Every Amateur Singer Loves a Night Singing Karaoke
There is nothing quite like a good night of karaoke. With friends or without, singing like no one's listening will make for a night you will never forget. There are only a couple of components to the perfect karaoke night: a good karaoke bar, fantastic songs, and private rooms so you can sing like no one's listening. Unfortunately, a few rough songs or a sleazy bar can make it very difficult to have the karaoke night of your dreams. Here are a few tips to make sure your karaoke night can be as exciting as any karaoke party that you see in the movies. You don't have to have any experience in planning or in karaoke nights to have the time of your life, because this article explains it all.
Finding a good Karaoke bar
There are things that your party should look for when looking for the bar to host their perfect night. Firstly, you should figure out if the bar is a bar first and a karaoke bar second or a karaoke bar first. If the bar does karaoke a couple of nights a month, it might still host a great night, but you may not have all the bells and whistles a karaoke bar does.
Also, look at ratings and reviews. These can give great insight into the types of songs and music the bar offers. If you only really know the hit pop songs on the radio, you don't want to go to a bar that only offers 80s power ballads.Variety is important
Finally, consider if you want a private room or if you don't care. If you aren't going to have fun singing in front of a room of people, don't plan to sing in front of a room of people. If you think you could have fun anywhere, don't limit your options.
Great Karaoke Songs
A great karaoke song depends on your taste in music. The songs are probably the most important part of the experience. For this reason, make sure when you're going into the night that you know there are songs you're excited to sing.
Try to assess what kinds of songs you know the best. Do you know the oldies from the eighties? Are you all about the current pop songs on the radio? There's no wrong answer, but you should consider it before you pick a karaoke spot. A lot of karaoke bars specialize, so keep that in mind.
It's not just about your favorite songs, either. Think about what songs you want to belt at the top of your lungs; think Chandelier by Sia, Don't Stop Believing by Journey and any ballad from any popular musical, ever. These types of songs are going to keep the spirit of karaoke night up. The energy of these songs will keep everyone going strong throughout the night.
Private Karaoke Rooms
Private karaoke rooms are great for some groups and just an extra charge for others, and it is best to figure out which category you fall into before you leave for the night.
Private rooms are great for first-timers or people who are just more shy about their singing. They can be a great way to have fun, even if you're more introverted. They cost a little more, but it's better to spend a few extra bucks than to feel uncomfortable the whole night long.
On the other hand, if you don't mind belting your heart out in front of a room of strangers, there's no need for the extra expense. Especially if you draw energy from the excitement of others, private rooms may make the night more boring for you. There's something to be said about letting loose in front of strangers. It's invigorating; it will certainly spice up the night.
