I love singing, even though I suck at it. But hey, I do it when I'm alone, so I don't really care 
My teachers always used to tell me that it's harder to sing softly than it is to sing loudly. And I have to say I think I agree. It takes a much greater amount of control to be able to sing softly. I've tried to work at it so that I can sing softly when needed. Ironically, my mom thinks that loud is all I should be doing, and constantly hounds me that I don't sing loud enough. I was classically trained, so I can belt out the notes when I need to, but I prefer to have some softer sounds in there.RaphaelsRedemption said:
I only sing if I'm horribly bored and by myself, it doesn't help that most of my music isn't exactly singing material since I can't understand most of it
Only when I'm alone, seeing how my singing voice can put people into a coma... xD
It's great fun though, as I usually ridicule myself while I'm singing.

Also this, but again, only when alone. Especially songs from the 80's and early 90's on the radio! I can sing my heart out to a lot of those! xDDwarfman said:
I can sing certain songs, such as Dreams by Van Halen, or Girls Girls Girls by Motley Crue. But this is only good enough to pass at a party where everyone is drunk, I doubt I could do it for money.
This is the part where I'd like to say: dudes, get out more! Everybody likes to sing, whether they like it or not.
I know that is a contradiction, but singing is one of the basic human actions. Every culture does it, even animals, to a discussable degree. I've got a couple of friends who are tonedeaf and even they try to sing, even if it's just one height of note they can produce.
To answer your question: singing is one of my main reasons to exist. I've been a singer in a band and I always (try to) steal the show at karaoke. For you all who think they cannot sing there are only two rules to get better at singing:
1- Don't be afraid to be emberassed. As long as you are enthousiastic and enjoy your song, everyone will like your singing (refer to those pop-idol programs or the karaoke-scene in 'my best friends wedding')
2- Try to reach the actual height of the note. No explanation needed, I think

The only compliment I've had to my singing is when I'm drunkenly singing- 'Creep' by Radiohead whilst we were playing the original Rock Band. That song, whilst not my favourite Radiohead song, always grabs me emotionally and I just started belting my heart out on the vocals. Got nearly 100% and everyone in the room was like "D: Whoa, Tom. It's just a game." I was like "Oh. "

I sing along to songs quite often when nobody's around... I'm not terribly confident about singing, so I'd rather not have people listen to me. Of course, this is something that I really, really need to work on, since I'm going to be singing in at least two concerts in the next few months.
I seem to do most of my music listening these days when I'm on public transport, so it's probably lucky that I'm not in the habit of singing along. I do sometimes when I'm at home, though only if it's The Smiths or Morrissey 'cos I can do a passable impression of his voice.
Ahhh...don't listen to the radio much but I like your music era choices. Usually play my own mixes. I've got a USB with over seven hundred songs. I mainly used it when I was working - My kitchen.My stereo ;-)> - I'd have it on random and unless it was a busy service I'd usually be singing to most of the tunes. People didn't mind, but the floorstaff would descreetly close the kitchen door if I was singing too loudly.Mistermixmaster said:Only when I'm alone, seeing how my singing voice can put people into a coma... xD
