You can sound like crap and be off-key and if you're giving it your all and having fun, to me that's the best. We've all seen the ultra serious guys who really know how to sing just suck the life out of the room, and we've seen the dudes who take it as a joke who really aren't all that clever.<BR/><BR/>There was a guy last night who was pretty much a whole lot of nothing. Sang "Oh Darling" by the Beatles like he'd never even heard it before, and just gave nothing, almost like he'd been forced up there. <BR/><BR/>But then another guy, a fella named Brendan (spelling?), gets up and sings "My Way," has fun with it. He gets off stage before it's over, not realizing he has the finale left, and when people tell him, he goes running back and hits the microphone right on cue, and I'm like, "There's a showman!"Jamie S.
