How good are you at singing?

I love Elliott Smith, but he's not actually a good singer. He writes beautiful songs, but his breath control is terrible, and while he's fortunate that shakiness sounds pleasant/heartbreaking in his voice, for most other people, that would be disastrous. xPFieryTrainwreck said:
I've got okay technique. I've been taking vocal at school for four years, and I can do "classical" music pretty well, but my tone isn't good in the upper notes. Fortunately, I'm indispensable in most choirs because I have perfect pitch and I can sight-read anything.
Edit: Don't make me sing pop music. I can maybe do Regina Spektor, but everything else, uh... Not too much character in my voice, I'm afraid.
Well, I come from a very musical family -- everyone sings, most of us play an instrument -- and in addition to that, I have a fair amount of classical training from being heavily involved in the music departments at my schools all the way from the fifth grade through my Freshman year in college -- during which time I majored in music. While I was majoring in music, I was a member of the choir, the classical guitar ensemble, and the vocal jazz ensemble -- which was the highest level vocal group on campus. You've never seen a piece of music with difficult harmonies until you've looked at a vocal jazz piece. By the way, this is completely aside from private lessons, theory, ear training, the recital semminar, and my non music-related classes.
Anyway, It's been a year since I stopped performing on a regular basis. I'm a little bit rusty, but once I start singing again, I should get back into shape pretty quickly -- it's just a matter of warming up daily, which I haven't done in over a year. I'm going to a new school in the fall, where hopefully not all of the talented musicians will be locked up in the music program. There's so much work involved in majoring in music that most music majors don't have time for any sort of a side project, and it's side projects that I'm really interested in; I want to play Iron Maiden and Nightwish, not Schubert and Mozart.

I don't really know. I don't really wanna find out either because I'm sure it's woeful. Must keep myself in a bubble of ignorance!
I've been told I'm "really good" but I know I'm pretty average, if that. There are a handful of songs I can sing, and that's it. Which basically means I can't sing.
I'm pretty sure I'm the best singer in the world so long as no one can hear my. At all other times I'm just plain terrible.
It depends on the song. Some songs I sound horrible because I sing it in a key that's out of my range. Other songs I'm pretty good in, and I can harmonize and stuff. So yea, I fluctuate.

Ontopic: My singing is like when you put A LOT of small rocks in a blender and turns it on. At least almost the same.
No I'm awful at singing, however this doesn't stop me and I do sing, when no ones around that is.
