Karaoke - To Sing or Not To Sing
Karaoke singing is either something you love to do or probably the bane of your existence if you like to visit bars regularly and don't enjoy it. Karaoke was one of the activities that basically vanished with the co-vid 19 pandemic. It wasn't just because the bars were shut down either. Usually everyone shares a couple of different microphones that the karaoke DJ provides at the venue. Not exactly something people should have been doing to stop the spread of germs.
Don't just take my word for it that Karaoke can be fun and enjoyable. Here are some benefits of Karaoke according to an article at mixandmusic.com
8 Benefits of Karaoke
- Karaoke Relieves Stress -
Sometimes karaoke is stressful, but most of the time you are less stressed after you sing. Overall you leave that night feeling much lighter.
- Karaoke Improves Breathing -
This is a definite item. To sing, you need to be able to adjust how you breathe. Having to learn when to breathe in and out, carries over to your daily routine as well.
- Karaoke Shows Off Your Skills
- Karaoke Builds Confidence -
I've seen this in my friends and others. This is especially true when you get done pouring your heart out in a song, or you just finished a really difficult one to sing, and the bar starts to clap.
- Karaoke Creates Bonding Time -
I have made several friends through karaoke that I never would have had otherwise. My friend Jessica and I like to call them "our old men" as they are all considerably older than ourselves, and they are wonderful singers that we love. (I'm the last girl all the way to the right in the picture below. We need to get an updated picture because we have a couple more now. This one is pre-pandemic.)
- Hilarious Music Videos (i.e. wrong words for songs and more) -
I can't begin to tell you how many times I've looked at the screen and wondered where the heck they got the lyrics from for a particular song. One version of "Bad Romance" by Lady Gaga starts talking about babies or something instead of the real lyrics. Bizarre.
