I am hooked. I like comparing the people to the originals. I like hearing music that I either secretly like and wouldn’t tell anyone. (John Denver, Neil Diamond, Gloria Gaynor, Willie Nelson etc…)
It would be fun to get up there and belt out a decent voice, dressed up like the star you are playing and have a real audience rather than the one in the mirror while you are singing in your hair brush and dancing in your underwear.
Anyone else? Please tell me I am not a loon…or at least if you think I am, soften the blow and nod with that “knowing” look but I am too oblivious to pick it out.
I don’t know who I would “be” if I had the chance. That chance is never because I have a horrible singing voice but it would be fun to get up there!
Saint, really I am okay. I also like ball room dancing, ice skating and other goofy stuff. On the other hand I am watching Detroit pull apart LA in the NHL playoffs. I would say I am a well-rounded person. Ummmm, yeah, that’s what I am.
techie, move to NY. Every weekend we get together with about 20 or 25 people and jam. We play instruments, sing (we have a recording studio in our upstairs) and otherwise have a blast. You can be anyone! Sometimes I’m Gloria Gaynor and sometimes I’m ABBA. Whatever floats your boat! It’s like Karaoke without the strangers. It’s a great release, and for those who don’t have great voices, my husband has an “effects” machine that does wonders.
Did you ever see the episode on The Drew Carey Show where Kate wanted to be in the band and she performed so horribly that Oswald quit (they were dating at the time) because Lewis and Drew didn’t want her to sing?
I would imagine that if I sang amongst your friends, I might be subjected to a similar reaction only picked up by my feet and given a swirly in your toilet! < snicker >
I’m not that bad but I never sing Happy Birthday or The National Anthem…I fear retribution for my horrible singing.
I loathe this show. It’s one of the primo piece of crapola that comes on on weekends. When will the networks learn that if you put something on besides bad 80’s movies, golf and old episodes of Charles In Charge, maybe you’ll get some decent ratings?
I auditioned to be on that show. Didn’t make it though. Guess there’s just not much market for Joni Mitchell soundalikes. It’s too bad, 'cause I woulda KICKED ASS!
Strainger, dearest, I sincerely hope that that comment was a suggestion to choose an artist more likely to be chosen for the show, and not a slam against my idol Joni, because if it’s the latter we’re gonna have to scrap.
Is that show still on? Is it still hosted by Kid? Or is that Play? I never could keep them straight.
Did my first karaoke at the company Xmas party. Wouldn’t have, except the pres (his place and multi-trillion-dollar system) and sales vp were hogging it and were EVEN WORSE!
I improved after a cigarette. My biggest regret of quitting smoking, besides the weight gain and, despite that, the increased chances of a long life, is that it took at least a half octave off the top and bottom.
