Well..in the first post, he/she/whatever said that they think they do a " truly good job ".

Funny thing is...a LOT of the REALLY bad singers I have heard say the same thing.

If someone is a really good singer, I'd imagine they'd find other outlets for it, rather than karaoke. But, then again, karaoke isn't my thing and the only times I've been to karaoke places, there was never anyone who was very good. I thought that was normal.

i got friends in low places, where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases my blues awaaaay, well ill be ok

That's one song that I WON'T do. lol

I enjoy going out every week to do karaoke where I do a Lennon/McCartney impression and usually do :All you need is love-Hey Jude-Strawberry fields-Ticket to ride. I am not saying I am the best but I truly do a good job. What I wish is that the crowd would be honest and either clap or boo someone who really sucks! I can appreciate someone who honestly tries to do the best they can and entertain the audience as I clap and say "good job", but I've seen too many losers who are no talent wastes of space go up and take 4 or 5 minutes just to slaughter a great song as they truly have no intention of singing, just making an ass of themselves and trying to get laughs from their buddies. I used to go to a club where all was great untill the drunken dumb ass showed up and did the 8 minute song "I'm an asshole". This poor ignorant hick yelled top of his lungs while the rest of us endured the torture. After putting with this crap for weeks I decided to slip the karaoke dj 10 bucks to to say the cd was lost. He never came back and took his sorry ass to another club to put those poor souls through torment! Let's not cheer the no talent jerks on, tell them if they suck as if they were on american idol! If they are good cheer them on!! Be honest. Don't encourage the morons .

Whether you can sing or not doesn't carry much weight at a Karaoke Bar. The whole point of people going is to have FUN!

It's kind of like when you go to a club to go dancing. There are people there that will not dance until they get a few drinks in them cause that's the only way they feel comfortable enough to do it.

Ever heard the expression "ten feet tall and bullet proof"? Well that's pretty much how it is. These guys or gals that get up there acting like fools as you call it, only end up looking that way because they were too scared to do it sober. So by the time they get enough alcohol in them and feel brave enough to finally do it, they are too drunk to care what they sound or look like.

And if you think you sound pretty good, then take a chance and try out at talent shows or heck, try out for American Idol. Simon will definitely tell you whether or not you should further your career in singing or just stay at the Karaoke Bar.JMHO

There aint nothing wrong with a bit of crappyoake!

The best part is when people take it so damn seriously. Those people crack me up more than the tone deaf drunks.

I guess some people just don't realize that bad singing is part of the reason some people like to go to karaoke places.

And just imagine if you have bouncers saying, you get to go into this room and you have to go into that room......

That is just setting a TERRIBLE precedent for abuse. And it turns a karaoke bar into those elitist clubs where you can't get in unless you look hot enough or have spent enough money on your clothes.

It would be a bad, bad things.
