Remember how i got into a karaoke contest at the bar that TG took me to... if you were me, would you go back for the contest? I've been going back and forth in my mind... a part of me feels i should just do whatever the heck i want.. not worry about what he thinks or does...


Another part of me thinks, i should avoid that place so i don't run into him or look like i'm trying to make a scene.. worse case scenario i see him with another woman... best case scenario is i win the contest and win $200..


I don't think he goes there on Sunday nights anyways because he's not into karaoke... i found out the contest has one more qualifying round so i called one of my new girl power friends... to see if she wanted to enter the contest too... she said she does want to.. how fun... she agreed that TG has no claim to any place in town and that we should go anyway... Best case she gets into the contest too.. then we go back and win 1st and 2nd prize.. could happen...


$200 is a lot of money.. even second prize is $100.... worth it, right...

I agree... GO!


It could be awkward if you were alone, but you'll have your girl power friend.

I agree with Alison (again)- don't run your life based on what HE might be doing. Run your life on what YOU want to do!!!! So if you want to go, then GO!

thanks.. contest nights are a lot of fun... lots of people come and everyone is there to support everyone else...


but i get especially freaked out about singing on contest nights...


now i have to pick my songs.. yikes.. if you thought i was loony, then you should see me when i'm trying to pick a contest song... i just can't make up my mind... and i second guess myself like crazy... BUT i'll try to use the next couple weeks as practice..


apparently there are MANY karaoke contests around the area.. Josh told me about how he won second place somewhere two weeks ago.... and now that i'm in this new karaoke meetup group... i foresee finding all the good spots around town in no time.... (ideally, i find a spot for every night of the week....LOL... crazy, i know)...

Do you have some friends who have heard your repertoire and can help you choose?

oh good - I am glad you will go - you will shine in a contest - if you are there for that and with friends you will hardly notice if he is there or not.

Soonee's idea to get friends' input for songs is good - of course there are probably some that make you feel like a superstar when you are singing them?

Or how about "Survivor" - you can dedicate it to TG!! LOL!! NOT - just kidding :-P

Yep! I would NOT let some guy keep me from having fun with my friends!

Go win that contest and rub it in his face.

Here's some ideas i have so far...


Strawberry Wine by Deana Carter ~ a classic good song. i've been told i do this one very well.. every girl has their strawberry wine.. so i can relate.. i think of Florida when i sing this song.


Dreaming of You by Selena ~ i've sang this in contests before (but i only won 3rd place).. and it has that very long note at the end.. i don't smoke so i can hold a note forever.... i don't think of anyone in particular singing this song except for Selena and her untimely death.. i've been told i sound like her for this song.


If It Makes You Happy by Sheryl Crow ~ i like Sheryl Crow.. and

Is the contest based on audience response?
