Hey, if you don't like it, don't go there. We don't want anybody hanging around who isn't having fun, anyway.

I have very little karaoke experience, but it's been loads of fun when I have attended/participated. No, it's not serious high-quality performance, but it's FUN -- assuming, of course, that one is with a group of friends and everyoneis suitably inebriated.

The most enjoyable karaoke session I've been to was part of a "younger-generation" wedding weekend earlier this year (where my older son was best man.) After separate bachelor and hen parties, the entire group met at a karaoke venue, aleady suitably sloshed. My favorite moment was witnessing my boy with his buddy the groom and a half-dozen others singing *all* the words (including all the Pips' background interjections) with Gladys Knight's version of "Midnight Train to Georgia" -- complete with enthusiastic but stumbling amateur-hour choreography. Hilarious! (Well, ya hadda be there, I guess.)

I think Flattop's posts (above) capture the spirit very nicely.
