Karaoke

Karaoke - singing to prerecorded music of popular songs....live, in front of other people - and I LOVE it. The most amazing part is, I can't sing a note!
This photo was taken on my last trip to Punta Cana in the Dominican last November. It was a humid night. We had just finished dinner at a Tex Mex Restaurant and decided that the piano bar where they have Karaoke would be great fun. I admittedly cannot sing, which in my opinion makes it SOOO much more fun. I especially get a kick at how everyone cheers extra hard for you when you can't sing too. It's like they're thinking "Wow, that poor guy who can't sing has got guts". Anyways, I was the only one who got up from our group. You can't pick it out in the photo, but I strayed from my usual Karaoke tune, "Dream, Dream, Dream" by the Everley Brothers and decided to sing "Faith", by George Micheal, performing under my stage name, Yanick. I know the song by heart but I looked at the screen most of the time, because although I can get up and sing a tune, I find it hard to face the crowd...what would Freud say about that I wonder?
