| 520 | 1 | |a "Karaoke. The word conjures all kinds of visions - possible stardom, abject performance terror, or just head shaking bewilderment. Ten years ago when the Japanese craze had only recently arrived in the U.S., Rob Drew was drawn to the phenomenon as subject of research. What he discovered will fascinate and surprise you, whether you're a student of popular culture or just curious what's going to happen next Saturday when you get up to sing your first song at the corner bar. "Karaoke Nights" is both a keen observation on the external behavior of deejays, performers, and audience and an intimate portrait of the emotional roller coaster that is the internal life of a karaoke singer. Drew lets you feel just what it's like to be the performer - agonizing over the song, feeling the nervous anticipation, analyzing your performance. | |
