Today, I came home and told my mom that I got the lead in the school musical, which I was very happy about. She pulled me into a hug then said, "But you know you can't really sing, right?" FML

Today, I told my mom that I want to try out for a singing competition on TV, so I might be able to kick off my musical career. She convinced me to sing a song for her, so I did. Mid-way through, she lost it, burst into laughter, and told me to stay in school. FML

Today, I was practicing for a choir concert that I have next week. My mom walked into my room and listened to me for a little while. After I finished the last song, she smiled, patted me on the head and said, "It's okay honey, I can't sing either." FML

Your song

Today, I auditioned for the musical at my school. Before I sang my song, I gave my music to the director. She said "Oh, I love this song!". After I sang it, she told me, "It's okay, I still like the song." FML

Today, it was the début of the high school musical I was in. When two others and I sang the word "Hell", my mother yelled at us for using that language, while the musical was still going, and dragged me off stage. FML

Today, I was sitting at my computer, listening and singing along to some music. I started singing louder, thinking that I was pretty good. Just then, my mom comes barging through the door in a frenzy saying, "Are you all right? Are you hurt?" FML

Today, at a rehearsal, a friend poked me: "My mother is in the orchestra, guess who she is!" I jokingly answer: "Erm…The fat singer?". It was. FML

Today, I auditioned for a part in a play. I've been practicing for months, and was very excited. After I'd finished singing, the director whispered something to the other judges, and they all laughed. Hard. So much for the lead role. FML

Today, I was at work at a preschool. I was sitting outside with the kids and was getting bored so I started singing. One of the little girls runs up and puts her hand over my mouth and tells me to stop. I'm in a select chorus at my highschool and plan to major in choral studies in college. FML

Today, I was at my class's band concert. Before the curtain was raised, I helped haul the piano to a different spot so a girl who would've had to stand behind it could be seen. I said, "There, now your mom can see you play!" She responded with, "My mom's blind." FML

She's just being a bitch. I used to do plays and musicals in high school, and trust me they wouldn't have picked you for the lead if you were terrible.

Just wait till everyone in the crowd is crying because you were such an amazing singer. Then on stage look at your mom and give her the finger. >:)

Do you go to William Hung High School? I guess the world is going to painfully learn what your mom already knows.

My question is, if you can't really sing....how the frick did you win the lead role in a *musical*...with *singing* in it? I mean really, there had to have been other people auditioning and clearly you were good enough to beat those people out, so how does your mom figure you aren't that good?

I'm thinking it's a giant Punk'd prank. They'll let this no-talent idiot rehearse and on opening night, halfway through the show, Ashton Kutcher will rush on stage and tell her how much she sucks. And everyone will laugh and laugh...

I dunno. I can maybe see it happening due to seniority, only because I've seen it before. At my old HS, one of my good friends got the lead in his senior year play. He was a good actor, but he can't sing. The director saw he worked hard through the years and wanted to reward him by giving him the lead. I got where she was coming from, but I felt bad because I saw jerks openly laughing at him while he was singing. Maybe it's a situation like that. Or maybe OP's mom is just clueless and OP has a great voice. Anyway OP, congrats on the lead. I hope it goes well for you.

So what if you can't sing! Obviously you sing better than the rest of them, and they chose you. It takes more than being able to sing to be a performer! If you got the lead then you have talent! Way to go OP! =)
