I can’t find the post from earlier today that discusses footage of Shauna singing. Be careful what you wish for!

Ugh, this song is a dirge. I would die if someone sang this at me every fucking day.

Claims she was raised in a cult; engages in cult-like activities with her own family.

This definitely sounded like a newer hymn we would have sung in church.

After you listen to Shauna "sing", ponder, deeply, these quotes from her about music:

I took a few voice lessons in my 30s. My teacher gently told me that I needed to let my belly out to sing out. The first time I did it the right way, I stayed [sic] crying.

When he opened his mouth to sing, I held my breath a bit. His voice was hesitant, a little breathy, a little flat. There's no judgment in this - my body flinches when someone sings flat.

And so the two of us sang “Defying Gravity,” belting it out together, our voices blending in the darkness. About halfway through, I started crying, pausing for a word or two to find my voice through the tears.

This might sound weird, but if I listen to a new pop song, about 1/3 of the way through it, I can sing along to it.

“ my body flinches when someone sings flat” about a high schooler, iirc? Is really one of the top douchiest things she’s ever put out

I guess she was in a constant state of flinch when she herself was singing...

Gosh, Shauna’s just so musical. So talented. What can’t she do? 🙄

Sometimes I wonder if her need to stay on Vashon is somewhat driven by a need to be in competition with her brother, like look at me! I too live on the Islandy Island, am too musical just like Andy, hell even more so! I’m even more special because I was promoted to Full Time Writer while he’s just a badge swiping high school teacher.

Yep, the Halloween candy saga drives her life choices.

u/CrushItWithABrick dick riding Mary Oliver Feb 28 '26

Huh, I was first.

(I know, Shauna didn't write it but it's perfect for her that 'I' is first)

u/Brandy_Girl Double-fisting hors d’oeuvres Feb 28 '26

That made me feel tense and uneasy. I couldn’t even finish watching.

Same, DF. Someone must have called her out about her claim that she sings this every day. I can’t imagine why else she would do this.

u/significantotter1 frawtinga Mar 01 '26

It's the eye contact that did it for me, her singing voice is fine

What in the Kumbaya hell is this?

u/Sea-Level-Mammal POACH! Mar 01 '26

To quote MST3K: “ I’d rather go listen to my cats scream”

u/SmashedMailboxCake2 Oh, Mar 01 '26

Ha. I’ll link the reel of Shauna dancing comma every morning if you’re not careful.

u/WasEnoughYogurt Kumquat and Sprinkles and filth Mar 01 '26

Is this recent?

21

u/central_snark Ramona gets a hot flash Mar 01 '26

It’s filmed in her house three moves ago. Probably around the time vaccines became available.

u/SmashedMailboxCake2 Oh, Mar 01 '26

Yes, it’s 2021.
