The Unsung Heroes of Karaoke: A Field Guide

It’s a multi-billion dollar industry without celebrities. The best act in town might be your mail carrier, yoga instructor, or even that shy coworker one desk over. It’s karaoke, where nonprofessional singers can externalize their inner superstars with the simple but heroic act of singing in public.

The Unsung Heroes of Karaoke: A Field Guide

2:19 "Common People" is actually my go to karaoke song ... it has everything. Lines that you can whisper while looking to that cute girl at the bar, it has good commentary and you can just lose your shit in the second half of the song and it never (!) fails to make the crowd dance, even if people don't know the song! It has everything!

You guys missed out on one more unsung hero of karaoke, namely my type: the instant regret singer. Peer pressured into taking the microphone, at a random song they're unfamiliar with, this unsung hero instantly regrets having recklessly exposed their complete lack of talent or preparation for singing in public, wrestling with their dignity between a tearful breakdown, bouts of silence, and sudden bursts of imperceptible mutterings, until the song is finally over, and the painful search for scapegoats begins.
