WIBTAH if I told my friends that people think my singing is bad?

For context, I (F17) have been singing since 7. I come from an Indian background and I did classical Idian singing lessons from age 7 to 16. It wasn't intense vocal training, but you can see where I'm coming from. I'm not saying I'm a professional level singer, but I think I'm good enough, given that on my youtube channel people leave nice comments sometimes (I've gotten a couple of hate comments too, but majority of people say nice things).

So in schol my friends whom I'll call pink, purple and yellow were hanging out with some other people during a free period. They started asking me to sing (specifically Frozen's "into the unknown") because they were impressed with the notes I hit and they wanted others to hear. I eventually said yes, but I asked to sing a different song "mysitcal magical" by Benson Boone. When I was singing I was laughing because the situation felt funny. There were 3 girls who i didn't know too well so it felt weird singing in front of them, but I still did it. I'll call these 3 girls green, blue and red. So when I started singing they were laughing here and there. To be honest, I didn't sound my best, I had voice cracks and I sounded shaky and off pitch, and I didn't finish the whole song because it would take too long. But I kept on fake laughing just to blend in with green, red and blue, to be honest they were the only ones laughing and my acutal friends weren't. After I was done they told me that the reason they were laughing was because apparently Hailey Beiber made fun of that song, and then they said I sounded good.

Thing is, yellow also sings too, like she started at the same age as me and she still does Indian classical singing lessons. When it was her turn to sing, she sang an Indian song. Honestly as always, she was amazing and she didn't laugh when she sang. After she was done everyone was saying she was good. Green, blue and red were shocked and were hyping yellow up when she was done. However they didn't give me the same amount of hype when I was done and they didn't laugh during her performance. By all means I'm not jealous of yellow, I am so happy for her and she deserves all the hype, I was hyping her up too becuase her voice is stunning.

However when I got home I searched up the whole "Haliey Beiber making fun of the song mystical magical" but I couldn't find it anywhere. I admit that me searching this up when I got home seems immature, but I couldn't find anything on the internet claiming that she made fun of the song. So my brain is going towards the idea of how green, red and blue thought my singing was bad and they made up an excuse for why they were laughing.

Also today in PE when I saw green and blue they looked at me and when I looked away they said "embarassing" and it genuinely felt like it was targeted towards me. I know it seems like I'm making assumptions but I genuinely can't get my mind off this, especially given that I still practice but I don't do lessons anymore however I really want to improve my singing. I'm not planning on pursuing singing full time in the future because I'm a STEM student, but I still want to improve.

So should I tell pink, purple and yellow how I feel?
