Karaoke and you
 

1) Do you own and use a karaoke system?

2) Are you a Filipino?

GFF Radio wants to know.

1. No, but I know someone who does. And I am capable of doing basic karaoke effects!

2. Yes.

1. Yes. :(

2. Yes. :(

It's a known fact every Filipino family owns a Magic Mic system.

Also, would it sound insane if I said my relatives in Texas actually knew the guy who did that "I am Your Brother" performance?

One whose family doesn't own or use a karaoke system, naturally! :(

♫ I planned each charted course
Each careful step along the byway
And more, much more than this
I did it my way ♪

I'm white and I do. Never played with it though, none of my white friends wanted to sing a long with me. Probably because they were afraid of my voice. It also came with really horrible default songs like Hanson, or something.

Are you counting owning Guitar Hero and a mic as karaoke, because that's essentially what it is?

I dunno, I think I'd have issues playing the original GH with a mic.

No, because "My Way" and "Wind Beneath My Wings" aren't Guitar Hero staples. Karaoke generally requires a different type of music.

What about "**-Eyed Girl," sung by annoyingly drunk men, and/or "STROKIN'"


I stroke it to the east
I stroke it to the west
I stroke it to the woman that
I love the best

What about SingStar or Lips then?

I spent most of New Years Eve drunkenly playing SingStar with a room full of lesbians. Admittedly no My Way but plenty of Take That and slightly more Pink than I was comfortable with.

Yeah, I own Singstar: ABBA. That has to be worse than or equal to owning a real karaoke machine.

I own that too!

(Cheers Qwarky!)

1. If you're including Rock Band, then yes. If LIPS is included in that, then yes as well.

2. No but, really, being "awesome" at karaoke regardless of race goes right out the window after a few Mai Thais anyway so... yeah...

1) Yes, and I'm talking about a real karaoke machine, not Rockband or Lips.

2) No, you guys know this.

1: Hell no. Although I'm not the worst singer ever, I am wise enough to know I'm neither the best. I wouldn't inflict my singing on one person, let alone a crowd, no matter how drunk they were.

2: No. But I've heard of the band Phillip Eno. Does this count?

1) Again, no, unless you count Rock Band and its various incarnations. Though I often go OUT for karaoke.

2) Most definitely not.

1. Yes, well, my family owns one.
2. No, I am Chinese.

1. No.

2. Yes.

Look, I just Karaoke when there's a family gathering at a family friend's house.

You're the person that was mentioned when this topic came up. Good to know you're living up to the stereotype.

Just keepin' the stereotype alive and kicking, y'know.

Yes & Yes.

But I guess I'm a bit late for that.

Yes, a real one (that I don't use much) actually I think I have two or three karaoke systems somewhere around here. :eagletear: I play SingStar and (recently) UltraStar as well. :p

No... not a Filipino (or Asian).
