At long last, I present to you the karaoke video, as promised to my formerly-pregnant-now-mother-of-TWINS friend, Amaretto. You may recall that she requested that I perform “Total Eclipse of the Heart” karaoke-style to entertain her while she was on bedrest. The opportunity hasn’t presented itself until now; specifically, this past Saturday night at my friend’s birthday party. Better late than never!
Ordinarily, I expose the world to my karaoke stylings only under the influence of tequila and/or vodka. Copious amounts. My present expectant condition, however, prevents me from doing so. It does NOT, however, prevent me from getting hopped up on Shirley Temples, and letting the fact that we had a private karaoke room embolden me. In general, I’d only fling my arms and do a Jessica Simpson-style finger-to-the-ear move if I was very, very drunk. However, I was surrounded by people I knew, and well…I’m sure you can imagine how it went:
Turn Around, Bright Eyes from metalia on Vimeo.
Please note that I actually spent a large amount of time TURNING AROUND. (Just like the song says!) That, however, has less to do with my slavish devotion to literally interpreting the lyrics, and more to do with the fact that the monitor was BEHIND me. Why, karaoke bar, why?

That was so beautiful.
nice.
I. Love. You.
Beautiful!
You get major kuddos for doing this sober!
Awesome!
this is, by far, the best thing i have EVER seen.
I think you are about 2 minutes from an American Idol audition...
Great! So now i'm a computer nerd whose only use is helping you post embarrassing videos of yourself. Well you've accomplished your goal. "My sister ladies and gentlemen. Isn't she talented." That swaying was all original choreography. Next time just listen to your computer. I think it crashed out of sheer horror.
Congrats on the pregnancy. The new childrearing books say that children of mothers who karaoke grow up smarter.
Wow. Just wow.
I looove it. I think I just woke up my babies listening to it (for some reason I thought it was a good idea to play it in the same room that they are sleeping... nothing like a little lullaby!)
Bravo!
But more important than the singing - your little bitty pregnant belly is adorable! :-)
That... wow. Just wow.
NICE. Watch out, Bonnie Tyler.
Do you really have that strong of a New York accent or does it only come out in sober Karaoke?
I'm soloing in The Messiah in March. I totally think you should sing with me.
(You are my new hero.)
That was both wonderful and horrifying.
But, truth be told- you still sing better than I do.
