Karaoke Fad or Forever?

[jumpmaster]

I was wondering what others believe about the question that has been posed to me by owners, singers, and even my wife. After all, in the early part of the century, the Vaudeville and Disco crowd in their "prime" probably would not have predicted the end. Would we?

IS KARAOKE A FAD, OR WILL IT LAST FOREVER?

Personally, I think it will last as long as any live performances last, which to me will basically be forever. I think that there is a vast majority of us who just enjoy singing and karaoke allows us that outlet.

However, if it would end, when would it, and what would cause it's demise? What would the signs be for us KJ's to "get a real job" and unload the equipment?
