You probably think you transform to Beyoncé or Celine Dion when those earphones come in and you start singing those lyrics out from your heart, but we are sorry to break it to you that you mostly sound like a squeaking rat. Here is a list of songs you should not sing along to with your earphone on.

1.Céline Dion – My Heart Will Go On

Please and please, do not sing this song with our without your earphones on. Except you are an experienced singer, even experienced singers find it hard to do justice to the song.

2.Whitney Houston – I Will Always Love You

Let’s all just respect ourselves please and respect legends too. You won’t only be annoying the people around you, you’ll be annoying Whitney’s spirit too.

3.Beyoncé – I Was Here 

You really don’t have to announce your presence by singing a Beyoncé song aloud badly. Please sing it in your mind.

4.Sia – Chandelier

How many times are we going to say please in this article?. There are songs you can sing along, this isn’t just one of them.

5.Rihanna – Love On The Brain

Even Rihanna struggled on this track, talk less you. Just avoid singing along, it’s titled ”Love On The Brain” not ”Stress on the brain” please be warned.

6.The Greatest Showman Cast – Never Enough

Look, your vocal capacity isn’t enough for this song please, sing it in your mind or in your bathroom, just do not sing it aloud when you have your earphones on.

7.Ed Sheeran – Thinking Out Loud

Do not think out loud, please dear, think inside your mind. Thanks and God bless.

10.Davido – D & G

”When I look into your eyes, all I see is your waist”
