Amanda	posted 23-Feb-2005 3:09pm Maybe solo pop. Maybe something else. I've never given it much thought because I'd never be a professional singer. My singing skills suck!

dora	posted 23-Feb-2005 7:04pm I am a singer. As in I sing, not as in fame and money. I would be a "whatever singer".
Amanda	(reply to justjulie) posted 23-Feb-2005 9:39pm Great minds? I was thinking more along the line of weird minds! BTW, did you get my email yesterday?
ohh_chariot	posted 23-Feb-2005 10:16pm I'd be a lounge singer. There's nothing more sultry than a lounge singer's voice.
Jemmy	posted 23-Feb-2005 10:48pm Either rock or R&B. I would like to play a guitar and rock, but I also love the big range of R&B singers. Maybe if I could combine the 2.
BerrieGrrl	posted 24-Feb-2005 12:03am i picked 'soft rocker' like maybe an alanis morrisette or somethin, but it'd be fun to be a beyonce, too...shake my bootie, have some nice bling.
Strider	posted 24-Feb-2005 12:52am rock and roll
Maarten	posted 24-Feb-2005 4:24am Like one of the Sonic Youth band members (they all sing).

Cain	posted 24-Feb-2005 8:50am I would like to sing metal, rather than any off the options here. A female Johnathan Davis. What's CCM?
justjulie	(reply to Amanda) posted 24-Feb-2005 8:58am hehehehe...weird minds, agreed. yes i did get your email yesterday...i was about to write you back after i was done messing around on here...
bill	(reply to justjulie) posted 24-Feb-2005 9:47am
Zang	posted 24-Feb-2005 10:04am I am a singer, although I wouldn't say that I have much in the way of talent, fame or money. I'm not sure what sort of genre of music I would slot myself into, but it wouldn't be any of those. Maybe Post Rock/Experimental Electronic?
autumnlight	posted 24-Feb-2005 10:14am If I was going to be a singer I wouldn't be one type. My first record would be alternative, then I'd release a pop record, then a metal, but never rap.
Jody	posted 24-Feb-2005 10:24am I'd love to be able to sing torch songs. That would rock.
Danger	posted 24-Feb-2005 1:16pm I would be a rapper or a punk rocker. Mostly because I don't really sing well, and for those you don't really need to. Also, that's the kind of music I like best.
Tazwert	(reply to caviartaste) posted 24-Feb-2005 2:03pm Doll, YOU can be in my new Rat Pack....
Starfish	posted 24-Feb-2005 2:21pm Got to be jazz... I'd love to be like Nina Simone! Never gonna happen though. I'm one of those poor unfortunates who just sounds like a strangled cat !
Starfish	posted 24-Feb-2005 2:22pm Yeah, what IS CCM?
caviartaste	(reply to Tazwert) posted 24-Feb-2005 5:38pm ok
Amanda	(reply to justjulie) posted 24-Feb-2005 7:33pm
kcthedog	posted 25-Feb-2005 3:23am Van Morrison, Bob Dylan, Jackson Brown, Bryan Adams, but my fantasy would be Jim Morrison.
bcollins	posted 26-Feb-2005 1:30pm I wouldn't.
srflorida	posted 27-Feb-2005 11:19am Pop Star in a group. It would be fun and the others could drown me out somewhat.
Dino	posted 27-Feb-2005 3:36pm Rock/Pop with a backing band. An all girl mean ass-kicking band. Lots of guitars.
gambler	posted 3-Mar-2005 8:01pm Go with the music I like and say R&B
patarnone	posted 1-Apr-2005 9:00pm rock with a blues twist, like my friend Alice. Her music and songwriting is acknowledged nationwide. While in college, Bonnie Raitt heard her on the radio and fashioned herself after Alice. If Alice had not retired for 18 years to raise her kids, who knows how successful she'd be today. Her comeback started in 2000, she will be 63 this June. Grammy nominated cd, inducted into the Washington State Blues Society Hall of Fame, Best songwriter twice in a row, best guitarist 3 times in a row, twice voted Seattle's best blues band by the Seattle Weekly... need I say more. She is one awesome lady, not just musically, but personally, too. All her tunes reflect it. And, knowing her since 1962, plus living with and helping with stuff... she is easily the most dynamic person I know. Plus, I just LOVE her style of music.
mross	posted 20-Jan-2007 1:18am A very bad one. I'm the kind of singer that makes the American Idol judges roll their eyes & makes Simon Cowell cringe.
Melf	posted 2-Dec-2008 6:53am Alt. rock.
