Karaoke

Karaoke was my worst nightmare when I was in Brazil. I lived there for two years and I thought I would never touch a karaoke machine after hearing what some people did to those things down there. Usually it was somebody who was a little drunk, to start with. Then I have this theory that maybe only one or two Brazilians has a sense of pitch. So as we walk past these bars and hear some wailing and yelling... I had a hard time not plugging my ears.

But to my surprise, last night I was holding the mic and singing Billy Joel's "Just the Way You Are" with my brother. He couldn't hit some of the high notes, so I had to take over, but he knew the sax solo in the middle, so he sang that. We make a great team. But that doesn't mean I like Karaoke. Even Justin Timberlake is better than karaoke.
