No thank you

What type of karaoke singer are you?

Microphones are like smooth-talking, when faced with it, each of us reacts in a different manner: extroverts find themselves right at home, those who are a bit more shy may stumble a bit, while others surprisingly shine under the spotlight. We've put together some typical portraits of different types of karaoke singers for you to identify others and even see where you fit in yourself!

The sportscaster

This singer can't really sing and makes it clear throughout the entiresong in order to justify the out of tune wailing. Possible things you might hear the "sportcaster" saying "But I don't even know the words" (even if they are displayed directly in front of him) or "Wow, that note is way too high for me" or "Gosh, my nasopharyngitis is really getting to me today" or "I swear I can't, tomorrow I have to be well rested, I have a spin class."
Favorite quote : "You never know how strong you are until being strong is your only choice." Bob Marley
Guilty pleasure to sing: Loser as made famous by Beck

The tone-deaf (and proud of it)

This singer has courage thanks to understanding friends and a blasé attitude. Take it easy on this type of singer and be kind as he'll never hurt your ears as much as he might hurt himself!
Favorite quote : "The learner always begins by finding fault, but the scholar sees the positive merit in everything." G.W. Hegel
Guilty pleasure to sing: You Know I'm No Good as made famous by Amy Winehouse

The opera singer

And the award for best interpretation goes to the opera singer's interpretation. Be sure to keep a respectful distance as this type of singer can be quite expressive in his gestures; this singer can be found pounding chest blindly while letting his emotions get the best of him. This singer may be so inclined to add his own rendition of the song, improvising based on imagination.
Favorite quote : "An opera singer is one who gets stabbed in the back and instead of bleeding, starts singing." Judy Canova, humorist
Guilty pleasure to sing: Let Me Be Your Star as made famous by Smash

The member of the boys/girls band

Like the stereotype of women never going to the bathroom alone or men who watch a soccer match in groups, certain karaoke singers gravitate to the mic in groups.
Favorite quote: "We know it well, none of us acting alone can achieve success." Nelson Mandela
Guilty song pleasure : Happy Together as made famous by The Turtles

The "air" singer

This singer's body is an extension of his voice. Dancing around like a madman, showing off and stealing the show with his extravagant movements and waves throughout the instrumental part of the song, the air singer will never be seen simply standing calmly behind the microphone.
Favorite quote : "To sing well and to dance is to be well educated." Plato
Guilty pleasure to sing: He's The Greatest Dancer as made famous by Sister Sledge

The anxious

It's said that the measure of a great singer is that you can feel what he is feeling. For some, karaoke becomes one big group therapy session. It's a way to get the stress out, cry it out, scream it out, whereas for others it seemingly lets out the obsessive compulsive disorder tendencies.
Favorite quote : "If you hear a voice within you say 'you cannot paint,' then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced." Vincent Van Gogh
Guilty pleasure to sing: He's So Shy as made famous by The Pointer Sisters

The faker

This singer spends the whole night, flipping through the song list, pretending that he just can't find what he is looking for when the time comes for him to sing. Excuses, excuses!
His favorite quote : "There is a destination but no way there; what we refer to as way is hesitation." Franz Kafka
Guilty pleasure: I Don't Want to as made famous by Toni Braxton

The mic hog

Hard to contain his enthusiasm, this singer will take advantage of any opportunity possible to grab the mic and never let it go.
Favorite Quote : "Each man for himself in that desert of egoism which is called life." Stendhal
Guilty pleasure to sing: My Selfish Heart as made famous by Meghan Trainor

The self-proclaimed hero

Waiting patiently his turn, you'd never guess that this singer, would actually be any good. And then....you'll see him there, kneeled-down, belting out a tune (and rocking it) without even needing to look at the words.
Favorite quote: « Nous sommes notre plus grande surprise », Paulo Coelho
Guilty pleasure to sing: Heroes as made famous by David Bowie

The clown

In order to hide his singing faults, this type of singer does his one-man show, cracking jokes, rocking his hips like Elvis, moonwalking like Michael and doing his best impersonation of the original version.
Favorite quote: "The advantage of being intelligent is that you can pretend to be stupid. The opposite just is rather difficult." Kurt Tucholsky
Guilty pleasure to sing: They All Laughed as made famous by Frank Sinatra
