Wow! This place is a gem and you would never know it judging by the outside. Looks a little shady when you first pull up to it but once you are inside it is HEAVEN if you happen to be on a US Karaoke Tour, which is what I consider my life to be.
I am not sure if there was a karaoke league going on when I walked in or if everyone was just that good and if the KJ just KNEW what songs people were able to sing. Everyone was seated patiently at these long tables with plastic chairs. It almost looked like a senior center or a church (or what I imagine either of those places to look like, since I attend neither). The KJ was ASSIGNING songs to people, or at least seemed to be since even though people were signed up to sing in an orderly queue they had no idea what they were singing until they got to the stage. Incredibly, every single person absolutely NAILED whatever song they were given and the crowd was so positive and supportive. I attempted to sing "Groove Is In The Heart" for the first time ever, which I admittedly botched as I needed more practice before I debuted it, but the crowd was super encouraging and helped me get through my performance.
Overall, I had a great time on the cheap and met some wonderful, talented people. If I ever happen to be in Baton Rouge again, I will definitely stop by here for another fantastic night! read more
