Hi Everyone,
I'm writing this review for all the karaoke lovers out there.
I recently went on an incredible first date with an amazing woman—smart, beautiful, and a joy to talk to. To top it off, she absolutely rocked the karaoke stage twice, blowing everyone away with her stage presence and powerful vocals. It was a great night… until it wasn’t.
She wanted to sing a third song, and I was genuinely looking forward to hearing it and recording the moment. Unfortunately, the DJ completely derailed the experience. Instead of following the established list and rotating singers fairly, he decided to let a group of late arrivals (who were clearly his friends) jump the line. My date, who had been up just two spots ago and should have been next, was suddenly bumped down to “ninth.” When I asked the DJ about it, he responded rudely and dismissively.
What made it worse? My date had been tipping him all night—unlike the newcomers—yet he showed no appreciation or respect. It’s frustrating when someone changes the rules mid-game. A song queue exists for a reason—to keep things fair and enjoyable for everyone. Otherwise, what’s the point?
Thanks to the DJ’s poor judgment, the night ended on a sour note. I had been spending money, supporting the venue, and genuinely trying to have a great time.
To anyone coming here for karaoke: be prepared. If you’re not in the DJ’s inner circle, you may be left waiting… and waiting.
We'll see if there’s a part two for me. Hope this helps others make an informed choice.
