Try not singing for 24 hrs
Gina8642 | Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 03:39 pm     I challenge anyone posting here to go 24 hours without: -Singing (even just a phrase, under your breath) -Humming (even non-musically) -Tapping fingers rhythmically -Whistling -Snapping fingers rhythmically -Other musical outpourings that would cause FOTH Try it, and report back on how successful you were. I have and it is really impossible. I know I couldn't go three months. Since this season of BB started I’ve been much more aware of how much I do this. I am not even remotely a musical person and yet I find myself many, many times a day doing one of these things. |
Laffy | Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 03:59 pm     gina, it is just singing OUT LOUD that causes foth. i believe they are free to tap and snap fingers at will. i think most posters could easily go 3 months without having the need to sing OUT LOUD on a whim. i know i can. |
Stingerman | Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 04:02 pm     I never sing so I could last a year easy!!!! |
Wargod | Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 04:03 pm     Like Stinger, I would have no problem with it. I have zero musical talent, couldn't find a note if it hit me over the head, and have absolutly no rythym, LOL. |
Gina8642 | Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 04:06 pm     Stingerman - I didn't think I did either. LOL Laffy - they seem to get in trouble any time what they do it recognizable, whether vocal or not. What is 'outloud' to a microphone is very different than what most people think outloud is. Those mic.s pick up a lot!! |
Justshirley | Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 04:06 pm     Well, I was whistling "La Bamba" when I saw this thread. I could never do it. No way. You would all hate me if I were in there. I would cause your ears to bleed with all of the FOTHs. |
Stingerman | Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 04:20 pm     I use to love music when I was a teen and I can even play the guitar, drums and bass, but I just don't have a singing voice. These days I haven't found any music that really just blows me away like Led Leplin, Pink Floyd, etc. that I use to listen too. Gee only 39 and I'm already done!!!! |
Kellee | Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 04:38 pm     I couldnt do that...singing...no matter how terribly I do it...is part of my job...it is REQUIRED as a preschool teacher.... I will sing the most strange song at the weirdest of moments...so I totally understand them singing...but if BB would prvide them with a list for songs written before 1923 this wouldnt be a problem now would it...*LOL* |
Abby7 | Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 04:57 pm     "snapping fingers rhythmically" (?). when was the last time you did that? hmmm.... i think of frank sinatra and sammy davis, jr. too bad we can't ask them. |
Costacat | Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 05:31 pm     I couldn't do it at all. Guaranteed. And interestingly, they've been talking about a Madonna song and trying snippets trying to remember words, and whoops! I was gonna say they didn't go to FOTH and dammit! They just did! |
Creampuff | Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 05:41 pm     Rules are rules. It doesn't seem like it should be a huge problem. I am used to playing CD's and music ( play several instruments) often and if there was a valid reason not to do so I could. A little self discipline never hurt anybody! |
Ericka1012 | Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 07:01 pm     Remember, these people are not only playing a game but they are hired like as a job...You tell me what boss doesn't expect you to follow rules...last i heard if you didn't follow the work rules you got to leave and not come back... SING DANI SING!!!! |
Screeminmeemie | Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 07:36 pm     I could easily go 24 hours with singing - but not this week. |
Pamy | Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 07:47 pm     Speaking of singing, do you realize that the remaining HG don't even know who Kelly Clarkson is?! |
Calgaryperson | Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 08:08 pm     I do not like any form of modern music(Rap, Pop, Rock, Jazz, Techno, Heavy Metal, Alternative) or Oldies(Except "A Little Less Conversation" by Elvis, that one I do not mind) so this is a cinch. |
Uhoh | Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 08:26 pm     <doing a quick web search on Kelly Clarkson> ack! i wasn't in the house, but didn't watch american idol so didn't know who she was either. there are a lot of us! |
Pamy | Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 08:33 pm     but when ya did the search I bet more than 1 site came up! Millions watched that show, it beat BB a lot of times. ps Uhoh..I love that name!

Jimmer | Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 08:37 pm     I think that the houseguests sing on purpose a lot of times. They know what they're doing and they don't even try to control it. |
Secretsmile | Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 08:40 pm     My children taught me not to sing as soon as they could talk! LOL! They got musical talent from my husband and I am the only Momma I know that wasn't allowed to do "itsy bitsy spider" ROFLMAO |
Marymc | Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 10:19 pm     i sing all the time...star spangled banner, lately....america the beautiful...am even picking up some italian operas on the josh groban CD that i can't get enough of.....i sing my mood. sing to my dog (he appreciates my "talent") country, pop....anything but rap.....i wouldn't last an hour. |
Foodbunny | Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 11:50 pm     I routinely go for more than 24 hours without humming, singing, and whatnot. Music isn't terribly important to me, it's mostly background noise as opposed to focus. |
Yellek | Wednesday, September 11, 2002 - 09:31 am     I used to love singing along with any song (whether I knew the words or not). This drove my boyfriend (now ex-bf) crazy. 5 years of being told you sound awful makes you stop trying. (I wasn't awful BTW, I used to sing in a choir in school) Now, my husband, who loves to sing along to music, constantly asks me to join him. But I'm so programmed not to that I can't! Grr... the things we let people do to us... So I could go 3 months without singing easy... |
Djgirl5235 | Wednesday, September 11, 2002 - 09:55 am     There is absolutely NO WAY that I could go even an hour without singing unless I slept the entire time!!! I sing all day, every day. I was singing songs before I could even talk... I'm a singer, and proud of it, and would definitely have killed your ears with FOTH by now!!! |
Ellenkats | Wednesday, September 11, 2002 - 09:59 am     I don't think I could go an hour without singing either. Singing is a sign of contentment, I sing without even realizing it. Ok, maybe not in public places (hehe) but around the house, relaxing, doing housework, gardening, etc.. My only gripe with HG singing is if I think it's deliberate to get FOTH -- but I think most of their singing is done without ulterior motives. It's a sign they're relaxed where they are. |
Silklily | Wednesday, September 11, 2002 - 07:57 pm     It is interesting to me. I do not think I could do it for 3 months straight but I could go longer than these people. And I am a singer. But, interestingly, I do not often sing to myself. I sing as a performer and I sing to my daughter. But, then again, I have music around me whenever I want it. Come to think of it...if I had no access to music, I would sing all day long. But I would get 50% of the words wrong, so I would not violate any copyright laws! |
