Things I Like: Singstar and Karaoke

[auraesque]

I like to think of myself as a karaoke gift to the world. I am not a terribly talented vocalist, but gosh-darn-it I have fun on stage (and I pick songs that everyone can sing with me, heee).

My parents recently invested in Singstar for the family. We downloaded a few songs and played it one weekend while I was visiting them. It was...really fun. Even my dad got in on it, singing with my brother in a couple of duets. I was pleasantly surprised by my family singing along--my sister, who has a gorgeous voice but never sings for anyone, sand back-up vocals. By which I mean I held the mic angled toward her while I sang so that it picked her voice up. :D

We sang the Beatles, Britney Spears, Ray Charles...lots and lots of fun karaoke songs. It was a really memorable time, and I am happy we had it.

Have you have played Singstar, or gone to a Karaoke bar? What is your favorite song to sing? To listen to?

We used to go to a karaoke bar every Friday night. We were among the "regulars." We'd have a blast, though, and that was what was important. Our favorite song to sing was "Redneck Woman" by Gretchen Wilson. Our favorite song to listen to was "Super Freak" as sang (sung?) by one Super Mike!
