I’ve been meaning to post this for… oh, about a year now. Thursday night is Karaoke night at a barestaurant between my office and the train station. Every thursday night, I walk past said establishment. Every Thursday night I hear horrible, scary noises coming from inside the place. It’s only 6:30pm. These people can’t be completely drunk already, but they certainly sound like it!
What is the fascination with karaoke? Even American Idol didn’t use any live musicians this year. Why must I listen to cheesy back-up singers?
Actually, American Idol did use live musicians this year, granted it didn’t happen until after you posted this but they did.
Maybe so, but there was still a proliferation of cheesy back-up singers.
They could be drunk by 6:30. Isn’t that the end of Happy Hour?
And the proliferation of cheesy back-up singers is because it’s WAAAAAY cheaper than hiring live musicians. But I think you already knew that. 🙂
Clearly, people that are drunk *know* that they are the next Mariah Carey (be they man or woman).
I am not the next Mariah Carey. I was the first Mariah Carey.
