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.

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.

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.

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!!

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.

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!!!!

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*

"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.

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!

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!

I could easily go 24 hours with singing - but not this week.

Speaking of singing, do you realize that the remaining HG don't even know who Kelly Clarkson is?!

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.

<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.

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.

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

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.

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...

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!!!

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.

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! :)
