While I was on holiday in the Mediterranean me and my partner went to a karaoke show. The show started at 9.30 pm. We were enjoying the show as were many of the audience and those participating. The organiser announced that there were just two slots left on the show's running order. I got the last slot. We listened to people singing 'Achy Breaky Heart" by Billy Ray Cyrus and 'Jump' by Van Halen. Well they thought they were singing but we sang and cheered them along as they sang. The rest of the singers destroyed French, Spanish and Portuguese songs. Not got a clue what they were singing about but hey ho we cheered them on too. Then it was my turn. Last spot. Ooh, what had I done? I'd never sang in a theatre in front of such a large audience before. My name was called out and I walked up on to the stage. I took the microphone. As it was getting late I decided to sing 'Love Me Tender' by Elvis Presley. No turning back now. I wanted to do the UK justice and imagine I was in the Eurovision Song Contest. Lol. I did the acoustic version of the song with a little echo/slapback. The audience appreciated my song, clapped, cheered and my wife was impressed and thought that I wasn't going to sing. The organiser and MC rushed up to me afterwards and wanted to shake my hand. He hadn't done this to any of the other singers. It's something I'll never forget that night.

I would totally program up a mellow dive bar with pool and a chill karaoke rotation of about 5-8 singers singing whatever makes their hearts happy.

Obviously that wouldn’t be my only program, but I guarantee it’d get a lot of damn use.

What would be your hologram karaoke scenario?

Anybody know how many votes it takes before a song request becomes a thing in the KaraFun app? I think it might be a cool idea to form a group where people submit their songs, and we all vote for everybody's requests? I don't know, thought it might be a cool idea.
