Today, I worked up the courage to sing at an open mic night. I lost my cool halfway through because all I could hear was laughter. FML

Turn around, Bright Eyes

Today, I was at a karaoke bar. After a few drinks, I gave it a go. Halfway through “Total Eclipse of the Heart” I got so into it, I knocked over the mic stand. The mic flew off, hit the DJ, who then hit the emergency stop button, cutting off the music. I froze as the bar erupted into laughter. I did get a free Coke for my “performance,” which was something.

Today, I was at a friend's birthday party in a packed karaoke bar/restaurant and I drunkenly agreed to sing. I picked a song I thought I knew by heart, only to realize halfway through that the lyrics on the screen were not at all what I thought they were. My brain went for a smoke break or something, and I turned into a rambling mess. The crowd actually booed. FML

It really does! I've been singing all my life and am comfortable singing in front of people, but there's something about karaoke that makes me a bit nervous haha, and I've messed up pretty badly on a couple songs. You just gotta learn to shrug it off x)

With practice, you'll become comfortable on stage. Then you can really sing the way you know you can. Shout me out in your grammy acceptance speech OP.

At least you've entertained them. It wasn't useless. Just stop thinking too much about other people's reaction.

Dont worry about them OP, it takes real guts to sing infront of room full strangers. Next time sing 'Don't stop believing'.

I signed up for a singing contest at a local bar once, but when it came to my turn I chickened out and left the bar. It's so hard to get up in front of strangers and do something like that. Good for you for getting up there and giving it your best, OP!!!
