Most of us here could've won an easy $50,000 IF we were contestants on last night's show, "The Singing Bee." They featured music by Lennon and McCartney. :P My hubby made the ridiculous remark to me, "ok let's see how good you really are!" :huh: :whistle: I said, "puh-lease!" :rolleyes: It was so stinkin' easy with songs like, "Yesterday," Ticket to Ride," Hello Goodbye," etc. Come on...where's "I am the Walrus" or something a tad harder...lol!!! I couldn't help but think of you all here, thinking we ALL could've won easy money!

Anyway, hope you're all having a good day! :giggle:

Ours was also a school organised choir. But, it was for Canada's 100th birthday, so we actually were recorded for an album. I was 10 at the time, & look like a total geek with my mouth wide open singing on the cover jacket. Apparently, I'm a soprano, but I'd rather not, really.

It was an interesting experience. Our choirmaster had to remove his shoes, as he liked to tap his foot in time, & it kept showing up on the recording. I think we recorded the whole thing in like, 3 days. Kind of like an extended field trip, really. The only hard part was singing the same song over & over again. That got a little rough. Plus, it was really warm in the studio, & we had to take quite a few breaks for water. Fun, though.

For those of you who may not have seen this show, you don't have to be a singer rather you have to know the lyrics perfectly!

There aren't many times in this life where our Beatles expertise is called into action... and given the opportunity to win $50k I think that most people on this site could have easily walked away with a sizeable chunk of money.

I guess we were all in the wrong place at the wrong time. ^_^

Dignity? What's that?

When it comes to my Beatles fandom, I don't believe that I have any. ^_^

For $50K, my dignity walks.
I don't believe in Bondi. I don't believe in rugby league. I believe in Yoko, John Lennon, the Lost Weekend and me.

it made shambles of their music by the awful singing by both contestants and back-up singers.

My mom called me last night when it came on to tell me what they were doing. I watched it and had fun with my family all trying to sing the lyrics. Yeah, I agree, that contestants butchered the songs, but it was still loads of fun.

Heidi - I happened to catch the show the other night and thought the same thing - how lucky it would have been for one of us to be there! I remember when Jeopardy had a Beatles category and of course, I swept the board - felt so intelligent for a minute anyway!

I typically don't watch this show because it's frankly dumb...but I did enjoy the "challenge" (which didn't turn out to be a challenge at all...lol). Most of the contestants on this show can't sing to save their lives anyway! :giggle:

The ironic thing about "Singing Bee", is you have to audition just to be in the audience, then get selected to participate :rolleyes:
And it really doesn't matter if I'm wrong, I'm right.......Where I belong I'm right..........Where I belong.
