Someone get Simon Cowell on speed dial
Karaoke is ALWAYS a good idea. And if anyone ever tries to tell you otherwise then let them go, you just don't need that kind of negativity in your life.
Whether your signature song is something moving a la 'Total Eclipse of The Heart, kickass and classic like 'Man I Feel Like A Woman', or whether you're all about an intricate, choreographed dance routine to 'Pour Some Sugar On Me', each and every karaoke experience is a special one.
But for every million karaoke moments that should probably be forgotten about asap and never mentioned again, there's one diamond in the rough just waiting for their time to shine.
Sometimes a karaoke kween is born, and it's EVERYTHING. Here are 10 of the best karaoke performances of all time ever (and nope, that one you did last summer probably didn't make the cut, soz).
