The Karaoke Log Book

Well…..it took me a while…but FINALLY…I decided to give it try. One Saturday night surrounded by our friends and a really friendly KJ….I DID IT!!! And you know what ???? I wasn’t too bad! Of course I have been practicing the same song for weeks…Just about everyone including my sweetheart were very surprised. It gets easier the more you get up there. I pick songs that are in my voice range and practice a bit…but most of all  I JUST HAVE FUN!!!!!!!

(and you know what else ??? I was totally SOBER !!!!! LOL!)

Now I have lots to write in my Karaoke Log!

Karaoke Confessional

March 27, 2010

OK, so I hang out at Karaoke. I freely and fully admit it. Not every week mind you, what with working a full time job, school at night,  a kid at home, stuff like that. But every couple of weeks or so, I do end up at some restaurant and/or bar where a group of folks are enthusiastically singing their hearts out with the help of wordless music and words on a screen.
Like other situations where people show up to pursue something they enjoy, you get familiar with some of the regulars. And then they worry when you haven’t been around in a long while. They may even ask folks they know you socialize with outside of Karaoke if you are OK, and what are you up to.
You even develop a bit of an immunity to the those who tend to sing between the notes or too fast or slow/
So where is the confessional? The juicy bit you are waiting for ?
Well…deep breathe…ready?  In all those nights I’ve sat there, through song after song, clapping politely or enthusiastically for each singer…

I have yet to step up to the mike !

The idea scares the hell out of me! I guess that is why I can appreciate even the less talented singers. They have the guts to get up there and sing their hearts out!
I keep telling myself I’ll get up there when…

• I find the right song
• I have had the time to practice
• I feel brave enough

Will it ever happen? I don’t really know yet. But until then, I’ll be there, applauding joyfully for everyone else!

This Is One Good Looking Book

Performance Versus Fun

Remember, Karaoke is all about Fun! But also remember that many people spend time practicing and love performing…be respectful of their performance and have fun as much as you can.

DON”T get stuck in a rut…No one wants to hear the same 3 or 4 songs from each person each week. Expand your horizons by trying new songs.

…And because very few people have perfect memories we’re here to help!!!
