Get Musical With Karaoke

Ever think about performing onstage for thousands of your adoring fans? Come on, admit it, you have the recurring rock star dream but you're probably closer to going to a concert than starring in one, right? Not anymore!

Why not gather up your fans (otherwise known as your family) and get your tushies swaying to some karaoke jams? It's a great way to get a taste of the rocker lifestyle, minus the annoying paparazzi and endless autograph signings.

If you're not sure if you have the pipes to make it at your local pizza place's karaoke night, don't fear - the idea is to have a blast, not get signed to a label, so throw caution to the wind and sing your heart out!

How to Perform Like a Pro:

Try picking a song you know on your own or as a group. It's fun to sing something familiar. It's also helpful if your kids aren't reading just yet.

Don't worry if you can't sing like Mariah or Celine. The key to a good karaoke experience is having as much fun as possible!

Support your family. Sure, there's nothing wrong with a little friendly family competition, but there's nothing better than knowing yours is rooting for you when you're singing in public.

Take pictures as you make memories! Karaoke time is a great opportunity to get some snapshots of your family getting down together, so don't forget to charge the camera before you go.

Just get up there and shake what your mama gave you when it's your turn to shine—everyone loves a show and even your goofy parental moves will be welcomed by all ... even your kids.
