    Why do some bars have karaoke?

    GD, I hate that crap. Why would I want to listen to a drunken idiot try to sing?

    My favorite quiet little dive bar just added karaoke and now it sucks. Might as well just stay home.

    Some bar owners believe it brings in more popularity.

    I've been to a bar that had nothing going on.... and man... did it suck.

    I'd rather listen to some idiots sing. At least you have something to laugh at.

    A good mix of the original artist and the stage singer is key. If stage singer sucks then drown them out with the original performer and vice versa. Gotta have good sound system a a good mix between stage and original

    If you can't sing......learn the words to 'Wild Thing'. There ain't many.

    Then commit to your performance.

    You'll get laid.

    Asian girls do like to drink, turn red then sing karaoke... I remember traveling in the Philipeans, Manilla especially is where you will find every bar with a Karaoke deal going on. Little Asian girls in every bar trying to sing along to Brian Adams songs when I was there...

    Owned a bar for several years around the beginning of the whole american idol craze. We had karaoke 4 nights a week, put a lot of $$$ in my pocket.

    Well if you just sit there like a stiff and judge drunkards belting out popular tunes like you're Simon Cowell on American Idol, of course you're going to hate it. You have to partake in karaoke to appreciate karaoke.

    Drunk people need direction. Karaoke gives them something to do other than billiards, darts, and vomiting into potted plants.

    Karaoke is so fun.. I cant sing for shit but its always fun to go and see all the liquid courage spew out in the microphone .. i have to say i have come across some amazing singers but in the dive bars i listen to karaoke in in toronto they are not going to be "discovered" but its a good time. Great money from a bar owners perspective. Its good free entertainment.. sometimes your ears hurt at the end but hey lol at least you got a free show

    I know a few bar owners. Karaoke is often their best nights. If it didn't make money they wouldn't do it, like any business initiative.

    Filipina girls are not Asian. There Oriental. Lol
    But yes they love Kereoke. But for Asians, Vietnamese or Chinese not so much. They usually sing with there own community with a band.
