Yes, exactly what I'm saying (about mark hoppus). Actually their music isn't bad, it's just that different people different taste. To pop genre lovers, they will say loud music like emo punk or heavy metal are bad music while to heavy metal lovers they might say the other way, so you get what i mean, its just how the world goes, different people different taste, just that. Music doesnt just involve either pop only or heavy metal only if you look at it on the bright side and look at it from the bigger picture.
Sorry guys, I'm not really a fan of heavy metal so I dont know Nightwish, I only know those very popular heavy metal bands like Metallica and etc.. but yea what I meant was like growling and screaming cuz most heavy metal I hear b4 are like that.
Most heavy metal are not good for training to sharpen your 'singing' skills but good to sharpen your instrument skills. I also use some of them to practice for guitar.
The best to start off with is with Pop Rock or Pop Punk (from my point of view) then after long time only you move up to higher standard(if can la). But singing like those Pop Rock and Pop Punk artists also good enough already. They are not the best but they are quite good edi. No need to become damn good like Mariah Carey lol...damn good singing also still the song that matters a lot too. I dont really recommend practising with My Chemical Romance's Gerard Way's singing if Pop-Punk cuz that fella actually can sing quite well also (if minus the screaming lol), so he is a bit high standard like same level as tom delonge type of voice, not mark hoppus.
As for Soul and Blues, I really very seldom listen to that led_zep_freak cuz my fav genre in music is Pop, Pop Rock and Pop Punk. But I do think that I listen to few of them before and I think their singing is actually something similar to Pop and R&B isn't it? Maybe you can recommend me some of the blues/soul songs that you like so that I can check them out and see if its suitable for practising singing or not
.
I think if you like soul and blues you should go to the Yamaha at 1utama singing class one because I think oldies might relate to some blues and soul (I THINK. correct me if I'm wrong. and its the most cheapest class anyway lol). Well anything also, you can always ask the teacher to teach you what type of songs you would like to learn (since your paying the fella anyway
).
Oh btw, for sure if you sing out loud got problem one. A lot of people are like this also, not just you, sing softly is of course easier, so you should start softly first, then only slowly go loud. But wanna practice loud actually you need a suitable place also, I also dont practice loud at home if my parents are around cuz it attracts people and that ruins your practising privacy lol. I only practice loud if I'm alone at home, or when got friend come, at friend's place or outside.
As for singing with instruments, It just takes time and practice thats all. you just need to hit the right key on the instruments that suits the vocals. You can recognize what key is correct by listening to the song and mark the part where they say this and that...example: "hello hello, I'm here all alone feeling slow" <-- at "hello hello" maybe the artists is playing the C chord on guitar, then he changes to G at "I'm here all alone feeling slow", so all you have to do is actually mark the words and what chord or riff changes because in singing also there is C, G, A, D notes and other notes similar to the ones you play on guitar,piano,keyboard so you just need to match them both. and it takes time and practice thats all. As for drums you just need to listen which beat goes with what they say. Anyone can do it. But if you know how to sing properly, its of course a lot better. Any song also can, if you are damn good you wanna play pop guitar solo or kirk hammet guitar solo while singing also can LOL. it just takes time and practice for this one.

Of course, one can dream. 
.But I do practice at home since I was in primary school, so I keep improving, I just practice by listening to the song and try to vibrate or whatever that I find cool or new inside the fella's song. At first you must try to imitate the fella at least and do what he does, then after you are u think u are good enough, then only you can go with your own style and find your own voice.
