So this is one of my top 5 karaoke songs ever, that’s what makes this hilarious and disturbing.
This korean boy is not in a sexy Santa outfit like Mariah (thank god). But hey, he’s got that awesome accent. It’s worth a watch to hear about “magic laindeer”.

So I’m starting a new endeavor called the Infinite Garage Project. I’m going to sell 35 years of my parents (and my) belongings over the next 365 days, out of our giant 3 car garage. More of an explanation here.
We accumulated a ton of crap over the years, including karaoke Laserdiscs and players. But I’m [...]

My BFF Emily told me of a transcendent experience. KARAOKE NAILS on Mott and Grand in Chinatown, NY. I don’t think it happens daily, but this one Chinese salon hosts Karaoke Nails day, where their tagline (I kid you not) is “Harmonize While Your Nails Dry.” GENUIS.

Singer of the Week: John Park

January 20th, 2010

Shania is the new loopy Paula. She likes his lips and “bottom end.”
Note all the remarks about how surprised they are that this hunky Asian boy can sing. Do they think we’re all FOB-sounding like Daniel Dae Kim on Lost?

*Addendum* Joan in Taipei let me know that the reason they were so surprised was because [...]

If you’re wondering whatever happened to Steve Perry, he had a falling out with Journey and stated in 2005 that he would never sing with them again. Which is his loss and Arnel Pineda’s gain. Pineda was a poor musician from Manila until Journey band members discovered him on YouTube, flew him to the states, [...]

I’m glad my parents immigrated to the US because if I were a mainlander, I wouldn’t be able to enjoy singing all sorts of lewdness. No 50 Cent, Yin Yang Twins, or Samantha Fox for me. According to a recent article,
176 karaoke places in Chongqing has installed the karaoke content management system, once someone selects [...]

It’s no secret that Hello Kitty has a cult-like following amongst the fairer sex. I should know, since I was that annoying girl in class who had to have everything Kitty: sticker albums, calculator, retractable pencil cases, colored pencil lead, multi-colored pens, an extensive eraser collection, a sleeping bag, suitcase… you name it, I had [...]
