Flashback: "Ken Lee" on Bulgarian Idol

TresSugar — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 06:00:00 PDT

Today's International Translation Day, so I figured what better way to celebrate it than to show someone mistranslating a song by simply sounding out the words, the hell with rhyme or reason! This Bulgarian Idol wants to sing Mariah Carey's cover of "I Can't Live (If Living Is Without You)," the actual lyrics be damned. Two points for chutzpah.

Minutes to a Healthier You: Sing Your Heart Out

FitSugar — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 14:30:00 PDT

Sometimes, we don't give enough credit to the little pleasures that can lower our stress levels and improve our quality of life. But if you like to sing, sing out. It's good for your overall health.

Throughout history and cultures, singing has been used as a way to express emotion and help people heal, and the same principles can be applied to our daily lives. Singing can help you relax, boost your mood, and open up your breathing passages. Other studies have linked singing to lowered blood pressure, while other research has shown that it can help people manage chronic pain.

So don't be afraid to sing in the shower, or wail along with your favorite song on the radio. At the very least, it will probably put you in a happier state of mind.

Lil Tip: Sing Your Children to Sleep

LilSugar — Sun, 24 Aug 2008 10:00:00 PDT

When it comes to my singing, I've got a couple of fans. My son and daughter don't mind that my vocals are off tune, in fact, my tunes help them sleep. If your tot has trouble transitioning from bathtub to bedtime, try breaking out in song. Turn this into a fun activity by having them help you with the lyrics. Once you perfect the tune specific to the child, sing or hum it to soothe them.

Eat Your Heart Out, Andrew Lloyd Webber!

You know the scene in My Best Friend's Wedding when the dude pretending to be with Julia Roberts breaks into song while smack in the middle of a speech, and as Hollywood would have it, the whole table joins in? The peeps below made the scene a little less Hollywood and a little more Broadway. They had a fantastic performance, but I wanna know how everyone in attendance at this wedding (even the father of the groom!) had a voice fit for singing. Uh, Twilight Zone much? (Thanks, College Humor!)

TV Host Is All Over Singer

Not by choice. I have no clue why this chick puts her head on this crooner's chest in the first place, but she does, and when she goes to step away - there's just no escape. While she's trying to subtly yank the hair out of his pendant, or out of her head (whichever comes first), he's thinking that he's a bona fide stud. Talk about a sticky situation . . .

Singing Sushi Shows Off Some Raw Talent

GiggleSugar — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 08:00:00 PDT

Do kiddies have to be coaxed into eating sushi in Japan? I wouldn't think so, but if the aim of this live-action, singing sushi show is to persuade peeps to push their palates in the raw direction, then this is a gamble. I personally don't want to see the contents of my meal get up and into a chorus line, but the personification of uncooked food is a widespread marketing trend nowadays. (Thanks, eBaum's World!)

Monday Morning Pick-Me-Ugh!

Having a lousy morning? Join the club. But I've found a remedy for those of us with a case of the Mondays. Play the following song, smile, and repeat. Play the following song, smile, and . . . duck!

"Batman" Is Having a Midlife Maturity Crisis

GiggleSugar — Sun, 01 Jun 2008 03:00:00 PDT

It's painfully obvious that Batman's wife left him cuz he's an emotionally underdeveloped tool with the hobbies and interests of a small child. If this tone-deaf rendition of "Patience" by Guns 'n' Roses was intended to bring this manchild's lost love back, then our downtrodden hero needs to hop in his batmobile and ride off into the Gotham City sunset - cuz it's so over.
