MIO! |
We went again to karaoke. This time we went with Aaron, Aaron’s
friend Ben, Amanda, Damaris, Marcelo, Brittany, Megan, John, Kevin, Fernanda,
Paola, Chad, Michelle, Jeff, and Jenny. We went back to the same place, but this time on a Friday night, so it
was a lot more crowded. I picked out a song
but I was not feeling well that night so when it got to my turn I gave the song
to someone else. Bad me, I know. Kevin, who is seriously shy, actually sang a Nickelback
song. I was very impressed. Ashley's favorite song of the night was sung by Paola. "MIO! MIO! Este hombre es mio...." She really killed it. Since it was so crowded, we didn’t get to sing many songs, and the
Spanish songs the other groups sang were slow and depressing. So we headed home
early.
June 20th
Another karaoke night. This time it was Ariel, Ashley,
Stephanie, Aaron, Amanda, Ben, and I. First we met up for dinner at a new restaurant, La
Esquina. It is similar to Tiesto's, but the service is much worse. First of all,
the waiter tried to pressure us into ordering far more food than we needed. Amanda
had been there before and told us there would be more food than we could eat.
To make ordering really entertaining, we decided that Kaitlyn and Ben should do
it. So she asked for “una coca-cola por favor” and Ben ordered the food. It was
plenty.
After dinner we went to a new place to get different hot chocolate
drinks. They were really good.
Finally we went and found a new karaoke place that
charges $.25/song. This was Ashley’s last
Karaoke before she left. So we had to go all out! Fortunately the place was pretty
empty. Overall, we sang more than 20 songs as a group. And the Spanish group
that was there was actually supportive and sang some upbeat Spanish songs
instead of the normal, boring, slow songs.
Enter Sandman |
Ashley rocked out to “Enter Sandman” with Ben and Aaron.
Single Ladies |
A highlight for me was singing “Single Ladies” with Amanda and Ariel
with Ashley providing the Beyonce dance moves. About halfway through the song,
Aaron joined her to let out his inner single lady.
"Bette Davis Eyes" |
"Just the Way You Are" |
Aventura FAIL! |
"Na Na Na Na Na Na Na, Hey Jude" |
Amanda, Ariel, and Stephanie
sang “Lovefool.” Ben and Stephanie did “Total Eclipse of The Heart.” Ariel did not learn our lesson from the previous Karaoke night, and tried to sing a song by Aventura in Spanish...FAIL. Thankfully, the mics had malfunctioned during the song anyway, and no one had to hear the horribleness, or at least most of the horribleness. For some unknown reason, the employee came and fixed them about halfway through. BOO on him! We ended the night with everyone singing “Hey Jude” by The Beatles.
Though the curtain has now come down on Ashley's karaoke days, the rest of us can't wait to hit the stage again. LIGHTS, CAMERAS, VOICES!!!
