I thought that karaoke lesson was difficult. These people usually sang without music….try it. It’s actually quite difficult but really funny.

Fatima sang Heal the world – Michael Jackson

AHA Pax sang – I won’t back down…by Tom Pattty

I won’t back down – it means that no matter what the situation or consequences, he’s going to stand by what he believes in

Dai Galaxy sang a song about an old Russian guy called Rasputin

Here are some verses from the song

There lived a certain man in Russia long ago

He was big and strong, in his eyes a flaming glow

Most people looked at him with terror and with fear

But to Moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear

He could preach the bible like a preacher

Full of ecstasy and fire

But he also was the kind of teacher

Women would desire

RA RA RASPUTIN

Lover of the Russian queen

There was a cat that really was gone

RA RA RASPUTIN

Russia's greatest love machine

It was a shame how he carried on

Tracy sang Je ne sais pas pourquoi - Kylie Minogue

Lights about town

Expect me just to hang around

And you never call

You just stand me up and let me down

I didn’t sing. I can do karaoke but this is well above my singing skills. But I am going to look for a song then play it several times so I can learn the melody and will definitely try it again next time. I could be the next EC Idol……))))))))))))))))
