I always tell myself that whenever I sing, I have to love the song very very much or I would never sing it well. In some occasions, I was invited to sing some designated songs which I have no feelings on it, then I won't sing it well because I even don't have a heart-passion over the song. If possible, I would suggest another song to replace it.
My wife is a church pianist. In many occasions she was invited to play songs which she doesn't like. Same case applies, she doesn't play the songs well as she doesn't like them. But she usually has no say over the song selection especially when she was invited to play songs in a wedding that the songs are the "beloved songs" of the bride!
To do the best, first of all I have to love it with passion!
Maybe that's why Frontline is producing our own songs and we would select our "beloved songs" and re-arrange them in our CDs!

How's the production of the CD and songbook going? I promised that I would offer my little help to Frontline. What a pity that I am so busy these few months! DO LET ME KNOW if I can help on anything.
Ivor, it's much preferable to sing or play a piece we love with passion. However, it's not always the case. I will still do it well. Even for famous artist like Andrea Bocelli, he has to perform songs he doesn't like very much. (That's what he says in his book - Music of Silence.)
