AT Survey: Would You Karaoke at The Airport?

Alright, we have to admit, when we heard about karaoking at the airport this holiday season to calm nerves before flying we got a little excited. We are avid karaoke singers (our last birthday was held in a private karaoke room in Koreatown). But we wondered if other frequent flyers would be as stoked. Traveling, especially during the holiday season, can be quite stressful, so songs of holiday cheer might be the ticket to de-stress. But then again a bad karaoke singer could also cause high anxiety among vacationers. And apparently the singing platform isn't tucked away in some dark airport bar, it's out in the open between gates at Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport (listen to the full story here). So what do you think AT readers, this holiday season, would you participate in karaoke at the airport to calm your nerves before flying?

Ugh, I'm so sick of the plural point-of-view -- why are "we" doing this again? The "we" here is so awkward and poorly executed -- "we are avid karaoke singers" and "our last birthday." Just use "I" and got on with it.

i wouldn't do it personally, but it's great entertainment watching others do it, especially when they're butchering the tunes...it's always great when people try to have a good time, especially in unlikely places like airports

So this means the terrorists have won, right?

Oh, Texas. I keep trying to give you another chance, and then you have to pull something like this.

The dude in this pic looks like an albino Carrot Top. Before he went on steroids.

I would not do it on plane, I would not do it on a train...

Worst idea ever. If I had to deal with that in an airport, I just might snap and go on a rampage.

I agree with what stella1712 says. It's so awkward. Why "we" and "our" when it's only one person talking? Everyone knows it's just one person, right? After I read "...our last birthday..." I said to my split personalities, "That's it, we're not reading apartmenttherapy.com anymore.".
