In Malayasia a man was stabbed to death after hogging the mic for just a little too long. Abdul Sani Doli would not give up his 5 minutes of fame at a coffee shop/karaoke bar in the town of Sandkan, Borneo. Two men have been arrested in relation to the stabbing.The local police cheif said that--according to witnesses--Sani sang several songs and refused to yeild the stage to anyone else, causing people to become increasingly irritated. He was confronted by three men at a nearby table outside the venue, where witnesses reported seeing a heated arguement develop. Soon after, Sani was stabbed in the chest with a knife and died.
Was he that bad???
Apparently, "karaoke rage" is not all that uncommon, particularly in Asia. There have been several reports of singers being shot, stabbed or otherwise assaulted mid-verse, usually because someone else thinks they are butchering a perfectly good song.
Frank Sinatra's My Way has caused so many problems in the Philippines that some bars don't offer it on the karaoke menu anymore.
In Thailand, a gunman shot down eight people after getting sick of hearing endless renditions of a John Denver tune.
I'm wearing my bulletproof vest next time I go to a karaoke bar........
