"I..I totally didn't expect this. It was just an honor being considered (/nominated)...I guess I should start by thanking Chasity, my karaoke lady at O'Connell's Pub in Norman, Oklahoma..."

What the hell is he talking about, is probably what you're thinking. So I don't know if I mentioned that there was a karaoke contest here in Bangalore..I performed a bunch of songs, but the last night of the competition, I sang You Ain't Nothin But A Hound Dog by Elvis.

I'm now in the semi-finals!!! WHOA. I shouldn't be this surprised/shocked. Not because I'm amazing or anything, but considering what I've been doing for the past month or so (not much..), this is as exciting as being nominated for an Oscar. Hence my speech at the beginning.

I'll be performing Without Me by Eminem this Wednesday and I hope i'll make it to the finals. I doubt it considering I'm the only one doing rap, the crowd is decidedly pro-rock, and some of the others have pretty strong voices. Rap doesn't exactly need a strong voice- just a lot of energy if you're doing karaoke.

So I guess I'll have to perform really hard and knock their pants off. I'll post the results as soon as I get them (probably next Sunday).

Peas.
