Oh yeah.... regarding the lyrics and how do you remember them. Learn the song like the back of your hand. If that doesn't help.... you can always write them out and use a music stand. I used to write the first few words of each verse... that's all I needed to prompt my mind to remember the rest of the verse.

It also helps to work on a skill called "Faking it" . If you forget the words, don't stand there looking dumb.... make up some s**t right there on the spot. Maybe you will crash and burn and maybe you will soar.... I had one of the band members girl friends comment to me one night....her: " you totally forgot the second verse in that song didn't you?" Me: "yep" her: "if I wasn't paying attention I would have never known it because you faked the hell out of it." probably one of the best compliments I ever got about my singing.
