my april karaoke set list

for personal friends of wongie, you all know the immense love i have for sitting in a room and belting out songs like i'm a pop star. the good thing is that in NYC most of the karaoke song lists are pretty updated and you end up trying out fun tunes that you never think would be a karaoke option. because of that (and the fact that we're shamelessly diverse and pretty darn good) we tend to go for marathon sessions every few weeks.

this was my set list last weekend:

amy winehouse - rehab (definitely MY song of the day!)
nelly furtado - say it right (great on the radio, boring to sing in real life)
ciara - promise (awesome no matter if you sing in your real voice or miss piggy falsetto. yeah, we grinded against the wall... not a pretty sight)
gomez - see the world (great tune, but kind of boring to sing)
regina spektor - fidelity (guess we didn't know the song as well as we tho-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ought)
hello goodbye - here in your arms (oh my god, this is so gay!)
beyonce - irreplaceable (ruined cause i couldn't find the right key)
beyonce - listen (ruined cause i'm really not a diva like i think i am)
robin thicke - lost without you (not bad for my first time)
omarion - ice box (i love this song, but the karaoke version didn't offer the chorus to sing along to, instead it was all 'ooh' and 'my baby' vocal acrobatics. i sucked!)
lily allen - smile (though we're not as cute as the original, it was still fun to sing to)
ghostface killah feat amy winehouse - you know i'm no good (totally sucked cause it was the rap version and i really wanted to do another winehouse tune properly)

travis - driftwood (classic that i've done before but just love belting to)
erasure - blue savannah (couldn't believe this song was on the list! i channelled my inner OTT with this)
erasure medley - victim of love / sometimes / stop / a little respect (yes, if i had more time it would have been an erasure only day)

of course there were still tunes from fall out boy, morissey, bloc party, the killers, the shins and even the kaiser chiefs that i was going to attempt, but we ran out of time and well... i'll just have to do those next week. i'm hooked i tell ya!
