Zitat des Tages über Singen / Sing:
I connected very much with all the work of Joan Crawford because she started as a flapper. She used to dance and sing and she was very cute. She had something that was so different from what she is at the end of her life and she started in the silent movies and then went into the talkies.
I grew up in eastern Kentucky, and we would sing in the churches, and there's lots of good mountain church singers out there. Like a lot of folks who turn out to be secular music artists, that's a lot of the training you put in, whether you know it or not.
I sing and dance. That's my job.
I never thought I would sing or dance - ever, ever, ever. My idea was to be Laurence Olivier or Peter Lorre or some great classical actor. I thought I'd be a character actor.
I can't sing or dance.
If an offer comes my way, I would love to sing in every Indian language. It will be like an ode to my fans from every corner of the country.
As a person who wants to see and believe in the story, I don't think women at age 50 are able to sing young girls.
People often ask me how I developed my vocal sound, and the answer usually disappoints them: 'It's just the way I sound when I sing.'
I have learned to smile when I wasn't happy, to sing when I didn't feel like it, and to do things just to please my fans.
I hope that just what I sing about and how I relate to my audience is as much of a political statement as I need to make.
I didn't start singing until I was 16. I was afraid to sing in front of people.
I go in and sing the song and arrange it and mix it and that's it. It's no different than playing in clubs.
I've never taken drugs. My drug, I suppose, is drink. I never drink before I sing, but I do make up for it when I come off!
Since I started composing I have always worked with series of tempos, even superimposed the music of different groups of musicians, of singers, instrumentalists who play and sing in different tempos simultaneously and then meet every now and then in the same tempo.
To go on the road and listen to people sing a cappella - thousands of them - I couldn't do that.
I actually started singing in church when I was about five years old. I remember looking at the choirs and just hearing all of those great big beautiful voices. And there was this one woman who could just wail. And I remember trying to sing like her when I was like going home.
People said that way back in the early days I was probably one of the first rappers; the reason is that I couldn't sing, so I had to talk! Lou Reed was probably the one who started it all.
There's plenty of people who can sing OK that make terrific records, and I love them from afar. But when I make a record, I need great voices. That's always my mandate.
I like what it is to sing, or to be with the others singing, to make music, but the fuss and all the things that are the exterior part of a career, has never interested me.
It's so funny because I listen to songs that I recorded that I didn't really know anything about at the time. Later on I'm starting to feel the songs. Sing them first, feel them later.
I have a buddy of mine who's a musician, and I play guitar and sing quite a bit with him.
I couldn't sing to save myself. Greg went to John after the audition and said, 'She's cute, but she can't sing very well' and he said, 'I know. We'll teach her. I just want her on the show'.
I was in choir in school. I kind of just did it. I already knew I wanted to sing. My music program in my school wasn't really great - people didn't really want to be part of the choir, they didn't want to do the plays and stuff like that. It definitely wasn't the cool thing to do.
There are joys which long to be ours. God sends ten thousands truths, which come about us like birds seeking inlet; but we are shut up to them, and so they bring us nothing, but sit and sing awhile upon the roof, and then fly away.
I sing in the car if I'm in LA, because you're like soundproofed.
I wanna be able to stand on the stage and hold out the mic and people sing all the lyrics to my song.
I couldn't sing without a guitar. I like the way it feels to sing and be holding a guitar, even if I'm not playing it that much. All my idols that I grew up liking always had a guitar on them, but they didn't play it - Buddy Holly, John Lennon, Lou Reed, Elvis Costello. It's like having a partner with you.
When I sing, I close my eyes. If I see a feather, everything is fine. Without this image in my mind, the sound is not 'truthful' enough, and I must begin again. I have to.
I usually sing a lot on my mixtapes. I sing a lot on songs that just really aren't singles. Even my first single, 'My Last,' which I feel like is more pop than anything - I was originally singing the chorus on there. I'm used to that. I've always had fresh melodies.
Them pains, when blues pains grab you, you'll sing the blues right.
People live their lives through melodies. If you can't sing, then music is worthless.
Whatever else has been said about me personally is unimportant. When I sing, I believe. I'm honest.
Sing the songs of joy to the Lord, serve the Name of the Lord, and become the servant of His servants.
I always wanted a guitar. I always wanted to be a cowboy singer because I also listened to Hank Williams, and he would always sing these neat romantic songs.
It's through sheer will that I can sing.
I can sing 'Love Me Do,' very well.
