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.
My hubby made the ridiculous remark to me, "ok let's see how good you really are!"
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! Heidi

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.

Or perhaps just a little too protective of our dignity.

Dignity? What's that? When it comes to my Beatles fandom, I don't believe that I have any.

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. |

I imagine that I've done worse things, especially under the influence of wobbly-pops.

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!

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. | |
