Karaoke and You

[Soot and Stars]

I went out for karaoke tonight again. Tonight I sang:



Honestly, with my competition there I actually stood out as above average. My friend is awesome though and always stands out. he tells me I'm not as bad as I act like I am. On "Aeroplane" I had my timing off at the beginning but "Zero" is second nature to me and was my best. I tried "One" for the first time and I thought it was a good effort by me considering it's far from a flat song. I even attempted the "Oooooh" parts that I usually avoid because I have a hard time with those without hearing the vocal playing. I made it through like a champ without embarrassing myself.

My friend who fronts his second local band for the area is really great. He sang his regular staple "Fuel-Hemorrhage" and tried some different songs since the crowd was people he didn't know and didn't care anyway. He sang "Tonic-If You Could Only See", "Third Eye Blind-Semi Charmed Life" and 'Coldplay-The Scientist".

Here's a sample of his singing with two different bands. His band really needs to learn "Hemorrhage" IMO because it's in his range quite a bit but I give him credit for singing everything from Alice In Chains to Radiohead to Grand Funk Railroad with his band. He's got a pop rock voice though and to me his voice is a little unique compared to a lot of vocalists. Here's one from each of his bands that I think he pulls off despite some sound quality issues.

Goo Goo Dolls-Name (Cover with Wrong Finger)


Hoobastank-The Reason (Cover With Slanted Shadow)

Tonight I had an awesome night at karaoke. I sang "Zero" by the Pumpkins again and I seemed to have mastered it but the fun part was I tried a rap song which is more of a challenge. I did my best white boy gangsta and did a decent job of the Warren G. classic "Regulate":



Everyone in our group of 4 sang something. The best singer out of all of us Rob sang The Fray "You Found Me". The one with the deepest voice sang Crash Test Dummies "Mhmmm Mhmmm Mhhhm mhhhm" at our request and our friend Dan and Rob collabed on Pearl Jam "Black" in a cool moment where I and two other stragers went up and chimed in our loudest Eddie Vedders. "Black" is one of the most amazing songs ever and it was awesome having five fans enjoying it. One of my most enjoyable karaoke nights ever!

Cosmic-It would be a blast!

North-I'd love to see those and don't think karaoke covers are a copyright issue!

Taboo-Same here! The world would be a perfect place if people busted out singing anywhere and everywhere when they felt like it!
