I thoroughly enjoy karaoke after a few drinks, just as other people enjoy games of pool, poker, bowling, a movie, etc. Last night did not disappoint. The people I talked to were full of fun (and alcohol) and were just as into as I was. There are quite some talents singers as well. You can tell they practice or have been previously trained. I sang a few songs from my 90's days, such as "Mr. Jones" by The Counting Crows, "Comedown" by Bush, "Plush" acoustic version by Stone Temple Pilots, and a little 80's with "Love Song" by The Cure. I too use the practice, rehearse approach for just about everything I sing, otherwise my nerves might be unsettled.
Unfortunately, my phone died just as I was about to record me singing one of them. (I'm not that bad though really) I can redeem myself with embarrassment by posting some videos of me singing out and about in the next round.
I also have a karaoke DJ friend that is holding a competition in Arlington that is coming up soon. Winners can take home $100-200 for winning in a night and can be selected to participate in a finale where the winner competes to win $600. I doubt that I could compete against singers of that caliber, but It wouldn't hurt to try.
So, do you do karaoke? What are some of your favorite songs to sing in the shower at least? Tell me about an awesome bar in your town that has karaoke.
