What’s Your Karaoke Song?

According to some research done by the karaoke website Lucky Voice, Adele is 2011′s karaoke queen.  Her track “Someone Like You” accounted for 14 percent of all karaoke sung. And if people weren’t belting that one, 25 percent of them were singing some other Adele ditty. And not as well as she does, I presume. But that’s the fun of karaoke. The worse your pitch, the better. I have never ventured into Adele karaoke territory. Maybe next time, I’ll add “Rolling In The Deep” to my roster. I think I could kill it. After the jump, the Frisky staffers’ preferred karaoke song lists. Because everyone has a go-to karaoke song(s). What’s yours? [Daily Mail UK] Keep reading »

Two things we absolutely love: Joseph Gordon-Levitt and old-school Axl Rose. So imagine how much we loved Joseph Gordon-Levitt singing Kelly Clarkson’s “Since U Been Gone” in the style of Axl Rose Tuesday night on “Late Night With Jimmy Fallon.” “This guy does the best Axl Rose,” Jimmy said before challenging Joseph to sing a random song as the lead singer of Guns n’ Roses. Of course, Jimmy kicked things off by performing “Pumped Up Kicks” as David Bowie, and the two finished with a duet of Lady Gaga’s “Edge of Glory.” [Washington Post]

Evening Quickies: Jim Carrey Is A Creep

  • Jim Carrey performed a surprise karaoke tune at a New York City music club this weekend. You absolutely must watch his (slightly off-key) rendition of Radiohead’s “Creep.” Add him to the list of celebs who’ve been caught karaoking. [Gossip Cop]
  • I dare you to watch this without crying: lhese little kids sing “Empire State of Mind” in honor of the 10th anniversary of 9/11. [PopDust]
  • Kat Von D is reportedly losing hair from the stress of “L.A. Ink” being canceled and her on-again/off-again relationship with Jesse James. [Radar Online]

Evan Rachel Wood Kills A Justin Bieber Tune At A Karaoke Bar

 

Have you ever given into the urge to karaoke and then really regretted it afterward? Not Evan Rachel Wood. She was a karaoke superstar at a bar in Beijing recently and you’ll never guess what song she picked. She sang—no, killed (in a good way)—Justin Bieber‘s “U Smile.” Keep reading »

Jason Segel And John Krasinski Karaoke, Dance With Blow-Up Doll

I’m not so into the idea of bachelorette parties. But if I were ever to have one, I would want Jason Segel and John Krasinski to crash it, like they did for a random woman in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Here they are, sloppily karaoking “With a Little Help From My Friends” at the bachelorette’s request. Apparently, they also indulged the crowd with a rendition of “Brown Eyed Girl” while dancing with a blow-up sex doll. Who knew these two was so into the ‘yoke? [The Daily What, TMZ] Keep reading »

My New Karaoke Partner

I am mildly obsessed with karaoke. The fugs fake backgrounds, the bad backup vocals, the words with the bouncing balls—all of it makes me giddy. This dude is really embracing the true spirit of karaoke with his rendition of “This Is How We Do It.” And I’ve decided I want to do it with him … karaoke, I mean. Perhaps a duet? “Leather and Lace” by Stevie Nicks and Don Henley or maybe “Islands in the Stream,” the Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers version? [BuzzFeed] Keep reading »

Singer Wins Big — One-Million-Dumplings Big

How we wish we could be Edward Pimentel. He’s a lucky winner of the World Karaoke Championships, and the proud recipient of its one million dumpling prize. Yes, dumplings. It seems Pimentel wasn’t the overall winner, but the audience fave — and that entitles him to one million delicious steamed or fried dumplings. They aren’t just being dropped on his doorstep; he’s received a voucher for the million tiny parcels of goodness. That means that even if he were somehow able to choke down 100 dumplings a day, he’d have enough dumplings to last him 27 years

May we suggest some alternative uses for those dumplings? Use them to insulate your house. Use them for skeet practice. Fashion a farm’s worth of inanimate dumpling animals. Or you know, feed an entire city’s worth of people. Your call! [BBC News] Keep reading »

Joseph Gordon-Levitt Feels Like A Natural Woman


Yesterday, I posted the most lady empowering songs of all time, aka “The Top 10 Songs That Pump Us Ladies Up.” But give it a day, girl, and there’ll be a new contender. Super babe Joseph Gordon-Levitt just covered Aretha Franklin’s “Natural Woman.” Oh Joseph Gordon-Levitt, what you’ve done to me makes me feel so good inside! [The Daily What] Keep reading »

Single Ladies, Rejoice! This Guy Wants to Make Sweet Music With You!

Ladies, this karaoke king is looking for love, and he’s not afraid to show it — or his chest. Sam, 45, from Sacramento, Calif., is “always trying to break new ground in karaoke,” and enjoys pop and rock — but absolutely NO COUNTRY, OK? This karaoke addict has a penchant for lo-fi video graphics and just wants a Tammi Terrell to go with his Marvin Gaye — or a Cher to his Sonny, if you will. Won’t you make him happy? Keep reading »

Jude Law’s Hidden Talent: Karaoke Star


Jude Law is so freaking hot I’d watch him do just about everything. Yes, even karaoke. Jude starts singing the Chuck Berry classic “Johnny B Goode” about 44 seconds in — a little tone deaf, but in a hot way. [YouTube] Keep reading »
