have you ever been to a karaoke party? you know, the ones with the karaoke machines? i know now a days everyone probably uses videogames like karaoke revolution or singstar but i remember when i was a teen, our high school had a karaoke party after prom one year, and let me tell you, that was the most hilarious thing i have ever seen. i remember my friend michelle and i sang “people are strange” and i suck at following the lyrics on the screen, so it was mostly her singing and me mumbling along.

its surprising just how popular karaoke has become. there are tons of karaoke music cds now and its even been on MTV! there’s even portable karaoke machines out there so you can have a party anywhere. i never really enjoyed the karaoke videogames myself, but that’s because they judge you based on your overall vocal tone and not really how you sing the songs. regular karaoke doesn’t judge you at all of course, so its more fun and laid back and you can have a blast laughing at each other and your mess ups.

i’d love to have a real karaoke party sometime. of course i don’t have a machine or the videogames but i could probably buy some karaoke songs online and just sing to them with my computer. not as much fun of course but it could work.
