How long can you hold it?

No, we’re not talking about how long can you go without peeing (although we have seen that there can be issues, such as the infamous Hold Your Wee for a Wii contest that resulted in a competitor’s death).

Quiz time: What do Nickleback, Justin Bieber, and Lady Gaga all have in common?

Nickleback: Here and Now
Nickleback: Here and Now

The question was asked: “What band can you really, REALLY not stand?”

You know, those artists who – at the very drop of the first note from any of the songs – just make you want to dive for the clicker/keyboard/volume control and just turn that crap off?

For instance, Web Watch can’t stand listening to the Rolling Stones.  Sure, we appreciate what they’ve done in the history of rock. We get the whole Mick Jagger, Keith Richards thing.  But after a year spent with a roommate who’s ONLY consideration for music was the Stones’ discography, we grew quickly tired of hearing All Stones, All The Time and since then have lost all interest in what the Stone have ever done.

Video Fun: Sing If You Can

Karaoke Revolution
Karaoke Revolution

Karaoke can be a fun.

Karaoke can be even more fun when it’s made into a game.

KARAOKE REVOLUTION was just the start, but there’s no danger in singing with friends in your living room.

Then came DON’T FORGET THE LYRICS and THE SINGING BEE (both regular and country versions), and KARAOKE BATTLE USA.  Sure, those games were fun… but again, where was the danger?  The risk?
