Do you sing along with singers of the opposite gender?

I wish to add that I’m a dude.

Why wouldn’t I? This OP puzzles me.

Despite being a 21-year-old male, I’m locally famous for my rendition (to pitch) of Eternal Flame. So count me as a “yes”.

Heavens, yes! From the Andrews Sisters to Shirley Manson, I sing with all of the ladies. don’t tell anybody :wink:

Being totally inept at keeping in key even in my natural range (whatever it is) anyway, I have absolute disregard for the gender of the singer if I feel like singing along to the stereo while driving in my car or while in the shower, since no matter what it will sound like a jackass with an upper respiratory infection :D.

Im female and I sing along with both males and females… half the time I dont even notice Im singing so the sex of the singer doesnt even come in to it!

Are you THE Andrew Bird? The musician?

Nevermind, saw the thread that said you were just a fan.

Yes, and badly. I probably couldn’t carry a tune in a bucket, however as some others however get me in the shower or out on a run with my MP3 player and I’ll sing along as the mood strikes.

I’m a guy with a middle of the road voice if that’s any help (I’ve actually been told that my voice would be great for a radio annnouncer).

I like singing along with women who record songs originally performed by men…Joan Jett covering “Do You Wanna Touch” or The Donnas belting out “Living After Midnight” is fun.

I try. I find myself going up an octave a lot.

Yes, I’m off key in any gender… musical or otherwise. So if I’m going to mangle the song anyway it doesn’t matter who else is singing it :smiley:

After all, some of my favorite singers often have songs who are written from the perspective of the other side. For example, in Mecano the singer was a woman, but the songwriters were two guys and most songs are definitely guy-centered.

I’m a soprano and singing along with Billy Joel drives me crazy, though I love to try! Most of his songs are mostly ok for me, but one of my favorites is “You’re My Home” and nearly all of it is just too damn low – and doesn’t sound right up an octave or with harmony. :frowning:

Currently, I do a mean “Sugar, We’re Goin’ Down.” :smiley:

Just do what I do: Don’t worry about the notes, just bellow.

I sing along with singers of both genders, as long as their vocals are either within my comfortable range, or I can bump up the vocals an octave or two (or within a harmony of an octave or two) and not have too many issues. :smiley: Yay for being a mezzo soprano with a reasonably wide vocal range.

Of course I do! I’ll sing along with basically anybody or anything. I just like to sing.

Unlike what some other posters have claimed, I’m reasonably sure I don’t deafen anybody. I haven’t had a range test since I was in junior high, and I’m quite out of practice now, but when I was regularly in choir I could aaaaaaaalmost hit the low notes of the Phantom’s part, and the high notes of Christine’s, in “Music of the Night”.

I get rave reviews at drunken karaoke, but I have been mocked in the past for singing the male part of “Come What May” from Moulin Rouge. My most comfortable range is fairly low for a girl, and his part is far, far easier than hers.

Yes, I do. Though I believe I freaked out a friend of mine many years ago when I invited him over to play cards one evening, and the other 2 guys dropped out at the last minute so that it ended up being just the two of us playing two-handed games like Gin Rummy and Magic: the Gathering. One of the discs in my five CD changer (this was Before the MP3 Era with the iTunes Shuffle) came up as Bette Midler’s The Divine Miss M, which I proceeded to sing along with at various points.

Not that there’s anything wrong with it, but I really, truly had no idea Ms. Midler was associated with, well, The Other League of Gentlemen. Cross my heart. Just never crossed my mind.

Hell yeah. I sing along with anything and everything. If I didn’t like the song, I wouldn’t be playing it, and if I like listening to it, chances are that I want to sing it too. If I can’t hit some of the top notes I’ll usually just shift it an octave.

Yes. Men, women, children, electronics. I murder them all.

Sends my dog right under the bed and I’m a girl.

Yep, I’ll sing it, although most of the music I listen to has male leads, so it come up much. I can hit most alto and tenor notes (at least, I can hit them as well as I can hit anything) but I’ll shift anything else an octave or two up or down.

Sorry, that should say “doesn’t come up much”.

The hilarious thing is that the person who I most resemble vocally would be christian artist Michael W Smith, I can belt out a lovely rendition of “Place in this world” that could bring tears of joy to the eyes of Fred Phelps.

Just don’t tell Fred I’m an athiest who supports gay marriage :smiley:

Totters away humming to the tune of “I’m your baby tonight”…
