National Karaoke League

This is the second division of the National Karaōke League in Austin and it’s a great way to participate in Karaōke. When I joined, I’d barely sung karaōke at all and I found out I really like it.
The difference between NKL and just going to some random bar is that NKL is organized as a «competition», although it’s one of the friendliest competitions I’ve ever been involved in.
When someone has an excellent performance, everyone cheers. That’s the key to what makes this special, the attention. Normally in Karaōke bars, the only people who pay attention to you are your friend; all the other tables drink and talk until it’s their turn to be mostly ignored.
At NKL, people are attentive and supportive and encourage creativity and fun. Also, it’s not just the same twenty songs you hear on the radio. People sing everything, and because they have a week to plan they can get pretty elaborate with dance moves or costumes and props.
All in all, good fun and I hope the idea spreads further and stays opening and welcome. I encourage anyone to find a division on the homepage and stop by to see what it’s about and join in. It’s great craic…
