I 💜 me some karaoke! It's fun to get up on stage and, for a moment, pretend that I'm the newest up-and-comer.

No, I can't sing in key. I hit only sour notes, but it's still fun! I still try though.

It doesn't matter that others are just as bad, or worse than me.

I have my "standards" like "The Rose" and "Somebody" ( Depeche Mode), but sometimes I'll try something new, like "Memory" from "Cats". Yeah, that was a swing and a miss. I won't be auditioning for Broadway anytime soon!😆

So, have you done karaoke?

Would you do karaoke?

What songs would you do, or what songs did you do?

@Anonymous032819 ..........I love going to karaoke and I only tried it once. I cant sing a lick. I sound like a sick alley cat. I like hearing others sing.

I admire your bravery

Many years ago on a business trip, they had Karaoke. I had never seen/heard it before. As the evening wore on and people had a few drinks, it was amazing what they would do.

One young woman belted out "Proud Mary" and almost had to be pulled off the stage at the end. She couldn't sing a note, but did it with gusto including lots of arm movements on the "big wheel keeps on turning" part.

It's not something I could ever imagine doing since I cannot sing.

If I had the nerve I would sing Stevie Nicks "Dreams" but I could never do it......well maybe if enough wine was flowing, LOL. I just mess around with my kids as they both are amateur musicians and that's one of songs I sing with them. My sister and I love Stevie Nicks and we actually both sang "Stand Back" at my nieces wedding, just good fun

@LindaSal

Another extreme Stevie N. fan here. I love watching the YouTube of "Stand Back" and singing along (in my computer room).

Nothing like a good swirling, twirling, hair-flinging SN's song to get you going!

In my next life, I want to be Stevie. I even bought a top hat with a veil like she often sports, but I've not had nerve enough to wear it

I haven't done it nor would I; don't like any attention being drawn toward me.

Good for you though, @Anonymous032819. But do you need to be a little 'buzzed' first?

@Anonymous032819 Love karaoke cannot carry a tune but, like you, have my '3 standards' I start with 'I've got friends in low places' then duet with DH 'Blueberry Hill' - he has good voice - then my final terrible rendition of 'Nice day for a white wedding yeah' over and out!

I know I can't sing but I do like to gave a go and the stage is mine! much to my families regret!

Love Billy Idol!

Would pay to see you do "Nice Day for a White Wedding," which is a favorite of mine!

The video on YouTube is perfect.

I admire you for getting up in front of people and singing. I hate getting up in front of people (whether or not I know them) and could never do Karaoke.

One of my favorite scenes in a movie is Cameron Diaz singing Karaoke in "Best Friend's Wedding." She is so bad but everyone had a lot of fun except Julia Roberts who wanted her to flop but it still turned out ok for Cameron. Wish I could do that, probably wouldn't have the nerve. I have always loved to sing and at one time, I sounded better but not any more.

Lucky you getting to see Billy!

I checked his 2021 tour dates and the only one close to me is Asbury Park, NJ (I'm in Maryland).

I'll have to keep an eye out for him coming to this area.

I'm sure he does a great concert!
