Many thanks. Doing links, is a sore trial to me.

Can't stand radio 1, all the "music" sounds the same and it's just noise. Absolute Radio is my station of choice for music, and Radio 4 in the mornings. I can't listen to any "breakfast" shows on any of the commercial stations as they are all of the "zoo" format which basically consists of 3 or 4 people talking rubbish, interjecting with fake guffaws and hilarity and the odd song. Why people listen to that drivel first thing in the morning every day is beyond me. But each to their own.

We would seem to be fairly on the same page -- me more greatly so, than you. So far as it's within my control, I eschew radio totally; and television. Call me weird; but I've discovered long since, that I don't enjoy being yattered at -- and still less, music'd at -- out of the ether.

I don't think its to be taken that seriously - someone doing karaoke isn't auditioning for "The Voice" or whatever.

Agreed. Which is actually why I prefer karaoke to open mic: More of an atmosphere that, if you totally screw up, it doesn't matter.

Had the misfortune to have a night out in Blackpool. Went in several around Talbot Road, where the tram lines meet Wilko's, and all were at best a quarter full (no surprise midweek) bur every one had someone wailing to a tune I've heard 1000 times before and don't want to hear it again, even by the professionals.

What makes someone who can't sing stand up and wail a "tune" at everyone apart from alcohol??

A genuine talent contest, maybe with musicians performing THEIR OWN work would be a great evening. But I thought people spending all night staring into their i-phone was the death of Karaoke. Clearly not!

Rant finished, over and out.

Would this be Ma Kellys opposite Wilkos? - they have caberet on there 7 days a week too and its very popular.

As for why people like to do karaoke? Cos they like to sing and have fun when they are out

Not only am I "musically dead" as a friend once described it -- I'm totally hopeless at giving links in my posts. Anyway, Google Ulysses S. Grant and what he was like as regards music...

There's a place for everything: I can enjoy karaoke, live music and jam sessions. As well as jukebox, background music and no music at all. Just go with what you prefer at the time.
