Karaoke is a Japanese word that refers to a performance in which a person sings along with recorded music. It’s a popular form of entertainment at restaurants and clubs: amateur singers choose their favourite well-known song to sing and then perform it for the crowd.

 

Alabama – High Cotton

We didn’t know the times were lean,
round our house the grass was green,
it didn’t seem like things were all that bad,
I bet we walked a thousand miles,
choppin’ cotton and pusing plows,
and learnin’ how to give it all we had.
As life went on and years went by,
i saw the light in daddy’s eye,
and felt the love in mamma’s hands,
they kept us warm and kept us fed,
taught us how to look ahead,
now lookin’ back i understand.
We were walkin’ in high cotton,
old times there are not forgotten,
those fertile fields are never far away,
we were walkin’ in high cotton,
old time there are not forgotten,
leavin’ home was the hardest thing we ever faced.
(band solo)
When sunday mornings rolled around,
we dressed up hand-me-downs,
just in time to gather with the church,
some times i think how long it’s been,
and how it impressed me then,
it was the only day my daddy wouldn’t work.
We were walkin’ in high cotton,
old times there are not forgotten,
those fertile fields are never far away,
we were walkin’ in high cotton,
old time there are not forgotten,
leavin’ home was the hardest thing we ever faced.
We were walkin’ in high cotton,
old times there are not forgotten,
those fertile fields are never far away,
we were walkin’ in high cotton,
old time there are not forgotten,
leavin’ home was the hardest thing we ever faced.
We were walkin’ in high cotton,
old times there are not forgotten,
those fertile fields are never far away,
we were walkin’ in high cotton,
old time there are not forgotten,
leavin’ home was the hardest thing we ever faced.
Walkin’ in high cotton

5 Tips for Singing Karaoke

Here are some other things to keep in mind about how to have a successful karaoke night:

Warm up your voice before singing so you can really hit those high notes! Follow along with this quick video on vocal warm ups for singers.
Look confident. Start with a smile and with your feet planted shoulder width apart. Make no apologies for being on that stage!
Pick a song you really know so you’re not always having to look at the lyrics on the screen. Don’t forget you have an audience that wants you to sing to them!
Use good vocal technique. Breathe low, and keep your sound placed in your mask rather than shouting into the microphone.
Practice at home! YouTube has many excellent channels, such as KaraFun, that can help you practice.
