YSB – UYE – Karaoke Like A Star!

Sooo much fun!!! Another excellent UYE that kicked the Official YSB events!!! Great people, super voices, too much fun. We loved it and will miss you all. :)

This was the perfect ending to my trip to Nashville (no trip is truly complete without karaōke).
It was great to hang out with my fellow YSB Unilocalers one last time before my trip home Monday. I was also completely blown away from Victoria’s opera-​trained voice on soulful ballads… like, damn. I wish I could sound like THAT.
Had a great time, overall! :)

Music! Madness! Mayhem! KARAOKE!
SITREP
When several people were asking on the «Nashville Talk» threads about, «What’s the Karaōke scene like in Nashville?», local Nashville Elite Squad Unilocalvinity Sheena T. came forth with LOTS of information for us Unilocalers! [And unfortunately for her, but very fortunately for US, Nashville Community Manager (CM) Marcia M. lassooed our dear Sheena to put together a Karaōke night.
And she DID! Tonight! At Lonnie’s Western Room in Printers Alley in downtown Nashville! And it was so much fun!
GREAT CROWD
And Karaōke is one of those totally random endeavors that is totally depending on the people at the location which can change night to night, even hour to hour. But the chemistry was definitely at Lonnies tonight!
LOGISTICS
Tonight there was no cover, but there was a «soft» two drink minimum. However, the Karaōke DJ ladies are not paid and only make what they get in tips. So if you tip the DJs decently, there is no pressure to drink… a lot. ;)
SINGING TALENT!
What an incredible bunch of Unilocalers! So many with the gift of great sounding pipes (NOT including me, but I gave it my all).
Just about everyone stepped up to the plate and sang — here are some fun highlights of what we got to experience last night:
(1) Offspring, anyone? (Sheena Rocks it!)
(2) Gloria Gaynor, anyone? (Victoria should make singing her profession!!!)
(3) Anna Nalick’s «Breath, just breath» beautifully sung! (Angela was so beautiful & adorable!)
(4) I THINK it’s an Alanis Morrissette tune, but I don’t think we could hear her since she wasn’t singing into the microphone — what you hear is our Unilocal contingent of gals singing behind us to keep the song going. However, the gal «singing» wins points for being VERY entertaining to watch! (I honestly don’t know who this gal is!) :D
KUDOS
Major props to Sheena T. for putting together such a fun fun night of Karaōke enjoyment for all of us out-​of-​towners whom descended upon the fair City of Nashville with a pent up desire to sing to our hearts content.
Both Sheena and Lonnie’s were well up to the task!
THE LOWDOWN
Karaōke doesn’t get any better than this in Nashville!
