Yes, I like some Frank Sinatra... I also like Etta James, Billie Holiday, and Ella Fitzgerald. However, most of the songs that I win contests for are songs by Barbra Striesand, Celine Dion, etc... songs that are more "ballad" and more of a stretch vocally. It's actually not difficult to sing these kinds of songs if you know how to breathe and haven't damaged your vocal cords with smoke and alcohol. Unfortunately, about 90% of people that go to karaoke bars have problems with this.

I hate cigarettes smoke in bars , alcohol not bad depending how many drinks you got lol . I do not smoke , I don't mind for cigars ...I am sure you have a very nice voice . In California anyway it is forbidden to smoke !
Did you go lately for karaoke contests ????

I haven't been to any since late November. I was at a bar a few weeks ago and some guy there asked if I do "the circuit". I didn't know what that meant... then he told me there are singers who go to every karaoke contest in the city. They know when all the contests are and compete against each other. He said you can go to any karaoke store like Singer's Choice and get a roster of all the local contests. I'm not sure if I would want to take it that seriously or not... there is little chance that I would become famous from it, and it's really just fun for me. But who knows? The money would be nice, LOL.

Fame depends mostly on who you know and what you look like. Appearances and image is very, very, VERY important... even more so than talent. There are lots of people out there who can sing... many of them sing much better than I do. They even sing much better than many "famous" singers that are making millions right now. However, they are simple factory workers, lawyers, insurance agents, cooks... and all because they're not attractive enough and they don't know the right people.
I would need liposuction, enamel fittings for my teeth, contact lenses and hair extensions... and even then, I would be "too old". Record producers are looking for teenagers, or chicks that look like teenagers. Oh, and it doesn't hurt if you're related to someone famous (hello, Lisa Marie). LMAO.

My face is... erm... unusual. Not bad or anything, just... different. I have big eyes, but a really small mouth. At least when I'm not smiling. But when I smile, that's big too. I seem to have what people call "high cheekbones", but they're not sculpted like most people who have them. Probably would be if I lived on the carrot/celery/raisin diet, but we won't go there.
My nose is actually OK. Your nose is OK too, Kimmy. I've seen pictures of you!

Ohhhhhh.... when I look at this picture, I wanna wrap my arms around him, lick his eyebrows and nibble on his ears.... oh, I want to have so much fun with his body, feel his naked flesh pressed against mine... yummmm.... I need to find a man built like this who wants to satisfy me. It's been WAY too long, and I'm getting frustrated.
Maybe he'd let me lick caramel sauce off his nipples... and nip at his belly button.

LMAO! Your one of a kind Miss Kimmy & we love you for it!
So tonight I placed 1st on the preliminaries of the new contest... it's on April 29th.
I'm more excited about this one because this time I placed 1st instead of 3rd. Also, they aren't going to make us dress like the artist whose song we're performing, which I thought was stupid as hell anyway. I'm sorry, but I wasn't going to dress like Barbra Striesand and that's what kept me from getting 1st or 2nd (according to the judges). So even if some people do dress up, it will have no bearing on their score. It's all about singing ability, stage preference and song interpretation (doing it in your own style instead of mimicking the original singer).

There's really no ass to kiss at this moment... I don't know who the judges are. I don't think it would make any difference anyway. LOL.
Heather and I didn't get to hit any karaoke bars, unfortunately. She said karaoke is not that popular in her neck of the woods.

I don't think people would believe I was a dumb slut. They are more likely to believe I'm a prudish, nerdy little git. I don't think it would have the same impact.
