What advice do you have for being with someone who thinks they're a great singer, but really isn't?

Should you tell them, or is it best to keep your mouth shut?

Ooh, that's a tough one, dude. Someone who thinks they're an amazing singer when they're... not so great? That's a tricky situation for sure.

I mean, on the one hand, you don't wanna crush their dreams or hurt their feelings, you know? Like, if they're really passionate about it, that's cool. But if they're delusional about their actual talent, that could be kinda awkward.

I guess the safest approach would be to kinda steer them in the right direction without being too blunt about it. Maybe you could suggest they get some professional feedback or lessons, and see how they react. That way, they can get an honest assessment without you having to be the one to break it to them.

But if they're just straight-up delusional and won't take any constructive criticism, then you might have to bite the bullet and have an honest conversation. Just be super gentle about it, frame it as you wanting to help them improve, not put them down. And make sure they know you still support their passion, even if their actual skills need some work.

At the end of the day, you gotta find that balance between being a supportive partner and also being realistic. It's a tricky tightrope to walk, but with the right approach, you can hopefully help them see the truth without demolishing their self-esteem. Good luck, man!

Be happy for them and support them , even if they aren’t that good. Music is a way most people express themselves , so it’s best not to rain on their parade

It didn't stop 99% of rap and current day pop fodder from having careers.
