"Ultimate
Guide covers it all - even those obscure details you never thought about,
such as the rules of "k'ettiquette" or what to avoid eating before
hitting the ol' machine. Though jam-packed with quirky things she
finds herself obsessing over, Lee said the book is centered on how to approach
song choice and dance moves, along with how to make karaoke a "central
social activity to bring people together."

Interview
on "Thoughtline" a
weekly magazine show by Robert Emmett (MP3)
Listen to the whole
inteview! We wax poetic on singing strategies and why drinking is actually
a bad idea at karaoke. Probably the most in-depth candid interview yet. It was
great fun talking to Robert, and he even played "Hit Me With Your
Best Shot" by Joe Piscapo acting like Frank Sinatra, which
is NOT the Pat Benetar song.

Q: Why the karaoke obsession?
A: I just like to sing. It’s a very physical sensation, and the
wind coming out of your pipes just feels good. After a rough day or a miserable
break-up, or even when something good happens, I like I go out and celebrate
life with karaoke. It’s the ultimate stress reliever, like yoga, but without
the ugly stretchy clothes and boring chanting.

Book Review, May 14, 2008
"Hit
Me With Your Best Shot is a short colorful book covering most aspects of
karaoke. The book might have been better titled "Karaoke
for dummies" because there's a lot of stuff in here that most karaoke
pro's (singers and KJ's) already know. If you have a friend that's just
getting started in karaoke, then this book is for them."
Schema Magazine, Canada
Novels, Books, and Literature Review, April 10, 2008
"You'll find
pointers about conquering stage fright, picking songs that match your vocals,
and moves that enhance your performance from mic twirling to kicks. And you
know those times you're egged on to sing at karaoke and you can't think of
a good song? There're lists of the best songs for all occasions."
