- Great aid to communication and breathing
- Helps reduce the feelings of depression
- Neurological improvement
- A good therapy for those who have had strokes resulting in speech impairment
- Improves confidence and discipline
- Strengthens the immune system
Lead singer and Everybody Sings creator JJ Midnight looks at it this way,
"I named this part of the program "Everybody Sings", because EVERYBODY SINGS, I'm talking to you, because you don't need to be a great musical genius or music theorist to reap the benefits from singing."
"Now we have a soft economy, and guess what ...the masses need to feel better...and singing is FREE!!!"
"We are really trying to get the folks who may be intimidated because they may feel they sound awful and get embarrassed when they sing. "It may sound awful, but in most cases, it gets better, and now because it is good for you, you should do it more, take it up as a hobby. We will show you where, how, when and why!" Even the worst karaoke singer loves to sing karaoke, and you know what, that person is getting health benefits from singing.
"I can sing, I've been blessed with this talent, but I gotta tell you, singing has saved me so many times in so many ways, so I figure this, If I'm gonna go out there in front of the people and entertain them with the gift of our Celebrating Queen, performance, then why not encourage folks by singing with them, showing and telling 'em all about how good it is for them."
"I figure a bunch of those folks will use the information we pass on and start singing again, like maybe they did in high school, 20 years ago, or at the church, or in the battle of the bands at the 1976 Apple Harvest Festival in Southington, Connecticut like I did!"
"Besides every one in the audience knows "Bohemian Rhapsody"... it's fun, it's inclusive, it's a musical bonding experience. We expect office co-workers, local choir members, karaoke queens, shower divas and family members at our show.
"Heck, we want the audience to sing along with us all night, how cool would that be?"
"Were looking at playing 500 dates in 5 - 6 years with our awesome Celebrating Queen Show, and broadcasting a 30 minute infomercial called "Everybody Sings" program in many of the TV markets we play."
