Thread: Karaoke. Serious Business

Karaoke Killing

Karaoke rage is not unheard of in Asia. There have been several reported cases of singers being assaulted, shot or stabbed mid-performance, usually over how songs are sung.

Frank Sinatra’s “My Way” has reportedly generated so many outbursts of hostility that some bars in the Philippines now do not offer it on the karaoke menu anymore. In Thailand this year, a gunman shot eight people dead after tiring of their endless renditions of a John Denver tune.

From another newspaper:

In Seattle last year, a woman with an apparent aversion for Coldplay attacked a singer who had just embarked on a rendition of Yellow.

Wow O_o
And I thought Karaoke was all about fun. But it's dead serious.

I'M NEVER GONNA SING FOR YOU ANYMORE, CHUU.



Please don't kill me.

indeed.

Now I can't sing Celine Dion's songs with all my heart anymore

unless I'm with my ASIAN gangs

Whatever happened to getting up and leaving the room? Or asking the person to stop?

*sigh*

one of the comments I saw in there. I really want to know why couldn't they just talk it through. too drunk?

Hey, that's racism! Someone ban this chink!

I understand drunk driving may end up in accidents... but drunk singing may end up in violence

This is the main reason I don't go to Karaoke clubs. I don't think I would do well in prison.

yup, too bad those retards have not managed to have your epiphany yet and been made aware that karaoke will mean other people butchering songs you like, 'cause everyone who sings frank sinatra is not frank sinatra and the stereo is your best bet

*sigh*
