My newest obsession...
I never really understood why people enjoyed karaoke. That is until I tried it on a recent cruise I was on. I was always too shy to sing in front of a crowd, but then I thought, "what the heck? I'll never see these people again, and most of them are even too drunk to recognize if I see them tomorrow". So I gave it a try, and LOVED IT!
My poor husband has had to put up with this new fascination of mine because guess what... there are like a million and one karaoke videos on youtube. So I can do it for free all of the time now!Here are my favorites, where I actually sound kind of decent:
Jewel - Foolish Games
Aretha Franklin - Natural Woman
Roxette - It must have been Love
Sophie B. Hawkins - Damn, I wish I was your LoverHere are some songs that I sing for fun, even though they're nearly impossible:
Flo Rida - Low
Black Eyed Peas - Imma Be
Soulja Boy - Crank Dat
50 Cent - In Da Club (Brian said with this one, I sounded more like 20 cent)Here are the songs I sing when Brian has to drag me to bed because it's 2am, and I'm on my 6th glass of wine:
Guns N' Roses - Welcome to the Jungle
Daniel Bedingfeld - If You're not the One
Whitney Houston - I will always Love You
The Cranberries - ZombieYou should give it a try if you're home bored one night. It's actually pretty entertaining!

i love being the audience, we should do a duet
We HAVE done a duet... "Hotel California" anyone???
I've never had the guts to try karaoke, but I've always wanted to. Remember how against it you were when Jason and Don got into it?
@maiuri - Yes, and I'm still against it at parties where you're holding your guests prisoner. I would like to confine it to cruise ships, bars, or the quietness of your home when nobody has to listen to you (Brian Dillon excluded).
Yes, to while away time and drive the blues away.
OMG, I need to hear you sing "Natural Woman".
