I like to explain to my friends and family that God gave me the gift to sing loud, but not necessarily in tune. If they don't like my singing, they should take it up with Him. I am just using the gifts that He gave me. I believe the people who generally sit in front of me in church have gotten used to it and are now also tone deaf.
Besides singing in church, I also love to sing in the car. However, instead of being embarrassed about other people seeing me, I sing louder and start pointing at them while I dance, like I'm the headliner at a rock concert and I want them to come back stage and hang out later. They usually either laugh or at least stop staring. My teenage daughter plays along when it is just the two of us in the car, but a couple of times I have forgotten that her friends are there. They think I'm cool.
Lastly, I also sing with my headphones on while I am doing chores around the house. Nobody sings well with headphones on, so in order to maintain the grading curve, I sing extra loud and dance around the living room. Don't get me started on my awesome dance moves.
