Have You Ever Gone to a Karaoke Event? / myLot

Going to a bar to listen to or actually sing a song became a very popular thing for people to do for entertainment during the heyday of Karaoke. Many establishments would set aside a weekday when business was slower to provide a fun activity for patrons to do. Some places still offer Karaoke. I've never gone to such an event personally, but know people who have, and they really enjoyed it. So, it got me to thinking what song I would try to sing at a karaoke event. I'm a big Gordon Lightfoot fan and although not a very good singer could probably sound similar enough to him to do one of his tune justice. The song I would pick of Gord's would be "If You Could Read My Mind," my favorite track he recorded. Questions of the Day: 1. ***If you were to go to Karaoke, what song would you pick to sing? 2. ***If you have been to a karaoke event did you sing a song? If not, of the participants who did, what was the name of the performer's song that really stood out the best? Photo- Amazon

I have a horrible voice and would never share it with anyone!!! I do like Words of Love sung by Mama Cass Elliott.

I would sing Jason Aldean’s, “Drowns the Whiskey”. I think I could do it justice. Of course, I don’t drink, and I’ve never been to a karaoke event, so the likelihood of this happening is low, but hey, you never know!

I used to go to a little bar in Colorado City and they had karaoke there. I did finally get up the nerve to sing. The only sang one certain song and that was Harper Valley PTA. I always had lots of fun when I went to that little bar and listened to people singing.

On our last (and I mean last) cruise, I sang Help me Make it through the night and Sound of Silence. I realized that no one listens, they're too busy talking and drinking. It was just one part of a terrible cruise. Don't get me started.

I have gone to a couple of Karaoke nights. Good fun. Never sang in one, though. If You Could Read My Mind is a great song.

Absolutely NOT, I like music and I like soft music, I hate loud sounds and I really dislike karaoke.

I would love to go to a Karaoke night but doubt I would have the guts to get up and sing. But, back in the good old days I probably would have gotten up and sung but I don't know which sing I would pick,
