The Usual Suspects: Karaoke Regulars at a Bar Near You The Bait & Switcher The Disillusioned Diva The Microphone Hog The Voice Coach The Classic Virgin The Underachiever
Every Karaoke club has them. Everyone who does karaoke has seen them. Everybody can name one or two. They are the personalities that make up the crazy quilt that is the karaoke club scene. Just as every classroom has a clown, every teacher a pet, every karaoke bar has its regulars, and they come in many flavors.
KaraokeTraveler will embark on a brave journey to catalog and classify these characters. These descriptions will help the novice karaoke singer navigate the karaoke scene with skill and cunning. You karaoke pros, we hope these descriptions give you both vindication –as you recognize these characters in others or perhaps yourself- and the sense that the Karaoke community is with you as you navigate through the karaoke hordes, and wait in turn, for that next song.

"These people are real characters and are deeply entranced by the sound of their own voice reverberating through the microphone."
"Sometimes they offer advice while you are singing, like motioning for you to sing louder, flapping their arms like a drunken symphony conductor."
". . . you can't help but feel a sense of pride, like baby's first day at kindergarten."
" You must rip these tight-asses apart or vanquish them forever from your karaoke circle."
