Bump my own thread. I stumbled into one of these the other night and all we did was be baffled by people taking karaoke seriously, like it's American Idol at some [censored] sports bar on a Saturday night. WTF? So goddamned weird.

what do you mean by seriously? were they mad b/c people didn't applaud or something like that?

No, what I meant is, they were seriously out there crooning like it they were lowered onto the stage at the Grammys. There would be some polite applause when they finished their song, but nobody was over the top and nobody was spectacular.

stinkypete's post about getting drunk enough to not care and just having fun with it makes sense, but not only were people not evidently drunk, but they appeared to be specifically in the bar for karaoke night, and their chance to croon to the anonymous masses.

Meh, judging by the responses in this thread I'm apparently the only one amazed by this phenomenon.
