It's impossible to describe how much the average pub Karaoke organiser hates classically trained singers. Because we are wankers.
"Hey, got any Couperin?" "This arrangement of Amigos Para Sempre isn't historically accurate to the 1992 Barcelona rendition" "Can we transpose this Barry Manilow song to Werckmeister III temperament? I have a bach recital and I don't want to ruin my pitch sense" "I know there's already been a rendition of Phantom of the Opera tonight by a beloved regular, but we really just want to make them feel sad about their talent"
Hahaha I just want to not embarrass myself. It's a fun activity, especially when drunk, but I'm absolutely terrible at it. I've heard others say to pick a favorite song to do over and over again that your voice is good with, but I don't know what song that would be either, so maybe I'll start to see if I can get anything from all that text and practicing on my commute ๐
