Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I'm a singer myself and that happens to me whenever I have to sing!. I know you're not suppose to close your eyes when you sing but if that helps then just shut them and pretend that there is nobody else there and that you're in your room singing to your music and it's just you!.
The people in the audience aren't going to worry if you make a few little mistakes, all they want is just to hear you sing!.
So obviously if you've gotten a solo you must be a good singer, so if you have a gift of singing then use it!

I know it's a bit hard at time but trust me, once you do it a few times it'll be alright!.


Good Luck!!

One word: PRACTICE!!!!

One sentence; Keep on singing, you'll get better, and you'll stop being nervous eventually!.

I've been singing off and on since I was 12, and I'm not solo material either, although I've done it before!. When I had to sing a solo, I thought up this trick: I just closed my eyes and let the song go where it would!.

Tape yourself singing the song, then play it back for someone and get their opinion!. It's ok to be nervous, but just relax and you'll be ok!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

K, so do NOT sing a pop song!.!.!.example NO Beyonce, NO Christina Aguilera, etc!.
Choose a song that you KNOW really well, if you don't have a clue, pick something that is a standard song!.!.!.like something from an older broadway show or something like that (music teacher could help)!.
The problem with pop songs is that all that screaming and trills and frills sucks and is very very difficult (even if you think you've got it when singing at home in your room, believe me, you don't)!.
Song choice is key!. Make a good choice!. Stand tall and confident and sing OUT and you'll be terriffic!.
Good luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com

hey, if you go the solo clearly you are NOT a horrible singer!. Practice the song and make sure you know the words, and pretend to be someone you're not!. its sometimes easier to be someone else then to be yourselfWww@QuestionHome@Com
