Song Sung Karaoke

American Idol winner Hicks - Is it a shame to be a "karaoke singer"?

"Do I Make You Proud?" is a single hit song by Taylor Hicks. And he says it makes him feel like a "karaoke singer".

Is it a shame to be known as a "karaoke singer"? After all, most of the star singers started with singing karaoke songs. So what's the big fuss? Does it make one feel so small for being only a "karaoke singer"?

Someone has to start somewhere and if you don't look back from where you came from, the fall is not far behind. Ironically Hicks' self-composed song that he preferred to be known for, 'The Fall', is one that seems to be an omenous title.

Far-Fetched Impact of Karaoke

Reuters in Hanoi has noted yesterday that in Vietnam, where karaoke is not only recreational but business etiquette as well, failing to show your talent can cost you dearly.

Pioneer news reported that state oil company officials were asked to provide reports for not singing karaoke during a contract-signing ceremony last Saturday. The paper reported that at least eight officials were facing suspension but no one has been laid off yet according to a company official but the issue raised to these officials was primarily on not joining in collective activities.
