DM's Hokey Karaoke! (ROUND ONE, SIGNUPS STILL OPEN)

[supermarth64]

Help I was in China the first four years of my life and didn't start listening to music until 2001.

For now (might change later), Boyz II Men - I'll Make Love to You. (It's R&B check out Wikipedia)

 

[Tyler]

My one weakness: Genres I don't know :(

Edit: Also claiming I Believe I can Fly because thats the one of the only songs I know.

 

[Huy]

Claiming I Believe I Can Fly

 

[HolyChipmunk]

I regretted not joining the last one the instant the sign-ups closed. C'mon, Disney round.

Disney round would be awesome.

Not in it to win it

 

[Ditto]

Not a knowledgeable R&B person, so we'll see how this goes. Doing Thong Song by Sisqo.

 

[Fatecrashers]

No Diggity - Blackstreet featuring Dr. Dre

Subject to change?

 

[makiri]

Sisqo - Thong Song for me

 

[ΩDonut]

I have a funny feeling we're going to get 8 Thong Songs and 8 versions of I Believe I Can Fly.

Going with Johnny Gill's "Rub You the Right Way" for now. A lot of R&B is way too slow for my tastes.

man, a lot of the En Vogue songs I like come just one year too late.

 

[LonelyNess]

I will be singing

I'm Every Woman - Whitney Houston

 

[pookar]

gonna do no diggity by blackstreet and friends

possibly changing, seems unlikely though

 

[Upside]

I'll prob do Boyz II Men - I'll Make Love to You considering it's one of the only songs I actually know well. Subject to change if I randomly stumbles across another song I like.

One quick question though. Do most people normally just record themselves over the original song, or do we have a resource we can use to get mp3s of some songs with vocals?

 

[wickdaggler]

Not exactly familiar with this but I did a bit of searching and came up with something that sounded half decent, and I can sort of agree with.

I'll do Bell Biv Devoe - Poison

I just hope I can follow through with this!

 

[DM]

I will be singing

I'm Every Woman - Whitney Houston

haha I can't wait to hear this

Depends on the song. If it's popular, there is a good chance you can find an instrumental/karaoke version on YouTube. Otherwise, just sing over it.

 

[Da Letter El]

I don't know if i'll have time for this, but if I join, I will -probably- sing PM Dawn - set adrift on memory bliss

 

[Bucky]

I think I'm gonna do Killing Me Softly by The Fugees, but I'm still partially undecided.

 

[KnightoftheWind]

I'm going to sing Stranger In Moscow by Michael Jackson (I checked, it can be filed under R&B).

EDIT: Goody, I've done it already: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7aXMkZXvsM

 

[Brammi]

Fuk R&B. Will edit my song in later, I can't decide. Probably something by prince.

 

[Ninahaza]

it is finally done, i can go to sleep now yeeeaaayyy
anyways since i first saw DM post the theme for round one i knew what song i wanted to do and started righ away [yeay for no procrastination like ussual]. i hoped no one would have picked it up and it seems i am the first.
for round one i am doing "You are not alone" by Michael Jackson. a smooth slow RnB ballad that was his last great chart topping single in his life [in the U.S]

enjoy.

 

[ck49]

I've been browsing R&B songs for the past hour, and I am 90% sure I am doing My Way by Usher.

 

[Badal]

[ck49]

Badal, quoting people and changing their words does not make you cool

 

[Badal]

Badal, quoting people and changing their words makes you cool

Thanks bro
Does anyone have any suggestions for songs... like 3 doors down...

 

[Nilf]

Yeah kind of before my time/not my thing, but I'll be doing TLC - Waterfalls I'll skip the huge gaps between the verses and chorus that are due to the video though.

It's R&B right?

 

[andrea]

Gonna do "When You Believe" by Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey. =)

Edit: Ninahaza your song is so pretty~~~~~ =)

 

[Thunda]

mariah carey - without you
