Got to believe in Magic Sing
Videoke singing has been the entertainment showcase/past time for most people in my opinion. It is entertainment for all occasions.
It gives you the rush, relaxes your nerves. It also makes you confident about yourself, even if you can't croak a tune. It is also an outlet to vent out your frustrations. You sing, you scream, you learn (Like an Alanis' song). I have also observed that it is a way to get to know new friends.
One time, I tagged along a British intern to join me and my friends in IO for some singing and he looked very much excited about it. "I haven't sang videoke for quite some time," he said. Apparently, videokes are not that ubiquitous in the UK, unlike here in the city where every street corner has a videoke slot machine.

Videoke singing also made me discovered some danceable tunes from the 80s. It brings back fond memories of my childhood. Hits from Swingout sisters, Carly Simon, Queen, Dionne Warwick, Madonna (Like a Virgin era) are my favorites.

I guess, I was their party clown that night.
