Come on, take off your slippers and stop playing singstar with your play station. Singing along all alone in front of the TV at home is just nonsense. Well, doing it with some friends can be entertaining, but be honest: There’s nothing more boring than that! Explore the incredible world of the anti-karaoke in Madrid and discover the hidden rockstar in yourself! Let it rock, yeah!
It’s very difficult to explain in one sentence what this mega event offers you. You just have to go and participate by your own. Anti-karaoke is a spectacular mix of underground karaoke, Broadway shows, rock concerts and a freaky party with a crazy crowd. The completely madness in a state of exception which you can enjoy each Monday in the famous Apolo Club in Barcelona and in Madrid each last Wednesday of the month. Before going you should know that it is a lot more than a conventional karaoke party.
The highlight of the anti-karaoke parties is without any doubt the amazing and totally freaked out show presenter: Rachel Arieff. Rachel seems to have first seen the light of day with a certain mission: to rock the stage and entertain the audience. And she is more than talented in doing so. During the party, she changes her outfit many times; she flirts without limits and takes the breath of everyone. At the beginning of the show, all braves can put their names down to the songs they would like to sing. Later they will be presented and celebrated like real rock stars by Rachel and the crazy crowd. Do you think you’re just too normal for that? Don’t panic, because on stage you’ll have a lot of wardrobe options and decoration stuff like wigs, sunglasses, Hawaiian necklaces, inflatable dolls or boats, etc.. Secondly, the audience is already a little bit tipsy and don’t notice little incidents. The most important things are charisma, a good show and a creative performance. To have the best voice ever, like Whitney “I-am-moving-my-hands-all-the-time” Houston, is just unimportant. Shrill, crazy, freaky and authentic…nowadays a lot of “real” stars should learn something from all those amateur stars.
And now a little linguistically excursus: Karaoke appeared the first time in the early 70ies in Japan. As time went by, it was spread out through the whole world. The term is composed by the words “Kara” (“empty”) and “Oke” (“orchestra”). Nowadays karaoke is one of the most popular leisure activities where a lot of stars and talents have already been discovered.
