Why you might ask?

Because everybody and their brother thinks they just HAVE to sing it. And NONE of them can sing it worth a damn.

It is truly painful to listen to, I tell ya.

I think a law should be passed.

I was once forced into a contest at a party where I had to put on a pair of headphones and sing along to "Kiss", a capella...so okay, I was a bit tipsy, I was like, "what the hell"...when I was done, I took off the headphones and everyone's mouths had hit the floor. When I asked what was going on, my friend said that I had aped Prince's falsetto perfectly...goes to show what too much gin and 16 years of listening to that song will do, no?

Um..thats the fun part of karoake...hearing people who are not able to sing do the songs. Who wants to see some star search type people trying to be badasses?

Dont know what the japanese were appologising for Pearl Harbour, its Karaoke they should be appologising for lol hehe

Karaoke should be banned!

actually the most horribly memorable rendition of a prince song (if it could be said to resemble a prince song in any way) that i ever heard at a karaoke was a stumbling, drunken rendition of "little red corvette," dedicated to a barmaid at rick's in key west.

I've done Kiss at a karaoke bar, after making the people I was with buy me a beer. Yeah, way up in the high register. Then I got up agian and did I Want Your Sex, and when I hit that low note at the end, the host was like, "that was the same guy who sang Kiss?" It was cool.

Had you EVER heard Rio do this song at Karoake, you'd immediately change your mind...

100 bad renditions were worth hearing him do it once!

Oh

My

God

tears!!!

Rio

The worst is when they get to "baby I know times are changing..."

I completely cringe when they try to scream in desperation.

Oh well, I can't sing anyway!
