5 reasons why Youtube karaoke-ing is the best thing to do on a boring weekend.

Ain't got anything to do on a hot, sunny Sunday? Feeling so lazy to go out socializing?Nothing good on the telly? Do you have this nagging feeling that you can do better than Scott McCreery? Want to live a Glee moment in the comfort of your own bedroom?

Youtube karaoke-ing is one of the answers.

Why? Here are 5 no-brainer reasons....

Reason Number One 

You get to pick your own sets of songs without having to compromise with other paying customers.

Feel like ABBA? Just type ABBA and you'll get a myriad of selection. But today I feel like I want to belt out ...so, these are my jams of the day...

Since it's my laptop, my streamyx...who cares?

Reason Number 2...

Microphone hoggers begone.

There's always someone in the midst of our cliques who always (I repeat, ALWAYS) hog the mic. For heaven's sake, balik-balik dia seja kunun bah mau menyanyi. Macamlah dia tau kunun lagu yang sia pilih....

I love group singing but puh-lease, let others hold the mic once in a while. 

Reason Number 3...

Save money.

All you need is a laptop or PC, your room, your internet connection, and accessibility to Youtube (unless, if you are in China...there's nothing you can do about that now, is there?). Well, you might spend some on snacks and drinks, but if you're content with just biskut tawar and water, who's gonna stop you? You don't have to book a spot at a karaoke lounge or get in line to enter a Kbox (which is small and stuffy).

Reason Number 4...

You teriak or you buat action, teda orang peduli.

You want to go all sentimental or Rock God, it's all under the click of your mouse and in the privacy of your own room. It's less annoying than hearing neighbours singing so loud with their actual karaoke machine. Plus, there's no one there to judge your impersonation of Freddy Mercury or Ning Baizura. 

Reason Number 5...

Because you can. So, go ahead and turn that record (or the video) on.

*Disclaimer: In any events that your Youtube karaoke activity goes haywire because of the slow connection, well...there's always the bathroom/shower.

Bah, have fun!
