“Go on, get on up there. It will be fun.” Certainly, anyone who frequents bars on karaoke night has heard a similar pep talk. Most people, even the shy ones will, after a few drinks, venture on stage to get in tune with their inner Robert Plant or inner Madonna. Karaoke-themed bars are a time-tested value in entertainment. “Go on, get up there. It’ll be fun.” That pep talk certainly will be heard at these four popular Queen City karaoke bars.

    Horrible choices, do you know a good karaoke show when you see one, what was your criteria when selecting these? Your article is a slap in the face to other Charlotte Based karaoke companies if not for anything then not mentioning who is offering the karaoke. every karaoke show is operated by select companies and are all different. Some are bottom feeders who destroy the market value and send a bad image of the industry and some are legit businesses that create jobs and offer real services to actual costumers. Try researching a little before you write an article about a section of the business community.

    As for who will own the market in the long run, it’s too early to say. But you have to have three things in the market in order to win: you have to have device penetration and more importantly device adoption; people actually have to use the device, not just buy it.
