Wiki always a good source for information

Microphone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Preamplifier - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

your singing mic is a "XLR" balanced mic? and you're using some kinda adapter?

but this situation will not happen if i were to plug in computer mic.. <-- your computer mic is unbalanced most prob.

sounds like impedance problems to me.

yes you need a preamp if you're using an XLR mic.
pls read the DIY recording faq =)
