It's a funny thing about singing. When you tell people you are a singer, they almost never say: "Oh. You're a singer? Let me hear you sing something then!" That only happens when family members and auditions.
It is a job requirement as a singer that you have a certain amount of shamelessness in your personality. At a professional level, it is absolutely expected of you. No shrinking violets there. People literally wonder "How good of a singer can this dude be if he doesn't think he is the best singer ever?". It's pretty messed up, but it is the nature of the beast.
And if you screw up, you have to have a short memory like a defensive back or an offensive lineman.
