Olivia Wilde Thinks That Good Singers Ruin Karaoke 🎤 We 100% Agree
Summary
Olivia Wilde has a strong opinion about karaoke: good singers shouldn't do it. At all. She tells Kareem that karaoke is exclusively for "the non-good singing community" who pay good money to sing badly, not for people who could get paid to perform. She's terrible at karaoke and takes pride in it. Getting booed off stage? That's the point. Her go-to song is Tupac's "California Love," though she'd prefer "Changes" if venues had it. She even refuses to sing "Happy Birthday" at parties because she'd ruin it. If Justin Bieber showed up at karaoke and sang his own songs, that's just a concert people paid to attend.

So what's your take? Good singers shouldn't do karaoke? 100% agree for it. It's not for them at all. They can go get paid to do that. We in the non-good singing community paid to be able to go and sing. Not only that, but we pay good money. We pay good money to be able to go and sing badly.
Have you ever been booed off stage for being too bad at karaoke? I'm terrible, but that's the point. That's the point. I take pride in being booed off 'cause that's great. You just gets the turnover, that's the next song. Now if you're like Justin Bieber and you're doing karaoke, greatest singer on Earth, can you do your own song? Absolutely not. That's just singing. Yeah, that's just us paying to see you perform. I don't even sing "Happy Birthday" at birthday parties 'cause it'll ruin it. I can't sing, so I'm an ideal karaoke partner.
What's your karaoke song? I like to sing a lot of Tupac. Tupac, yeah. Which Tupac song? They usually only have "California Love." Do you know this one? I see no changes. Wake up in the morning, ask myself, is living should I blow myself? I'm tired [Music] of this is how karaoke should be. Bad.
