A survey of 2,000 adults has revealed that 14 per cent believe they sound better than some of today's top performers – including Justin Bieber, Madonna and Adele. An impressive 69 per cent admit to singing along at gigs and festivals, while one in 10 rate their vocal talent as an eight out of 10 or higher.
However, four in ten wish they could erase the sound of their own voice or others from videos where it spoils the moment, and 31 per cent admitted they may have 'enjoyed the gig a bit too much', potentially ruining other people's recordings in the process.
16% are impressed by their own vocal range.

The study was commissioned by Samsung, which has developed an 'Audio Eraser' tool on its newly launched Galaxy S25 Edge where users can remove unwanted background noise from videos by isolating categories of sound.
Of those who watch their recordings back of gigs, 24 per cent find hearing their own performances amusing, while 22 per cent are mortified.
A third confessed their singing was worse than they realised once listening back to their footage. However, 16 per cent are impressed by their own vocal range, reports the Mirror.

Almost half admitted they find it annoying when other people sing along at gigs or festivals when they're trying to capture the moment.
Two thirds believe that poor vocals from fans can spoil an otherwise brilliant concert video, according to data from OnePoll.com. And 19 per cent have even contemplated asking someone to stop singing loudly when recording a clip of their favourite song.
The newly launched upgrade and rewards programme is known as New Galaxy Club.

Annika Bizon from Samsung remarked: "Everyone's been there, watching back that epic gig clip only to wince at hearing your own singalong vocals or the scream from the fan next to you.
"It's all part of the experience, but we get it, you want to relive the moment hearing only the artist you love."
