Kara-Okee

  The title is misspelled intentionally, as I have seen it spelled two different ways, and I don't know what the correct spelling is? The one I attended was spelled Karaoke, which I think is the proper one?
The other spelling I saw was Karyoke. But who knows, maybe these are two brands and they compete against each other?
But however you spell it, I can sum it up with just one word, FUN! It is definitely a good way to spend an evening. I have gone twice. The first time, I made up my mind that I would give it a fair try, as most all of my preconceptions were negative. So I went in, determined to keep an open mind! I wasn't there too long before I realized that it was fun, even though I didn't sing.
  Other then the two drunk chicks, a couple of kids who couldn't hold their liquor, screaming and giggling into the microphone, everything else was just plain old fashioned fun! The majority of them can't sing a lick, but that doesn't stop them as they believe that they are good? And then again, there are a few who are genuinely good! On a typical Saturday night, there are Karaoke events all over. The ones I enjoy the most are those who come in, sing a song and leave to go to the next bar. And again, they are hurting no one, and they enjoy performing, so why not? Go ahead and sing your heart out! I gave in about halfway through my second visit. I knew that the ones who sounded the worst, were those who sung songs that weren't in their range, and so I picked something that I could handle. I picked Road House Blues, and I did a pretty good job with it, if I do say so myself. Apparently, I just did?
