The other night I finally sang karaoke stone cold sober the entire night (usually have to at least have a couple of liquid courages).
Heh, I used to be the exact same way... in fact, check out some of these past threads. I talked about this same thing:
(Gilly's post) Bad singers---> Come here... http://www.karaoke-forum.com/viewtopic.php?t=3479&highlight=
and
(KantStopKaraoke's post) Things I wonder about http://www.karaoke-forum.com/viewtopic.php?t=3340&highlight=
(at least I think those are the ones, I've slept since then  )
When I record, I don't look at the lyrics. I sing it from memory because I record with Adobe Audition, and it isn't integrated with my karaoke player. But when on stage, I ABSOLUTELY have to have the lyrics. Even if I know it very well. Comfort thing, I think (like Linus and his blanket?) Just knowing the words are scrolling along on the screen with me helps me to keep my composure. _________________

Quote: I used to close my eyes, but then people started saying I do the Stevie Wonder thing!
Sooooo funny!!! 
I do that too .... once was told I looked like one of those "headbobby thingies" ya might see in a car!! Hoooooooooting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As for shut or open eyes.... If I am pretty comfy with a tune... I can shut my eyes and get into for a min. or so.... but when I open them... I better be able to see the words, or I panic a bit.
If its a song Im doing for the first time in public... eyes tend to "glue" to the words... which I also hate!!
I agree with the "security" thing. Used to know so many songs by heart before doing Karaoke .... now.... sorta need the words to stay on track. What's that all about????? ~~heavy sigh~~
But that Stevie Wonder comment..... set me off.... still laughing!!
Hugs All, CC

Not only do I sing with my eyes closed....but I love love love to dress up as my character as well....erm...not the ladies, of course. But I have sung songs as a pirate (Into the Fire), as a Phantom, as a junkie (just ripped jeans and flannel shirt)...once, I sange Anthem from "Chess" wearing only USA boxers....thats as naked as i ever got....perhaps, as naked as I'll ever be.
Sorry, it's late, and I'm a but drunk....hehe...have a merry xmas everyone!

I had my eyes closed one time, and some really sticky lip gloss on... stuck the damn mic right to my bottom lip, which totally changed the note I was going for. That's always big fun. _________________

Crystal - too funny about hitting your teeth!!
Our mics aren't grounded well, so we have to be REAL careful not to get any mouthy parts on 'em!! (otherwise - SURprise!!)
