Do you enjoy karaoke? Singing or Listening to Others? Why?

Question

Do you prefer singing in the privacy of your own home or out in public at a bar somewhere? Also, if anybody has any funny karaoke-singing stories, I would love for you to share those here.

Answer 1

Karaoke (in Japanese) means to sing out of key. I have been a musician for over 20 tears playing at local bars and clubs. One pretty funny story that happened to me was that while our 4 piece band was playing at a club a local soccer team that just got done playing (still in uniforms) came to the club and about a half hour later the opposing team came in and full drag down brawl broke out and the club had virtually no security. Needless to say we kept playing and the 2 teams trashed the club. About 20 minutes later the police came and attempted to arrest several of the players, but they pretty much all fled with bumps and bruises.

Answer 2

I LOVE KARAOKE. I have a group of several friends that I go with, and we are all addicted to it! I think we like the attention, and it's fun to sit and listen to everyone else... It's also fun to get a bit "drinky", too. :)

Saw a dude once that was singing "Sweet Caroline", by Neil Diamond, and he was WAY too drunk to follow the words. He gave up about half-way through the song, and just started singing f-bombs. So we all had the pleasure of listening to repeated f^cks for a minute or so until the karaoke dj turned the song off. Wild.

I am a nearly 30-years old white, blonde girl, and I like to get up and karaoke to Eminem. Get's the crowd going every time! Ha ha ha!

Answer 3

I am not a person who has a public voice so i do prefer to sing in private, however, one night I went to the bar that my aunt works
at and I of course really drunk, asked my aunt to sing a song with me so I didn't feel stupid and she could drown out my horrible voice, so we were singing the country song " Grandpa, tell me bout the good ole days" I don't know too much of it, but while we were singing, me awful and her okay-not too bad, I tried to hit a high note and it screetched the mic. anyways my aunt wasn't drinking but rudely on the mic. yelled at me for ruining the song and I didn't care so I started singing " She's a maniac, maniac"
The whole bar started laughing especially those who heard what
she said to me. ..... I think its funny....

Answer 5

I freakin' HATE Karaoke bars!! What a way to kill my buzz by listening to drunken idots butcher a great song. At home? No prob. In public? No way! I will leave a bar if they are having karoake. What makes these people think we actually want to hear them?
