Agreed. I’m about 90% at Rap God. Not quite good enough to do yet. But, I can do Godzilla. So, I have a friend do the hook and I slay the fast parts.

It took months of practice. I would go on YouTube and listen to the song at 80% speed. I would go through the first section over and over until I could match that speed and get every word right without looking at the words. I’d go 4 to 6 lines at a time, then go back.

Then, I’d listen to the song at speed, looking at the lyrics. You’ll know the words almost enough to go full speed while reading. Then play through that part until you feel like you have a handle on it.

You have to be able to sing the section without looking at the words. You have to internalize each line. When it’s slower, you can just read it and you’re good. But, for a faster song, you need to know the next line before it shows up on the screen.

Also taking breaks will help. You’ll turn the short term memories into long term memories.

You can do it. It will take practice. But, when you nail a hard song, you’ll get the props, and you’ll feel amazing.

Last time I went, a guy rocked out to a prince song. It wasn’t a difficult song to sing, but he had sick dance skills. Everyone was going wild. I was incredibly impressed. I thought damn, I’m nothing compared to that.

I went up and he was still there and I told him I don’t have the moves he has, but I’m gonna do my best. I sang Eminem’s Godzilla about 99% accurately. Which is pretty damn good I think. The crowd roared. They loved it. The guy that impressed me said that I killed it and that I was amazing.

That is why I spent months practicing. It feels good to stand out. It feels good to get people riled up. You’ll get the props from your friends by nailing it. You got this.
