Karoke Tuesday 4th December by Anastasia Beaverhausen

So this is the Tuesday blog, well let me first say hello and welcome to the blog its going to be a view of the night from many different people. Tuesdays has always been fun and there is often people trying new things some work some don’t but its all about the entertainment and not so much about the talent, Mind you I have to say that there are a lot of talented people in on a Tuesday and the diversity of the music amazes me.

As I am sure you know most Karaoke Nights are a load of people only singing what they know and never try new things. I must admit that it can become tiresome the 80’s has gone so lets see some new things. Having said that there are loads of songs in there that people do not normally sing and this adds something different to the night.

Lets be honest here if we could all sing like Leona Lewis how boring would Karaoke be and lets be a little geeky here and say what the definition of Karaoke is

ka·ra·o·ke /
–noun
an act of singing along to a music video, esp. one from which the original vocals have been electronically eliminated.

No where in there does it say how good or bad you have to be. The worrying part is that the people who take it so seriously seem to think that they can bully their karaoke beliefs onto others. The first Example of this was last Tuesday when a fight nearly broke out in the pub and this has never happened on a Tuesday and we have been going for three years now.

I don’t want to sound too negative as we have had some great times down at the Birches Head Hotel and this is down to the DJ the one and only Andy King. Often the night can be destroyed by the DJ and as yet this has never happened. If I am honest I would have to say that the only reason that I still go there is down to him as the prices in the pub are a little high. I do not want to get into a moaning thing here about pub prices as I have never worked in a pub so can not say how much things cost to run or why they are set at the price they are it’s just I feel they are a little high. We sometimes get some free chips which is never a bad thing so I can put up with higher prices if there is sometimes a little treat for us all.
