I experienced my first night of karaoke about 2 months ago with Andrew and Jennifer. Listening wasn't as painful as I thought it would be. In fact, I enjoyed it a lot. I found myself very drawn to sing, but my professional performer side couldn't bear the thought of getting up there without any rehearsal (pathetic I know). I've been to karaoke night a few times since always promising that I'm going to sing... always chickening out. So it's gotten to the point where I'm actually spending work hours looking for songs to sing so I can rehearse a bit before I next end up at karaoke night...
Somehow I think I'm killing the entire spirit of karaoke. May the karaoke gods smite me down and wipe this anally obsessive smirk from my face!!

because there’s nothing that amuses me more than hearing your pathetic opinion
I swore I would never sing, then my 3 English friends took me out 3 days before I got married. 3 long island ice teas later, and they couldn't pry the microphones out of our hands.
We spent 3 hours singing ever Stones hit, Beetles, and Cliff Richards. We got a standing ovation at 3am and didn't pay for a drink all night :)
However, since that night I've never been to another karaoke.

I wouldn't know of course, but it's easier to sing karaoke when you've had a few "relaxers" or so I've been told.

Who would have ever though a spotlight-aholic like myself would get stage fright at karaoke?
