Karaoke is an act of singing along to a music video, especially one from which the original vocals have been electronically eliminated.

Karaoke is abundant in any Bar or restaurant throughout San Diego and So Cal as a whole. Karaoke typically takes place on an off night in San Diego's bars and restaurants, making room for the bands and DJ's on the weekends and is especially fun for people who want to actually take part in the entertainment. It is common to hear the tunes "Sweet Caroline" and "Summer Nights" as you walk by a bar or restaurant, slightly off key and out of time, but full of energy and laughter that anyone can enjoy. What is less common, but underrated, is hosting a Karaoke party at your own home.

Let's face it, San Diego is crowded with nice homes and neighborhoods with pools and gardens and pool tables and fireplaces and decks with views that people would travel around the world to see and experience. So why would you want to go out to a bar to enjoy some interactive entertainment? Since American Idol brought back the popularity of "singers" being the focal point for entertainment in American Culture, Karaoke has never been so popular. You can easily host a Karaoke Party right from your own home with your family and friends and it is certain to be a hit.

Many Mobile DJ companies in San Diego County offer not only a Disc Jockey Service, but also KJ or Karake Jockey Services for a small addtional charge. The DJ will come to your home or party venue and not only provide music for cocktail, dinner and downtime between the Karaoke fun, but will also have an abundance of music with folders to choose music from! The sound system will be far superior than the early 90's Laserdisk Karaoke fad and you will also have a HUGE abundance of music that you would not be able to acquire on your own (unless you are a hermet Karaoke fanatic). The KJ will provide a small monitor for you to view the words on and will often times be able to tie into any TV in your home for a sing-back monitor. Singing along with Karaoker is half the fun!

Private Party Karaoke can also be beneficial for breaking the ice at a company party, or a great way to entertain a crowd that might not be too big on occupying a dance floor. It's often times a chain reaction though, so be careful. Once people work up the courage to try one song, they start to think of all the songs they have wanted to sing over the years and it's a snowball effect. Next thing you know it'll be midnight and your husband/wife will be singing "I'm Too Sexy" with pictures as evidence in the morning!

While Karaoke in San Diego has a lot to offer from The Coyote Bar & Grill in Carlsbad to The Crazy Burro in Encinitas or even the Lamplighter in San Diego, there is nothing like having a private Karaoke Party from the comfort of your own home. Invite your friends and family and have some refreshments as they work up the courage to sing. It'll be the party your friends and family are talking about for weeks!
