Rock concerts, obviously. Lately, Muse and U2. Both very loud, and both in second line of GA...

Anyway, l know what you mean now. It just doesn't happen to me then

Now I wonder how you can know you stayed in key?

Because there are videos that prove it

I just wonder how the videos can prove it if you as you say, couldn't hear a thing of yourself (maybe that was an overstatement? or maybe 100% on key was that)

Or maybe the reason i went off key a few times was straining like crazy to try to sing like bono with a hangover, a technique I'm not trained in, which in turn makes it harder to stay on key when not hearing yourself.

Well, l get lost into the music very easily and... I'll tell you: l have a natural ability to sing in tune - l was diagnosed with relative ear (wikipedia it if you wish) six years ago, together with gifted intelligence or whatever it's called)... I was being serious when l told you l sing in tune without effort, but l was also being serious and honest when I asked if you had the problem. I'm sure it's just a minimal out-of-tune thing, though

Oh, and yes: the Popmart voice is not easy to mirror

I have "some" relative pitch hearing... I'm not completely tone deaf

I guess your voice is just trained better than mine... I've been afraid of singing until a year ago when I started singing. So my voice isn't that trained. Singing in tune is something one builds up a muscle memory thing for.

I prefer heaing myself and getting that kind of respons to how I'm doing

Congratulations on the abilities you have that I'm trying to develop

Relative ear? I've never heard that phrase, and I searched it too. Is that like perfect pitch? You hear a note and you know what it is or someone says "Sing F#" and you can do it?

I did a quick search and it says learning to sing by ear. So if you do indeed hear someone say sing F#, you can sing in F#.

Off to see a new movie this afternoon - Snowtown.

I said "relative ear" because we say "oido relativo" and oido means ear (tocar de oido = to play by ear) I didn't know the proper term in English. That's it. Perfect pitch. I have had no musical training ever (besides the obvious Music subject we had at school, playing flute and that stuff), but the medics who made me the intelligence tests, also made some artistic tests and realized I was able to define intervals and chords even without knowing in which tonal root they were. It's not very common, but it isn't very hard to practice it eiher, as far as I know,
