Have you ever been to or sang in a Karaoke place?

:-)

Not me....... I have a terrible singing voice...... I'd clear the place in less than a minute.

A local pub has started something new, for people like me, and those who enjoy torture.

Every Friday night........... Krapaoke! Good singers are NOT welcome!

Not sure if I want to go there. I've only got hearing in one ear, and I don't want to lose hearing in the other one.

:-D

'Let us preserve a dignified silence'. (Oscar Wilde).

I'm a firm believer in Mr Wilde's comment especially in the vicinity of the dreaded Karaoke events.

Now I think I have a beautiful singing voice..............it's just everyone else who doesn't.

My children tell their little ones to go to sleep or Grandma will come round and sing to you....... :-|

It works every time apparently :-D :-D

:-D :-D

lol Kitty....... will I see & hear you at the local?

Only if it has reinforced glass and plastic beakers to drink from....those sound-waves can do some serious damage you know :-0 :-0

Id do well in this bar lol,

i think i have the voice of an angel, sadly babyS reminds me i cant sing when i try :-|

Children can be so cruel at times Stray .....they do say out of the mouths of babes.. :-D :-D

I've been to a karaoke bar, many moons ago.

It was great fun to watch the others in our group

I did NOT sing :-)

I'd be the kiss of death to any choir :-D :-D so not all people from Wales can sing

on the other hand, my lovely OH was in arguably the top Welsh choir for years and had a great voice :-D

Yes kitty, :-| bet his opinion would change if i asked on pocket money day lol

Ann C that reminds me of something Mum said when I was a little girl. She was telling me about her school in Worthing Sussex.

She said there was a Welsh girl who talked in a funny accent and couldn't sing a note.

This would have been in the late fifties/early sixties when anyone outside of Sussex was a "foreigner" and stereotypes were "facts" :-D :-D

I don't believe Ann in Cardiff cant sing
I lived in Cardiff in 1975
and have never met a welsh person who could not sing
We used to go to the Westgate Pub and by 9pm every song bird was singing :-D :-D

Also on a Saturday where ever you shopped in Cardiff

You could hear the Rugby supporters singing their support for their team :-D :-D

believe it Joy :-D :-D :-D :-D

;-) ;-)

I was kicked out of the 3 class choir in Junior school :-(


Age 7,

the teacher went along the lines listening to each of us sing .............

"you .......... out!"

about 6 of us had to go into one of the empty classrooms and be otherwise occupied during "choir time"


talk about giving a child a complex!

I know the feeling Sylvia :-( :-(

it's miserable, isn't it, Joy :-(

:-D :-D :-D

My voice is flat as a I pancake, it's sounds appalling, like scratching down a blackboard. But I have sung at a karaoke, people bought me drink to stop! My favourite is 'House of the Rising Sun'. My rendition is almost completely awful. It's better (or worse) after many pints.

I was so proud of Stray

when she sang the Snowman song in our town hall :-D :-D
