Suggesting karaoke to a gathering of mates is a way to slice a group down the middle. Like smelly cheeses and stray dogs, half (perhaps the snobbier) of your mates will turn their noses up in disgust. The other half? They’ll umm-and-aaah and murmur excuses, but all the while be rifling their mental karaoke songbook, ready to let out their inner diva.
The mood is very different inside the eight private karaoke rooms. Long, thin, and overpoweringly dark, the rooms are well-equipped with huge screens, decent mics, and – most importantly – a huge tome listing the hundreds of musical delights that can be dialed up at the drop of a hat.
