Karaoke, Love or Loathe?  

I personally can take it or leave it. But i have a close friend and workmate who lives for it.

Nobody has the heart to tell him he is not very good as he sounds like a cat going through a mincer.

Have you any suggestions on how to break it to him,?

I like karaoke, what I don't love is people who don't realize that there time is better soent elsewhere.

Personally, I go out singing karaoke with my friends at least once every week. We have some great singers in our group. I don't consider myself a bad singer, although probably not the best. Others apparently think I'm pretty good because they compliment my singing all of the time.

I sing for the fun of it, although I like to take it serious to some extent. There is one guy who comes in and does nothing but yell and sometimes change the words of songs to insult people. He may be having fun, but at the expense of other people.

No matter how bad a singer is though, I try not to insult them. At least they had the courage to get up there in front of people and try. Many people don't have the courage to do that. Sometimes they just need to find the right songs to fit their voice and they will do much better. The truth is that some people can sing better than others can, but you have to give them credit for having the nerve to get up on the stage and at least try.
