Get In Touch With Your Inner "American Idol": The Top Karaoke Bars In San Diego

With this season's edition of American Idol blowing away the TV competition, even the Olympics, you're probably watching the show and saying, "I can sing just a good as that." Maybe so, but singing into the shampoo bottle while lathering up doesn't count - you gotta show your stuff in front of a real audience. And that's what hundreds of wannabes do nearly every night of the week around the county. Yes, I'm talking about karaoke: that much-maligned/adored/addictive chance to glow in the spotlight. Oh sure, some karaoke rats take it - and themselves - much too seriously. But for most, it's all about the fun of mustering up enough nerve to see if you really can hold a tune, be it "Copacabana" or "I Will Survive." It might be a one time experience - or it might start you on the road to American Idol. But you'll never know unless you try. Read my picks for the Top Karaoke Bars In San Diego right here.
