Not only do I sing to him, I sing entire conversations. You become Jerry Lewis.
I don't like to sing things that just sound like they're going straight down the tubes, and they're circling the drain, and there's no hope. It doesn't feel good in any way to sing.
I didn't want to do anything my mother wanted me to do so surely I wasn't going to sing for her.
I just sing the songs that people don't expect you to sing, because I just love having fun at karaoke and I'm always a bit nervous to sing something serious.
The point is that I am such a big fan of Puccini and that Butterfly is the most difficult and complete role that you can imagine. Just to sing it with a good voice is not enough: it asks tears from your soul. I am very emotional on stage, and the music is so tender that I suffer for real when I am singing it. So I cannot do many performances.
My energy to sing, I get it from my singing. Singing was not a reason to make a living. This is the only thing I wanted to do.
I love to sing and I do think that my strength as a singer is... I think I have a voice that is certainly sufficient under most any circumstances... but I think my strength is that I really am an actor and I really do have to own what I am saying.
You got to have smelt a lot of mule manure before you can sing like a hillbilly.
In their heyday, the Pet Shop Boys were the Interpol of the Eighties, dressing up to sing really weird pop songs about lust and loneliness in the big city. They're low-pro now, not retro-worshipped in the manner of Depeche Mode, New Order, or The Cure, but you can hear the reason why - these guys are too sad.
When I started to sing, my mother would have me engaged to perform at the Women's Christian Temperance Union national or annual meetings. I would hate doing this because I wanted to play baseball or go off skiing.
Sometimes I'll sing the same verse through the entire song, because the other verses aren't clicking. And when they do come to me, I'm in the middle of that same verse!
A lot of the way I sing is playing off other musicians. It's what I love to do the most.
How many women does one need to sing the scale of love all the way up and down?
I grew up watching old black and white movies where Marlene Dietrich or Jean Harlow would go walking down some cobblestone street in ripped stockings and head into some smoky boite and sing for a pathetic living. That's so what I wanted to be.
My favorite type of music to sing is a crossover between country and pop.
I got to go back and perform 'God Made Girls' on 'The Voice,' which was awesome. I also got invited to sing on the 'Grand Ole Opry,' which was another unbelievable moment.
So much of my career has been about saying things the way people say them, using melodies not that I can sing but that the people can sing.
Nothing is so beautiful as spring - when weeds, in wheels, shoot long and lovely and lush; Thrush's eggs look little low heavens, and thrush through the echoing timber does so rinse and wring the ear, it strikes like lightning to hear him sing.
I started taking singing classes just two years ago. It was great. I never knew I could sing but I kind of found my voice.
I want to sing because I want to sing.
It is not possible to eat me without insisting that I sing praises of my devourer?
Tell the truth. Sing with passion. Work with laughter. Love with heart. 'Cause that's all that matters in the end.
It is all one to me if a man comes from Sing Sing Prison or Harvard. We hire a man, not his history.
I want to be able to sing like Whitney Houston did.
Lou Reed is something like a personal favorite of mine, but you could always put me into that drawer of singers who can't really sing, who speak their songs.
I'm a trumpet player, and I sing jazz.
For some reason I've been labeled that and it's fine, but there are a lot of other artists that sing real traditional stuff, so I don't know why they picked me. That's what I've always done.
I sing like a lark.
I kind of realized I could sing, so I played around with that for a while. And that led me to acting in itself, which I came more passionate about by the age of 15.
Who am I that I have to sing under an umbrella? These people are my fans, and if they can stand in the rain to hear me sing, I can stand in the rain.
Just like any songwriter, I love it when people sing my songs.
I can sit and analyze everything and beat myself up and say you don't quite sing as good as you used to, you're writing better songs maybe than you used to, but to me it's just the journey.
It took me a long time to stumble upon a sound, and I figured out I wanted to kinda sing rapper's lyrics.
I like to sing because my mother was a singer. She sang to me all the time, so I learned to love singing. I did have a career as little 10-year-old George Benson. I made my first record as a vocalist, but I've been playing guitar since I was 9.
John legend is a nickname that somebody started calling me a while ago and part of it is 'cos I sound like an old man when I sing.
I want to write, I want to sing. I want to do the same thing for others, have my music, hopefully do that for others one day, not realizing what I sort of had to climb. I had an idea a little bit, but I think that I underestimated the whole thing.
