Turns out it was fine! It wasn't what I was expecting and way more fun. More like a singalong than a concert. The words were on the projector at the front of the room and people just got given the mikes and sang where they were sitting on the bench desks. There were 3 mikes so no-one was singing alone and everyone who knew the song joined in. I only knew about a quarter of the songs but that was fine as I had a slight sore throat anyway. I got handed the mike a couple of times (for songs from musicals) and chose a couple (we texted them in), one of which I got a mike for (Rather be) and one I didn't (I Will Survive, which everyone totally got in to!) And I thought up enough songs to have some to nominate next time we do it. So all good Maneera  - shows my musical ignorance that I don't know your 2 recommended songs! crutcher on "Karaoke" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/karaoke#post-1520442 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 18:12:20 +0000 crutcher 1520442@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Sing as long as you can...don't know the words, arms up in the air and dance...Mostly have fun, mostly look crazy to the kids, They will love you for it.. smile...

If you need a suggestion, I like to sing Demons by Imagine Dragons and The Nights by Avicii anne on "Karaoke" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/karaoke#post-1520144 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 08:16:07 +0000 anne 1520144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think you're right !! I feel a bit embarrassed about starting this thread.  It isn't a big deal or anything - just feeling like chatting and no-one close to me at work to chat with!

Astrid on "Karaoke" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/karaoke#post-1520120 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 05:33:05 +0000 Astrid 1520120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Just bow out gracefully if you don't know the song or the lyrics aren't shown. In my experience no one is going to force you to sing. anne on "Karaoke" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/karaoke#post-1520108 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 04:55:28 +0000 anne 1520108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Well I don't think we are using a machine - just a monitor with Youtube - but it isn't hard to find lyrics there! catgirl on "Karaoke" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/karaoke#post-1520103 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 04:43:13 +0000 catgirl 1520103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Sing what you want!  And don't the machines show the lyrics?  I once sang Only The Good Die Young at a karaoke party... yikes! anne on "Karaoke" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/karaoke#post-1520046 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 03:08:04 +0000 anne 1520046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/   I'm pretty much stressing with you guys here because I can't do it on Facebook because the people who will be there may see it… ;-) Tonight I am going to a Karaoke night organised by some students at church (ie this will be mostly attended by students and I will probably be the oldest by 15 years). I'd like to encourage them. I think we are just singing along with  youtube in a lecture theatre! I have done karaoke once in my entire life - in 1999 in Japan!! Now I like singing - I lead church singing regularly, was in the school choir and musical production, and tend to embarrass my children by bursting into song around the house when some phrase or situation reminds me of a song… But - my knowledge of popular/rock songs over my lifetime is woeful.  I don't know many lyrics and prefer to listen to talking on the radio. In 1999 I sang a Simon and Garfunkel song when we did karaoke because that was about all I knew! Recently however, with my daughters are into it, I have listened to quite a lot of current pop music and am looking up the lyrics and trying to study a couple of ones I quite like. Is this tragic? Should I just find something 40 years old or not sing at all?
