I really enjoyed watching Sonny's long-awaited unarchived karaoke! Funny story, really - my friend and I were watching the karaoke together, and after the first song they asked me 'Is this all going to be meme songs?' and I was like 'What else do you expect from Sonny?'
Well, I'm glad it wasn't all meme songs - although I laughed a ton during them too! There was a lot of variety (and a bit of tonal whiplash) across his karaoke, as well as some songs (Pendulum!) I didn't expect at all. Not to discredit his first karaoke, but I think being able to do English songs really let him show off a lot more; he had some really cool ad-libs with the voice acting on Go the Distance and I'll Make a Man Out of You, and I really enjoyed his vocals on The Man who Sold the World.
Overall, this karaoke was just - fun. It's what I loved about his first karaoke, too - he's not a great singer and he really struggles with high notes, but you can genuinely tell how much he's enjoying himself. Even with the songs he knows are outside his range, he still puts his heart and soul into it and just lets loose with it all. It's practically infectious. If it wasn't fuckin' four in the morning, I'd be singing along too. God knows I still want to. I've had the biggest smile on my face since he started.
Thanks for listening to my TED talk. It's been a really good week for karaoke kino. I'm looking forward to the next week, too.
