I actually did not hate this

pinkcow13 · June 2014

This showed up on my newsfeed. I must say, as much as I hate performances at weddings ("Drunk in Love" dancing bridesmaids, anyone?), I actually did not hate this one. I also love most of the songs that the couple sang/rapped so maybe I'm biased, but I thought they were really cute together, and they were pretty awesome. As a guest at that wedding, I would have been up and singing and dancing.

Of course, I still think it is very AW-ish, and they totally want the youtube fame that everyone so desperately seeks. Personally, I would never do this at my wedding (although FI's aunt suggested I sing "From this Moment" to FI as I walk down the aisle. One of my cats runs away in horror when I sing. That will not be happening), but I totally admit that I wouldn't hate this if I were a guest.

What do you guys think?

Nobody but Method Man should be repeating those lyrics.

Few things give me secondhand embarrassment more than a non-rapper singing a rap song. I know all of the words to MANY Busta Rhymes songs, and can very often get each verse out perfectly... when I'm in the car by myself. That sure the hell doesn't mean it sounds good, because I have a high-pitched harpy voice and definitely don't sound like Busta Bust or any member of the Flip Mode Squad. There's a time and a place for that shit, and it's in the shower or your vehicle when you're by yourself lol

Sorry. I still hate it.

I can tell it's authentic to their personalities at least, so it's better than others I've seen.

However, their venue is CRAZY GORGEOUS. Where is that???

FH and I do Karaoke. He has an AMAZING voice and gets standing ovations every time he sings. I do NOT have an amazing voice, and I get the shakes on stage, so I do 90s rap, like I Wish I Was A Balla - I get a dance crowd every time - I can rock my 90s shit

Anyway, as big as we are into this, NEITHER of us will be singing at our wedding. Because it does come off at AW-ish to me. But that's me. As long as I can still access the bar during stuff like this, I don't mind them

It doesn't bother me when people do stuff like that during the reception. Maybe it is AWish but really as long as everyone is having fun who cares? It is just like karaoke, which is awesome (says someone who goes drunk karaoking with friends on a regular basis).

I don't really mind the COUPLE being AWish at their own wedding. I mind them dragging the WP into their attempts at fame. So this I only grimace at because they're not very good, but I don't hate the idea. I'd love it more if I saw it as a guest and it never wound up on the internet.

JCbride2015 - I know, that venue is amazing right?? It's in LA, but I don't know what venue exactly it is, although I am trying to google it to find out! I think it also fit well for their performance, and lke you said I think it seems that this is really their personalities and they are not forcing anything, so I think that's part of what I like.

ladyamanuet - I wish I was a balla was my jam!!! I remember I used to watch that video all that time on The Box. Does anyone remember that channel?? Where you used to have to call in and pay for them to play your favorite videos?

beethery - yea I only unleash my inner rapper or singer in the shower, in the living room, or at karaoke. Definitely not at my wedding! If someone does it at theirs, as long as they're decent and there's a bar, I think I could enjoy it lol.

I cringe at all things like this. Definitely not something that I would enjoy sitting through...

I seriously can not deal with stuff like that like an adult. I turn into a cringing child and have a hard time not making horrified faces.

In person I think I would have found it amusing, on the internet I couldn't make it past 1:10 since the groom was tone deaf and screaming into the mic.

sarawifenow · June 2014

@beethery--glad I am not the only one!

Senecaf · June 2014

I don't mind this sort of thing in person. If it matches the personalities of the couple and doesn't embarrass the guests why not. But I didnt enjoy watching it. If he could get me to agree, I'm sure FI would love to do some silly performance. He will never get me to agree.

pinkcow13 · June 2014

Haha, maybe I'm just in a good mood today. I actually watched the whole thing and was even dancing a bit in my chair. Something like this is definitely a lot better than forcing the bridal party to join in. I feel like this was so natural to the couple, so it was fine, compared to other performances.

I definitely would not have the guts or energy to do something like this, though!

To to bolded - me too. Like, change the channel uncomfortable.

I am a singer and there is way in fucking hell I would ever consider singing at my own wedding.

Ever.

In a million years.

It's weird and as a guest I'd cringe hard.
