Have you ever wondered about the psychology behind karaoke? It's quite the puzzle because right after the number one fear that most people have - the fear of flying, comes the fear of public speaking. So what would make so many people want to get up in front of a crowd of strangers in a public venue and sing? Some may say that it's like living out a childhood fantasy of being a rock star. Or maybe its a way of expressing your feelings and personality. Whatever your feelings, karaoke is a popular pastime and Lansing has a few popular spots for your time in the spotlight.
