Karaoke’s Celebrity Appeal

A piece of trivia for karaoke lovers:
Did you know that famous Hollywood stars, multi-awarded music artists, and even royal persons in monarchy have a penchant for karaoke? This amazing invention has been entertaining people all around the world, from top to bottom of the social hierarchy.

While scanning the newspaper the other day, I noticed the banner of an entertainment article which read, The Karaoke’s International Appeal. Indeed, karaoke’s appeal through the years has been large-scale, making it a global entertainer.

In Hollywood, one of the gorgeous faces of today enjoys throwing karaoke parties for her Hollywood friends in her house. Penelope Cruz does karaoke parties at home. She even says everybody arrives and they would tell her they are not going to sing, but they end up fighting for the microphone. Even Oscar winning actor Nicolas Cage winds down and relaxes while singing karaoke. He would even invite cast and crew when shooting a movie to karaoke joints.

Black Eyed Peas’ female stellar Fergie also includes karaoke as her favorite hobbies together with her boyfriend, besides fishing and cooking. Her boyfriend owns a karaoke machine at home and he would sing Total Eclipse of the Heart untiringly.

When Prince Harry was to be announced that he would be sent to Iraq, he had a karaoke spree on that eve of announcement, reportedly singing Don McLean’s American Pie and Bryan Adam’s Summer of ’69.  Even though his would-be sending off was deferred because of him being a huge security risk, at least he had some fun doing karaoke!

Even in this side of the globe, celebrities enjoy karaoke joints together with their famous friends. Popular karaoke hubs are teemed with well-known personalities singing alongside regular people. Karaoke certainly has the mass appeal, and it proved it even has the celebrity appeal. Talk about universal charm!
