Ok, ok, ok, I'm sorry, but this list is just plain crap. As a child of someone who's been involved with the karaoke business for the past 12 years or so [my first experience with a karaoke machine was when my dad brought one home from work when I was 8], and a past karaoke host myself, this list is not nearly as truthful as it should be.
THE first one on that list should be that "What's Going On?" song by Three Non Blondes. Horrible. Everyone seems to sing it. "Killing Me Softly", either version, should be avoided--no one can seem to sing those "ooh oohs" at the end. Another is "Love Shack".
Uhm, I'm at work, but I'll think of more later. But those three should just taken out of karaoke song books.
