But I realized it has been quite some time since I've had a case of bean burritos and alas, have nothing to record.

Okay. This is like so cool. I have to have a microphone. My 6 year old loves to sing too. Nova you did great. Love all the faces and definately the head banging bits were funny. You did wonderful though. And I looked up Irish and Loud. Yall were great to. Who knew we had so much talent on the lot.

Hi, SusanShayAvon. Great name!! You and your 6 year old need to go to radio shack or something and get an inexpensive microphone or headset/with/microphone or even a camera/with/microphone and get on Singsnap and have a total blast together. He would love it! And you would too. I'm so glad you got some laughs out of my singing and headbanging and faces, darlin, truly I am. That was part of the point. I wanted to be totally myself so my friends could really see the real me. And that's definitely what they saw. I didn't do a second take or anything - I just put the first try out there, no matter what. And oh, before I forget, another one you need to listen to is James72!! He's amazing! You can hear him on Loud's profile. I don't know what his Singsnap name is. But as I said, he's on Loud's profile and he's got a beautiful voice, truly. So listen, when you and your child get your mike, put out a song, and be SURE to let us know when you do it so we can go hear it, ok? Pleeeeeease?

Hey, no bogarting!!!! Rosekitty honey, get stoned, do whatever you need to do and get your sweet lil butt to Radio Shack for a microphone, woman! No fair, making us be the only ones! Wah. I wanna hear you too! Sconibear - I KNEW there was something about you I liked....... (puff, puff, ack, ack, can't get off if you don't cough - ha! ever hear that one?)

Oh man, now I've gone crazy!! I've recorded 2 more songs today! At karoake it's hard for me to give up the microphone. Now I'm addicted to Singsnap. Is there a l2 step program for Singsnp addiction?

What tears of laughter? It made me smile the whole time I was listening, but no laughing. Nope, no songs for me. I am there, just haven't found anything I can sing, yet. I did find one, but someone else here already did it, and I am not about to mess that song up, uh uh, no way!

Am not. They are either too high or to low for me to sing. And the ones that aren't, I don't even know!

Thank you, Bo!!!! Geez, that was hard to do! To not only record myself, but to have my camera on at the same time!!!!!!!!! Sheesh! But find a song, honey, please find a song to sing. All of us, and I mean ALL of us want to hear you! And if I made you smile, Bo, that completely warms my heart. Hey, Mykl! Have you done one yet? Huh? Huh? Bock, bock!!!

I never heard of singsnap, I like to sing, like I be practicing in the mirror, or in the shower lol, I recorded a couple songs, but I'm too embarrassed to let people hear it, I put a couple of the ones I liked the most on myspace, I got good feedback...But I'm still embarrassed that people are listening to me sing lol, I'm going to check yours out maybe you'll give me some inspiration to do the same
• United States
18 Feb 09
Pinkykisses, if you can do it on Myspace, you can do it on Singsnap, for sure!!! Why not anyway? Nothin to lose, and lots of fun to gain. And it gives your friends here a chance to see a much more personal aspect of yourself, which I think is a lovely thing to do. So consider me your inspiration, and go girl!!!!!
