Can anyone explain the Filipino love of singing on a Karaoke:Erm:
My wife of 5 years loves nothing more than having her mates over and belting out various songs for hours on end. Its not my thing, but when visiting the in laws in P.I we would have a bar b que and they would always hire a karaoke machine.
Must admit the singing ability of most Filipinos is FAR better that most Brits you hear in any pub on a Saturday night.:)

I guess this has been part of the filipino culture. It's like in every gathering, parties or any occasions, it won't be complete without karaoke singing. I guess it makes the party more fun, so you can get to enjoy the singing prowess of those gifted and can mock the hell out of those who suck so bad which we normally refer to as "frustrated singers" (i'm one of them) :icon_lol::icon_lol::icon_lol::icon_lol::icon_lol:

I think its great for parties, and i've always wondered why we haven't seen more Filipinos entering programmes over here like the X Factor, coz the Filipinos I've heard sing are great:cwm12:

The scoring system on most of those machines is rigged,I sing like an angel,or Ronan Keating,or George Michael yet normally get between 30-40% :Erm:But some of the drunks I saw singing at a singalong a few weeks ago were getting 90+% :Erm:Yet they sounded like cats caught under the wheel of a moving jeepney :Erm:
