Had the urge late one Friday night to do karaoke. A local recommended the Grapevine to us. It's a small bar and was VERY loud. I don't mind loud spots most of the time, but all the "Dilly Dilly" bros were pushing my limits.
Now it does have a fun atmosphere as everyone singing along and cheering the person that just sang. I picked a song as soon as we got there. It well over an hour and I was still waiting to sing my song. I wasn't too concerned as it was a different person each time, but then shortly after there were people singing for the second and third time before I got to go up.
Sure, yeah people like to see the cute young girl and tight black dress, but give everyone a chance to have fun and sing...this is not American Idol.
Maybe I made the mistake of not tipping the DJ. I don't feel that I should pay to sing.
