Who would you have to be in a hometown karaoke?

I think I'm the only person from my hometown. I don't even know where my hometown is.

I'd be Damon Albarn, of Blur.

Um...I guess I could be Sarah Maclachlan. She went to my juniour high and high school.

I'd have to be Shania Twain. She's from Timmins, Ontario Canada and that's about 300 miles North from where I live.

Michael J. Fox used to live in my city as a teenager. He's not a famous singer, though, so I guess that doesn't count.
This is a hell of a survey, Dino. Good job.

I've never heard of Damon Albarn or Blur. That must be a band, right?

Yes, popular british band of a few years ago.
Shania is lovely... great figure. Looked wonderful in a tight rubber catsuit.

I don't know of anybody from my hometown who is a famous singer. Apparently Halle Berry comes from my area though. Found that out on the news last night.

Jewel

From San Francisco...

All I can think of is the guys from Train, and bleah!

Okay:
"And now she's back in the atmosphere, with drops of jupiter in her hair, yeah eh eh yeah..."

Milli Vanilli

I agree. I think she is very beautiful. She had a hard time growing up. I think she deserves everything she has.
Good to talk to you, Lex.

So are you going to put on the leopardskin outfit and start singing then ?

Halle Berry gave the most ridiculous public spectacle ever at the oscars.. It was real cringe-making stuff!

Agnes Poetry/ "Until" (Provo Utah)
When I come down from lofty skies
And see your eyes
They tremble like my eyes
When I encompass shards of broken glass
My mind imprisoned like a screaming child
As you speak to my heart don't you know where to start
The barrier is built so tightly killing all who enter
Now I can't rely on the black of your eye
As I run secretly
And in a cloud of mist and a stream of gold I know I'm safe inside my world
Until I feel your voice inside my place
And I know you've found my happiness
My bones so frail I'll grind to dust...
And winds shall grasp and scatter

It is funny, but when I saw this in qual- this band didn't even come to mind. I guess they were not very memorable people to know.
When my husband and I went to a local show, we actually went to see this particular band and then ended up meeting them and hanging out with them a few times after that, we went out to coffee and crap. But then we just lost contact with them. I saw Rannock working at the blockbuster video a few times and he didn't say hello to me, I guess he just thought he was too good to be polite or something. It makes me laugh-cause' I knew that he used to work for "Merry Maids"(a housekeeping service)and I know that he was not very proud of it. Randon and Ranita used to tease him about it. Anyway- It is really too bad that they ended up being dull personalities, thier music is pretty good.

Me? Sing? The dogs will be howling from miles around. But I'll wear the leopard skin

I'd have to be Jarvis Cocker (from Pulp).

"Tonight Matthew, I'm going to be Jarvis Cocker!"

I know! She looked like an idiot with her mouth hanging open like that. And what was that crap she said about wanting another 74 years to give her speech about?

I love singing, though I'm REALLY bad at it. I occasionally sing at work even, when I'm bored or fancy a laugh.

hmmmmmm the leopard skin.... *swoons*

Tonight Survey Central I'm going to be Lisa from Steps!

deborah harry(blondie) is from new jersey........ i'll be her!!
Call me!! call me, anytime, Call me!!!!

so that means you would be singing as who exactly????

Pat Metheny

There's no-one really famous from my home town, but if you allow me to be someone from Cambridge (where I work) then I'll be Dave Gilmour or Roger Waters from Pink Floyd.

Tonight Matthew I'm going to be Robbie Williams.

The Human League were from Sheffield, you could do the female vocals from "Don't You Want Me Baby"

Bob Dylan or Prince.

Well, folks, There are many fine artists from the Boston area, it's true, but I'd like to sing a number tonight from a fellow child of Baltimore, Maryland, who later attended my alma mater, Rhode Island School of Design... Mr. David Byrne.

Sade!

Ummm.. I have no idea... I'll have to look around and get back to you

Welcome back! How was your trip?

Let's see. I can't think of a famous singer from my hometown. Elvis was born about 3 hours north of me, but since I'm a female, I don't think it'd sound right for me to perform as him. Britney Spears is from a town about 4 hours south of me. But, I hate her music and refuse to act like her. So, that leaves me singing as myself.

Probobly the Bare Naked Ladies.

I would have to be one of the guys from Cold Chisel. But maybe you guys in the US haven't heard of Cold Chisel, so the irony is lost on you!

exactly

Glad you noticed I was gone

It was great thanks except the bad weather!

Might have some photos soon because my cousins are gonna send them!

Sorry to hear about the weather. You were in Seattle, Right?

But were the women from Sheffield? I thought they just got picked up at some random club! Maybe it was a club in Sheffield though......

I still think Gynweth Paltrow holds the crown for that one.

No, I was going to go to Vancouver and Seattle!

However, I just went to VC

I was in a pub quiz last week and the comp was Manchester v Sheffield. The Sheffield team had to do a song and did 'Don't you want me baby'. I represented Manchester because they had no-one and me and this other guy did 'The Smiths'

Did you do "How Soon Is Now?"?

'This Charming Man' - although HSIN is my all time fave EVER!!!!

*sings*
"Baby, baby- please let me hold him
I wanna make him stay up all night......."

I would sing what I always sing......"Wild Flower"by Sky Lark


Or "She Works Hard for the Money" by Donna Summers.

I love that song too. The line "There's a club if you'd like to go, you could meet somebody who really loves you. So you go and you stand on your own, and you leave on your own, and you go home and you cry and you want to die" just about sums me up aged 16-21.

same here!

Split Enz...

there aint one in maine cuz maine is so dumb!

what song is that from dino?

http://www.davemcnally.com/lyrics/TheSmiths/HOWSOONISNOW.asp

'How soon is now?' by The Smiths. Currently been done as a cover version on the theme tune to 'Charmed'

I have no idea

David Usher lives here and Leonard Cohen has a house downtown, so it'd be one of those two.

Florence Henderson--how frightening!!!

Nellie Furtado

poor you
