It'd

It'd be nice if you can sing for my friend. or

I'd be nice if you could sing for my friend.

Thanks!

Hi,

What about:

It'll be nice if you can sing for my friend. There's a good possibility that it will happen.

What's the difference between above sentence and:

It'd be nice if you could sing for my friend. It sounds unlikely that it will happen.
