Karaoke Forums

Mullets, beer holders, a racing jacket with some driver's name all over it, maybe wearing a wife beater under it, high-top old athletic shoes without socks, lots of cigarettes, and a buncha ill-mannered kids running around yelling at the top of their lungs. Oh boy. Doncha wanna go?

Oh Wait! My son-in-law builds those cars and my daughter takes my grandkids to the races - take it all back!

Before I started KJ'ing, I was a singing junkie and took in a lot of shows in my area almost every night of the week. I heard a nice hotel was starting a new show, so I gathered up my buddies and we headed over.
The guy literally has a big boom-box and maybe 30 regular CD's, not CDG's, and no TV. He had printed out lyrics to some songs from the CD liners. He expected people to sing along with the original artist through a Radio Shack mike plugged into his boom-box, no mixer.
We questioned the host, his response was that this was really a karaoke show.
We were dumbfounded. We never sang, we just left and went somewhere else.
Reflecting on it, this guy may not have been a good KJ, but either he was a helluva good talker to get the job or the lounge manager was as dumb as dirt.

I think we're glossing over the real question here. Why, after all this time, is she still your girlfriend and not your wife? Marry her already!!!!!

, we spilt up for 6 months 3 years ago. We had become best friends, but didn't know whether there was more to us than that.

I have never settled for "settling" so I put it to her that we should take a separation, which we did. We both saw other people, but I never felt "connected" to them, and we still remained the best of friends.

It was then that I realised that I wanted to spend my life with her, so I fought tootha and nail to get her back. She took a lot of persuading, and in the process I changed - for the better. She gave me a 2nd chance in so many ways, and 3 months later we got engaged. But we have no rush, we are saving (hence me working nights) for the wedding, as we have no intention of becoming married under a debt.

So she will be my wife

See, like 8 years ago, I had a JVC CDG player (still got it) and we'd hook that up to the TV and home stereo for a sing along. After we got drunk, sure we'd sing along to CDs as well...

But advertising that as a karaoke night? That takes balls, or dillusions...

Smart move. My GF is also my best friend and we like it that way. We've been together for nine years and have never had a fight or major disagreement. Odd thing is, we are total opposites. Although we have similar likes, there are way many more differences like she's country and I'm rock (kinda like an Osmond's song), she's a regular church goer and in choir where I am not, she's Democrat and I'm ...well...you know, one of those evil right wing GOPs.

There is a place in my city that is like that. They have the nerve to call themselves "Karaoke Inn". They have a cheap home Singing Machine unit that uses 8-Tracks and cassettes, but no karaoke versions of the music. There are two mics positioned about the bar and when someone plays the jukebox, you just grab a mic and sing along with whatever is in the jukebox. The real kicker is that the bar owner has a Down's Syndrome adult daughter that has her own mic and jabbers along with the music, but only when someone else tries to sing. If you stop, she stops. Start up, and she resumes. Very odd. No problem with DS people, my mom took care of DS kids and we played together when I was young.

hey, I'm one. Wanna see my DE sr and jr die-cast collection?

Im watchin the race right now!! Im also a car nut and have a short track car in my shed. supercharged is not just a name..
