Just When You Thought Karaoke Was Forgotten
Is Karaoke passé? Apparently not in Asia. Don’t even think of organizing a karaoke party for a group under thirty here in the US or Canada. I don’t mean thirty people. I mean thirty year olds. Aim for the Karaoke crowd around fortyish.
Another good spin on a karaoke party – making sure everybody has adequate spirits in them so that they loosen up – is to select commonly known songs but in a different language. Yes you can sing Abba’s Dancing Queen in Spanish if you rent a Spanish pack. Dean Martin or Michael Jackson in Mandarin or Vietnamese is also a hit as long as they have the English spelling on the screen (My Mandarin Chinese Pictograms computational system isn’t working very well with eight beers in me, let alone none).
