Silly, fun, playful, goofy, weird, ironic, atonal: Karaoke, in theory, should be a good time for everyone, the furthest thing from a low-rent American Idol competition. Please, even if you can almost (emphasis on "almost") hit that high note in "I Will Always Love You," remember that you're still in a dive bar crooning through a cheap microphone to tinny backing tracks in front of Jello-shot drunkards from Winter and/or Audubon Park. And that's OK.
