When you go to karaoke, do you/your group usually sing seriously, with your heart, give it your best or do you sing as to make fun of the songs in a playful way?

    Depends on the song and my current mood.

    Like I don’t think I would ever pour my heart and soul into a Bloodhound Gang song.

      You absolutely should. Shaggy is another excellent choice. Or be that person who sings the Macarena.

        I’m certainly not going to be able to sing with my whole heart and soul while also maintaining an erection. Singing takes a lot of oxygen.

    Good singing is fun for everyone. Bad singing is funny for everyone. Mediocre singing is close enough for everyone to know what you tried to do, and far enough away for everyone to know you missed. I’m a mediocre singer, I lean into my weaknesses in karaoke.

      I’ve managed to clear out a bar with my bad singing. It’s not always funny for everyone.

    Depends on the mood and the song. I usually try to sing the best I could. But occasionally I try to be playful.

    It has been a very very long time since I went to karaoke, but I went a lot when I was young.

    I usually try to sing well (even though I’m bad at it) However I also like to choose satiric songs which

    So a bit of both worlds for me, I suppose

    I typically am obnoxious (think singing ALL 5 min and 12 seconds of bad company’s feel like making love in the most over the top way possible) and my friends heckle me. The heckling part is important.

    Usually we sing with our hearts and even if we don’t know the lyrics, we just sing anyway for the fun of it 😅

    the usual format is serious and fast songs then slowly moves to somewhat serious ballads and drunken slurred lyrics.

    all in good time.

    Last time it was serious. It is questionable if it was actually karaoke, though, as they did not have the soundtrack in the system, so we just sang a capella on that otherwise karaoke event.

    I would rather be dipped in a vat of molten lava than go to karaoke, so… Sarcastically, I guess?

    I’ll add my own experience: in uni, we’d go in groups where half sung from their heart and the other half (I was in this one) was mostly sarcastic…I always wondered if it was because each subgroup was from a different culture (sincere singing: friends from asian country(ies), insencere: friends from european countries).
