What's the challenge?
To sing karaoke with a live band.
What are you afraid of?
Embarrassment.
How was the experience?
We found this authentic place to sing karaoke where the band is the one from SNL, called Arlene's Grocery. The thing is that they only offer rock songs and that's definitely not my genre. I finally found the one song I knew but had to practice, "Rolling in the Deep" by Adele. I knew I was taking on a huge challenge but if I was going to go on stage and make a fool out of myself, I had to do it the right way. After tormenting my neighbors a couple of nights a week I decided to go and just face that fear. I have to tell you that I was ashamed to go on stage but posting this has been even harder! The good part is that I enjoyed singing like a rock star so much that I want to make it a weekly plan till I get better at this!
