I definitely break out karaoke when my friends have birthday parties.
I like the Rolling Stones for karaoke. ‘Sympathy For The Devil’ is a great one.
My true memory has been tainted by old home videos of my sister and I, ages 3 and 5 respectively, singing karaoke to Britney Spears’ ‘Lucky’ in our living room, and tape recordings of my parents trying to elicit songs out of our throats at a similar or younger age.
A couple of weeks ago, I did karaoke and got nervous in a way I hadn’t gotten nervous in 25 years. I’m so used to getting on stage in front of strangers to tell jokes, but singing is a whole different animal.
Music is being treated as one big karaoke machine.
I’ve only done karaoke twice in my life.
Louis Armstrong’s ‘What a Wonderful World’ is my ultimate karaoke song. It is a wonderful world. People forget we only have a certain amount of time, and it can all end at any moment. Armstrong and Frank Sinatra’s ‘My Way’ are the ultimate one-two punch.
I’m a huge karaoke fan. Oh my God. I’m one of those girls who don’t give the mic away. It’s a problem. I’m a closeted pop star.
Karaoke World Championship is a great attempt to motivate new talent in the field of singing. The event was outstanding where I discovered amazing talent that exists in our country. It was a tough time for me and the other judges to figure out one winner as everyone participating in it was mindboggling.
I do, too, most recently while I was singing karaoke in some weird bar.
I used to do karaoke with Patrick Woolf in a karaoke box, and he would ring me up and say, ‘Come down and do karaoke with me here,’ and then we’d sing Kate Bush songs and get really, really emotional and theatrical in the booth.
My main position on karaoke is just say no. I also think there should be a cut-off level where, once you reach a certain amount of talent or ability, you shouldn’t be allowed to do karaoke anymore. Go get a band and actually do that. There’s no need to show everybody else up.
You don’t want me to sing. I could do a really bad karaoke scene, if I had to, but I’d probably choose to rap.
