It seems that especially more famous and good people think they are suddenly wary of if you should post singing videos online.  I didn't do it at 1st partly because I thought you weren't supposed to.  I didn't want to post myself singing Christmas videos.  I guess I was waiting to set up and learn more opera.  I just posted online and didn't really sing.  Finally, my life was so bad I just had to start.  I mean, look around, "The X Factor" or that other game show or maybe that was it.  I mean, it's all about signing on YouTube and posting yourself singing.  There's no banner in the sky.  I heard that you just post and - well I feel as though I "heard" this, at least - wait and see they'll just take it down if you're not allowed and then you'll know.  Otherwise, it's your responsibility to take the opportunity.  It only makes sense because, well you have to sing if you want because it's like breathing if that's what you want and it's what's going around apparently... because you're allowed to record yourself.  I used to wonder and ended up thinking it was funny not to record myself, never thought about actually doing it enough when I sang, which wasn't hours a day.  Everyone sings.  I guess I liked stuff like musicals and old hits, like "Total Eclipse of the Heart" and learned to like others, as well, which were familiar, probably heard it when I was 1 or 2 or so.  I know I used to hear these songs, and then they stopped and I heard them and they were familiar.  It was like I heard them a lot.  It was very surreal, maybe I can describe it sometime.  So, anyway, you have to record yourself because when you sing for a performance you don't get the rights.  They'd just say, "Turn around."  So, the question is can you give other people recordings of you singing karaoke?  Well, yes.  You probably just can't sell it unless you got permission.  So, you could contact like the company and get permission if it were necessary.  I mean, no one should kill you if you don't do that.  I used to give my friends tapes of compilations of my favorite songs but wouldn't give out whole CDs.  My aunt let me borrow stuff.  So, I did it on a tape.  I did it to 2 friends maybe twice to 1.  So, that was supposedly illegal, to compile your favorite songs on a tape.  To me VHS was just when I was a kid.  I guess DVDs came out when we moved to the New Orleans area.  It wasn't even a big deal because you can't go to a certain space in the DVD.  So, see if you can figure out why you shouldn't post yourself singing.  I mean, it's important.  I see you don't really want me to sing.  However, it's like our responsibility.  I can't really stand it.  I really have nothing else to do.  I don't need to ask a company to sell it on iTunes, but I mean I guess I could.  How will I practice?  Who will listen to me?  What's illegal about a get together online?  I don't know if I'm allowed to perform it live, but I probably am.  I'm guessing like there are karaoke events.
