Backstory on how the following madness came to be: I used to ride around singing Jill Scott's "Slowly, Surely" and with the radio up loud, I thought I didn't sound so bad. I even contemplated doing a YouTube video of me singing it. Now, YouTube clips of people who can halfway sing approaching the work of someone who can REALLY sing are usually pretty painful. I cannot sing worth a damn, so this was probably the worst idea I have ever had. Well, right behind the time I decided to audtion for the 6th grade talent show singing "Where Is The Love" and not considering 1) that I couldn't sing back then either and 2) it's a duet and I was trying to sing both parts myself.
I mention to Sir Fabulous Himself how I had thought about doing the video, but had came to my senses and nixed the idea. Like any BAD friend, he eggs me on and says "No, I think you should, it will be good!". Just to get a laugh at my expense! So the idea of me doing the video became a running joke. Unfortunately, poor judgement, an iPod and a Flip Camera all came together for a drunken cabride this weekend and here is the result:
Make sure you stick it out to the end for a snippet of one of my other favorite songs!

10 props:
Priceless...hahaha
And your voice aint that bad. Add the autotune and you would have a record deal tomorrow...lol
Too much, lmao! Unforgettable moments:
1-Requesting the cabbie turn HIS music down so that you could make your own.
2-Your Jessica Simpson-ish arm movements.
3-The Rachelle Farrell workout you gave your jaw muscles, "...yooooou said, I said...it wasn't love..."
Awesome. Especially the cabbie being confused that you asked him to turn the music down. Also, I agree with Chanel. I've heard much worse on YT. LOL!
ROFL!! I quickly and surely skipped to the end! I'm just as bad a singer so I feel you!
Nothing wrong with having fun Sugah! Thank you for making me smile...
As long as You enjoyed yourself thats all that matters
HAHA! Loved it. You actually got a nice-sounding voice as a whole. It's just them pesky high notes that only those Jill Scotts of the world have.
And believe it or not, you've sold me on the song. I've been trying to dig around that album from my mama for "He Loves Me" to add to the iPod, but I needs to add Slowly Surely as well!
LOL drunken cab rides are the highlight of any evening, let alone rides with a musical interlude. Priceless!
Ms. Toldja,
LOL! I loved the part at the end, where you finish singing, and without a breath, pause or break, just kinda slur out “I got other songs”. I died on that!
I can’t comment on the quality, because when you sound as bad as me, I cannot fault others, lol!
I loved that! Especially how you stopped your slurred concert to make sure the cabbie was going the right way, and to find out how much you had to pay. Hilarious
