You know, I’ve actually witnessed church singing this bad. My old church had one woman who was arguably the single worst singer you’ve ever heard, and worse, she would routinely stand up front and perform a “special song” for us. Sometimes she made it all the way through. Sometimes not, and upon making a mistake she would break down in tears, yet stand up front and finish the song alternating between screeching and sobbing. The entire congregation sat cringing and wishing she’d sit down.
I was never sure why people did that sort of thing. I wonder if she had convinced herself that singing was her ministry or calling, and she would persevere no matter what.
I’ve witnessed singing much WORSE than that in church, actually. Especially the congregational singing every sunday morning. Dead, emotionless, passionless, toneless and out of tune. Pathetic attempts to harmonize. I’ll put up with almost anything if people are enjoying themselves – but attempts to sing without passion is unforgivable.
OH MY GOD!!! Was anyone able to finish that? What the bloody hell man?! That’s just not cool. That video should have been destroyed. Did Hitler himself come back from the dead to make sure mankind was suffered with such pain and agony?
Oh, and don’t forget to praise gOd with money while you’re their watching horrible singers sing because it’s by grace of gOd himself that you were privileged with such an agonizing torture and he needs money so he can pay his angels…
I actually feel sorry for the guy. He probably wasn’t too enthusiastic about being up there in the first place, but ‘took one for the team’ despite knowing that he was going to be humiliated… and now he’s on youtube.
for the record, I got about five seconds in to John’s ‘singing’ before I had to turn it off.
I was waiting for Martin Mull to show up.
My ears… they bleed…

if they enjoyed themselves it would be evil…and would invite the devil in….
awwwww…
do we know Andy Kaufman didn’t write this for John?
…..can’t……stop…….laughing…………
Somewhere in there I hear a smidge of “Chocolate Rain” …….
how has anyone escaped seeing the immortal John Daker? he must one of the most unintentionally famous people on the internet.
Lol – Roped in at the last minute methinks!
Susan Boyle, eat your heart out!
Where can I get the CD?
Well, I feel better now. I don’t sing that bad.
I have the world’s worst singing voice.
But I can do a passable Chuck D impersonation when I rap.
I have a pretty good singing voice, but I’d rather be able to impersonate Chuck D!
If my uzi wasn’t heavy I’d probably fire it
make you walk the plank if I was a pirate
if I was king I’d be a tyrant
omg public access television is the most convincing evidence for the existence of a god yet.

Someone once (rather unkindly I think) likened my singing to a donkey being castrated without anesthetic. I gladly cede my title.
