Well, let's face it. A karaoke singer doesn't actually NEED a vast repository of knowledge, do they?
And to think I have attained this level of success in my life retired at 53 free of all debt by choice knowing absolutely nothing about the recording process, cables, live sound, and yet climbing to levels of major performing venues for tens of thousands of people if not millions over 15 years in venues some dream of playing in for numbers some would freeze out in front of the band performing to. Then selling stacks of self titled souvenir CDs of my own music worldwide while traveling to places earning sometimes "stupid money" in order to retire from real work..............
solely from humble beginnings in a lowly Karaoke bar in San Diego in 1984. I wish I could hate and diminish Karaoke like you do But.........in my case I applaud it.
you must really hate Karaoke. Those no nothing talentless truck drivers making $200-300 a night allowing YOUR tip payers to be the entertainment and those pesky bar owners who feel they are MORE entertaining than a similarly paid One Man Band whos main tool is now ancient technology.....
I understand your bitterness......Get over it.
But DIKI remember this...your buddies here may enjoy your constant yet pitiful attempt using Karaoke to insult sharing the same vitriol and discontent for those talentless tire changers who routinely steal your work....(which is the REAL insult to your profession)
But hear this Karaoke will NEVER be construed as an insult in my life....I owe my current place in life to Carlos and Charleys in San Diego and those who ran the firs Karaoke Show in the US (which BTW was featured a full page in Time magazine)..
Try something else Sparky. Maybe diss my mother or something more juvenile.
