Kara-oke, but I am not ok.

I dislike going to Karaoke. This is an “in” thing ever since I came back from the States in 1992. Most of the people who sings, sing so loud, out of tune and it is always smoky, cramped up in a room. I don't mean to boast but, for a music major and someone who teach a choir, I find it very irritating. By screaming they spoil the voice box and hurt their throat. If you want to enjoy and pay so much, one should sing the correctly and perhaps, practise and practise and hear the song over and over again. This is not asking you to be like the professionals but to make it more enjoyable. If not, you might as well go to the streets and scream, like those wild cats at the garbage cans or be thrown a shoe or rotten egg, like what happened to Garfleid.
