If they had 'Karaokeholic Anonymous', my friends would sign me up without even asking for my consent.
In case you're wondering - No, I can't sing to save my life, just like how I can't cross the damn street and swim, but that's a different story. Just so you know, I'm not the only karaoke junkie who's confessing to this addiction. There are many more out there among us. Keep your radar on.
Like coffee, ice-cream, and the notorious alcohol, karaoke takes the sting out of a troubled soul. Well, in my case it does. And if you karaoke like there's no tomorrow with the right company, all hell breaks loose - in an 'ecstasizing' manner.
You don't need to be the next Malaysian Idol to be able to karaoke. All you need is a drop of confidence to belt out that favorite song of yours in a poorly lit room. Your friends really won't give a rat's ass if you can't reach that note, because they equally suck too.
But I will not deny the fact that some of the people you go karaokeing with really can sing or rap. They are the legen-*wait-for-it*-dary mic hoggers. But in my vast experience of karaokeing, you will also encounter that annoying and somewhat delusional human who can barely sing, but thinks he/she can, and still have the nerve to hog the mic, and at other times the remote control.
Here's a tip: Don't. Mess. With. Them.
Dos and Don'ts:
1) Don't sing along unless you are asked to do so.
2) Avoid accidently clicking the Cancel/Stop/Next button when he/she is performing. (Click at your own risk.)
3) If you are unsure if the song that just appeared on screen is yours, do not by any chance assume it is. Always, ask first.
4) If your ears are on the verge of torrential bleeding due to their distasteful singing, I recommend you visit the buffet spread and spend 5 minutes there.
I've been on a strict karaoke diet. It's been a month now, and I'm itching to sing my heart out! Any takers?
