The guy who mixed my CD had a girl come in and record a CD. He rounded up players and they came up with tracks for 10 cover songs she wanted to do. I was there doing BGV for my CD when she came to pick up her CDs. They came to his house because he ordered them on his CD Baby account. She excitedly opened one and he popped it into the CD drive on his computer. She got just into the 1st chorus of the first song, and the look on her face matched the urgency in her voice as she screamed "Oh my god. I SUCK!!!" She picked up her CDs, ran out his door, and on the way to her car threw them into his garbage can.

We had to stop recording for the night because we couldn't stop laughing. And the guy told me "She was SO serious while we were recording. We did vocal take after vocal take. She left me with at least 4 tracks of each vocal line and that was the best I could splice together." He also said that he tried auto tune it but "Auto tune isn't auto timbre."

I remember a girl at a karaoke night long ago who was just awful. When she finished her 2nd song I casually asked if she had been singing long. Her reply was "No. I have only done this a few times because a lot of my friends tell me I'm a good singer." I smiled, gave her a little pat on the right arm and and a little wink as I said "Yeah? Well, you probably want to hang onto those friends." And walked out.
