Success

La de dah

You [...] half-croon half-hum a serviceable rendition of '[Song]'. Your [Growth] seems a little more healthy, perhaps. Maybe a little taller [...]. Is that... movement? [...] Perhaps it wants [...] to hear you more clearly. Or perhaps it's angry. Maybe that's enough singing.

Rare Success

Better than some other popular songs

You rack your brains for a suitable tune, and croon a serviceable rendition of '[Song]'. Your [Growth] seems [...] a little taller, even. Is that... movement? Is its stalk turning towards you? Perhaps it wants to be closer, to hear you more clearly.

Failure

Yeech

The current music-hall sensation ('Upon Whose Bassinet did I Find Feathers of Glass') is rather mawkish, and it has some inhumanly high notes. One coughing fit trying to sing for a sessile audience is quite enough.
