Scientific Karaoke

Caitlin & Gillian had Conor and I over for a Wii get-together last weekend, and my cheeks are still healing. I'm not the bar type, so I don't get out a lot to see people singing their little hearts out to their favorite love ballad. Caitlin and Gillian just recently bought Karaoke Revolution and Just Dance, and we decided to get together to test it out! I'll be honest - I was a bit reluctant, I don't really like singing in front of other people, but Conor & I had a BLAST!


G & Finn started off the night.


Things got out of hand almost instantly.


I don't know what it is about Conor and microphones, but the kid loves karaoke! He's not half bad either!


Scientist Sarah and I. Why does it look like I sat down to a formal dinner, then forget to put my cloth napkin away?


I really just added this because I'm fist-pumping. GTL!


Gillian and her boyfriend Tony Paradise. Did you instantly fall in love with him like I did when you heard his last name? He totally lives up to that perfect last name - Tony's awesome!


Gillian & Tony were singing "So What" by Pink, and every time it said "You're a tool" she would scream and point to Tony. It might not be as funny in this video, but it was hilarious.


Finn doesn't mess around.


Caitlin & I singing that Kanye and Adele song. Let me tell you why I put this on my blog. SO I NEVER KARAOKE EVER AGAIN! I'm not good. Although, the synchronized kick was pretty spectacular.


Finn & G were very excited to sing "Love Story" by Taylor Swift.


VERY excited.

After a lot of singing, we decided to try out their Just Dance game. Basically, you hold the Wii remote in your right hand, then you dance along with a song, such as "2 Legit 2 Quit" by MC Hammer. Most of us were pretty awful at the dancing, but Tony was a natural! Caitlin's friend Kaitlin (a friend from her second job) was also really good, so her and Tony kept duking it out - he won the first few, then she finally got her revenge and beat him! It was really funny to watch because Kaitlin is a really good dancer, so she was trying really hard to match everything the dancers did. Tony figured out that all you really need to do is match the dancer's right hand, and you'll win every time.

Battle Royale


I wish I had taken a video of this dancing - it was so funny because they looked like they were dancing to different songs, yet they both scored crazy points!

Thank you girls for having us over!
