On a visit to Florida many years ago, one night we entered a bar in kissamee .We didn`t know, but it was a karaoke night, and I have to say it was very entertaining !!! The people who performed there (americans ) were generally excellent in there almost perfect impersonations of the artists they were copying.... but there attitude to karaoke was completely different to the majority of UK or Turkish bars.
They certainly dont over indulge in the booze. They are not encouraged to perform by there boozy mates so they can have a giggle.
There are no signs outside the bars saying " sing three songs and have a free drink " (Turkish resorts )
Sorry, but in Turkey ( Hisaronu ) to sit in a bar listening to some p***head or someone who thinks he should be on X factor, or a couple of p***ed girls MURDERING[
!] the original recordings is not my idea of a night out. OK the `odd` man/ woman might do justice to the original but be fair the majority of karaoke around Hisaronu is someone doing a crap version of `my way` or `I will survive` Ughhhh
I have to say though that the Michael Jackson impersonator with a mask on miming to his music ( THE JACKSON BAR ) now closed down, used to do a thoroughly entertaining evening, with one or two turkih acts as well .
