    Ah the infamous talent show. You either loved them or used them as an excuse to get out of class. But, if you've seen my videos about how sensitive and shy Baby FOAFY was, you'd never think I would have even tried out for a talent show. Well, think again! These are some of my Talent Show Stories.

    I've had a similar experience. I was pretty quiet, but when I heard my school was doing a talent show, I wanted to do it. I didn't know what my talent was though. I considered comedy, but I decided I wasn't funny. I decided my talent would be "real estate" so I sold out school in a sketch, so in a roundabout way I ended up doing comedy. Everyone enjoyed it and now I'm considered a well established comedian. The cool thing is that when I started, I was one of a couple comedy acts, and now comedy is roughly a quarter of the perfomances.

    I never did talent shows in school, but I do remember one of my first times performing, and that really helped my social anxiety as well. It was a showcase for my guitar class, and we had a few people singing. I sang "Heart of Gold", and I swear I remember being handed the microphone and then handing it right back. I'm told I sang well, but I don't remember a single second of it

I even have the exact clothing of what he wore on his Eruption video. Napoleon Dynamite shirt and red shorts.

    At a talent show at my school had pretty normal acts in the beginning. Singing pop songs, playing guitar and piano and ukulele and drums, etc. Someone even brought their dog and did tricks. The basic. For the last act, someone put on a stage mic, and pulled out a poetry book. I was curious why she needed a stationary mic instead of the normal stationary mic. Then, she went to the side of the stage and pulled at a FREAKING UNICYCLE. She then rode her unicycle around the stage while reading poetry about scoliosis (because she had scoliosis). Simple to say, it was great.

    My school's "talent show" was not an optional feature. The teachers literally forced the students, or forced me, to perform for the talent show. Got letters to my parents about how I refused to engage in school activities which my parents were not happy about or something and I was just forced into a talent show. To smack two sticks together for some sort of Mexican song or something. Wasn't allowed to use the wooden road or fish but to take two sticks and literally go "clack clack clack" for a full fifteen minutes. Was not the only one, everyone in my class was doing it. And the school called it a talent show so...
    Aside from your nerves. Yours sounds like it was fun.

    So once for a talent show, My friends and I decided to perform a fan-made song based on a horror game. The song was cute, and you couldn't really tell that it was based on a horror game. We practiced for months and nailed the audition. Unfortunately, we decided to not tell them what the song was based on, as that could kill our chances. We ended up getting the part, and all was well... Until they found out. It was the day before the talent show, and We were excited until we got called to the principal's office. He ended up telling us that we couldn't perform the song, as he didn't want the younger kids to realize they the song was based on a horror game. BUT. We still had to perform something. In under 24 hours, we had to come up with something to perform in front of the entire school!!! We ended up doing really cheesy jokes in front of the school. I think we all died inside on that day

    Can't be any more embarrassing than Marty playing "Go Johnny Go" in BTTF in 1955

    For my schools talent show, was part of the equipment crew, and me and the rest of the crew didnt want to go since we were all talentless hacks, until our professor offered us pizza and we ended up going and sitting in the equipment room, which had a nice view of everything, eating pizza.
    Honestly one of my favorite days

    Fun fact: the teal/greenish blue guitar you showed is the same exact type of guitar I have played in talent shows using for the past four years.

    Lol I had to play Sunshine Of Your Love in front of a bunch of parents on my bass because at the place where I learn bass they put you in a band and you play a show every 4 months. I literally have to play a bunch of 80s songs next Sunday.
