Sing Shot


How could I possibly not know about this? This is, without a doubt, the coolest thing I've stumbled upon on the web in a long time.

While I was Google-ing "Al Stewart karaoke," I came up with the hit for Singshot. You can record your own versions of songs and there are contests and voting and it's like karaoke night right on your desktop.

I sang my own version of "Yesterday" which was horrendous, but, the beauty of karaoke is that, every version I listened to was at least as awful as mine. There are also some very good singers out there.

Man, I need to open me up a karaoke/sushi bar. Yeah, that's the ticket.

If you change sushi to boudin, I'm there.

I would like to work at your karaoke bar, please, whether it's boudin or sushi. Thanks. :)

Pokerboss - I don't see shy I couldn't serve boudin sushi.

Sophmom (parts 1 and 2) - Why don't we open our boudin/sushi/karaoke bar in the French Quarter and we could work for Brad and Angie, too?

Oh yeah, boudin!!!! Curses!! Now I'm craving some... LOL

I never could get into the karaoke thing though, bad things happen when I sing hehe

Laurie said...

Se7en - I like watching others do the karaoke, good or bad.

Laurie, this is the coolest thing EVER! You rock! I am so signing up. And so is Grimm, whether he likes it or not.

Laurie said...

Laura - Hahahahaha! Don't let the bastards get you down. Buy more speakers. Buy some monster speakers!!

Leslie - Please, please, please let me know if you guys make any recordings. As soon as I buy a new microphone, I'll post a truly horrible rendition of something on this site. I want to hear everybody singggggg!!!!!!!!

Steve said...

Well, she's heard me sing and she's still game. Go for it, people!

Laurie- if you add tapas and bubble tea to the sushi and boudin, I'm in!

Steve said...

Okay, now I'm mad. I know SingShot is in beta, but it went all buggy on me. If it happens to you, check out www.ksolo.com. It's a similar site, but they have songs by America!

Adela said...

Got my speakers working. Those recordings are terrible!! And they've kept me up until 1 in the morning!

You do realise that life as I know it has been forcibly changed by my wife after reading this post.

I hold you fully responsible.

I think I speak for the group when I say we'd love for you to post your version of "Yesterday" here.

Laurie said...

Pokerboss - Yes, I demand links.

Susan - Yes! It shall be international!!!

Laurie's International Karaoke Sushi Boudin Tapas Bar...y'all come back now, hear?

Pokerboss - I'll check it out.

Laura - Sort of like a train wreck, isn't it? But, by God, they're singing their little hearts out.

Grimm - Glad I could enrich your lives. That's what you meant, right?

Larry - Actully, Yesterday was pretty rough. I'm going for 99 Red Balloons as soon as I buy a new microphone. I promise to post it.

I don't need the karaoke; just slip me the sushi. Lots of it.

Adela said...

You can have my sushi.

Yes, they're sincere!

I'm dying to know: are there any karaoke clubs in Beaumont?

Laurie said...

Old Horsetail - Will do!

Laura - No karaoke bars. Some clubs have a karaoke night but it's always on some odd weeknight. I'm tell you, I could make a million!
