Are you heading to a party and thinking of a good idea to cheer the mass out? Are you a shy individual with no music talent at all? Are you a bad singer who likes to show off and have fun? If so, you might be looking for some good karaoke advices for bad singers and beginners.

But hey, you can also be a smart one knowing some facts about karaoke before you start your shining performance:

Let’s first begin with some fun facts. You probably do not know the origins of the word “karaoke.” Karaoke is a Japanese word which can be translated to something like empty singing with an orchestra (kara-empty, oke-orchestra). Karaoke was “invented” in the seventies by Daisuke Inoue who made a first karaoke machine so that he could “teach people how to sing.” The other reason Daisuke invented karaoke is that, as he says, he was the worst musician ever, and while playing drums at a local bar in Kobe he wanted to make his life easier by creating a machine that could do the work for him. Back then he couldn’t have dreamed that his invention would become one of the most popular entertainment devices.

Karaoke are a prefect thing if you want to come over the fears of showing off in public. Especially because the atmosphere around any karaoke night or party involving karaoke is cheerful and relaxing (and even more so as the time passes and the amount of remaining alcohol decreases), and you are surrounded by friends and friendly people in general.

On the other side, if you have no socializing problems, and are a really bad singer you are on a good way of becoming the main showman at the party you are attending.

Whichever of the above you are, if you have no music talent whatsoever you must check out the 16 Best Karaoke Songs for Bad Singers.
