Paid to Sing

I told you they started doing karaoke again across the parking lot from me on Friday and Saturday. Sautrday is supposed to be Name That Tune night...It could be.

But anyway, a girl came over tonight in a big hurry to sing a song. She said she was working over there tonight and had to get back. Under normal circumstances I would have made her wait. But I wanted her to hear my system and go back and compare it to the crap she is used to singing on.

So she sings and she was actually very good. So I hand her my calender and chit chat. She says she sings karaoke there on Fridays and she gets paid to sing.

She then had to leave but said she was coming back. She never did and I never got to ask her exactly who was paying her, the bar or the KJ.

This is what happens when you only attract screaming drunks. You have to pay good singers to stay there and abuse themselves singing on crap equipment.

Most KJs are suprised when someone sings good.

I'm surprised when somebody sucks.

That's the difference between me and my competition.

I've occasionally considered paying someone NOT to sing

Actually, a darts playing mate of mine is quite probably the worst singer on planet Earth.

My viewpoint is that God had to do something to make up for the rest of his character.

6 foot plus, good looking (so I'm told), natural sportsman (one of the best dart players in town, great golfer, football player, pool and snooker skills to die for) and chaps, when I say he has to step back from the wall when he goes to the toilet, you can understand my deep jealousy.

However, when he opens his mouth to sing on Karaoke, I can't help a huge s*** eating grin coming over my face.

He is tone deaf on a MONUMENTAL scale and you should see the looks of incredulity on the rest of the punters in the venue when he does his thing.

They actually think it's a wind up but I've known him for years and he's always been the same.

I would pay a weeks wages to get inside his head to hear what HE'S hearing, 'cause is ain't the same as everyone else.

MY KARAOKE HERO!

He gives it 100% every time he goes to torture a song and his Wind Beneath my Wings has to be experienced to be believed.
