KTV types

The following groups of people are the different types of people at KTV.

1) Mic hogger

This group of people is the most powerful of all. They take the mic and treat it as their own. Whether they know how to sing or not, whether their voice good or not, it doesnt matter, though by observations, it is statistically significant that majority of this cohort belongs to the cannot-make-it subclass. Y they do this is virtually unknown. Possible hypothesis are as follows:

a) To get ur money's worth.
Such people want to squeeze every cent out of what they paid. As such, it is perfectly logical that they want to utilise all their time singing. Though equating value to the amount of times u sing, or the amount of fingerprints or saliva u leave on the mic is unreasonable, try reasoning to these pple. I assure u that trying to convince someone that he is gay would be a less daunting task.

b) To prevent others from singing
Ah... this is evil. By hogging the mic, u can prevent people with disgusting voices from singing. I PAY MONEY NOT TO LET MY EARS SUFFER. Own benefit, also public benefit, unfortunately at the expense of the poor soul. But who cares. Unitarianiam rules.

c) To show off
Some people think they sing damn stylo. Think they are andy lau in reincarnation. However, from argument a), such people are the minority. As the common line goes, winner no nid to say anything. If you are good, you no nid to keep singing. There is no point to prove. Such people are often the cause of the existence of type b, unfortunately, as noise pollution has been scientifically proven to be harmful to health.

2) Remote control hoggers.
This group of people are as bad, if not more irritating than group 1. Let me explain. This is because in the KTV room, the remote is king. It grants unlimited power. Power to do irritating things. See a song on the list u don't like? Just strike it out. Like a particular artiste? Just choose 20 of his/her songs. Don;t like one of your frens? Just mess with the keys. Indeed, the things you can do with the remote controls are limitless. You can go mess with control settings, volume settings, do your utmost best to irritate the singer. Ah... and of cos, the ultimate comes. This is to cut out someone who is singing horribly by skipping to the next song. Is this evil? Ah... unitarianian concept again. Such people prevent people to choose songs, cos they never had a chance to.

Let's now examine the mentality behind this second class of people. It is interesting to note that group 2, unfortunately seldom overlap with group 1. This is to say that people who hogs the mic, do not hog the remote. This is interesting as it translates into something funny. Mic hoggers, now, are people who sing songs they din choose, and people who choose songs often choose a lot just for fun when they don't know how to sing. Of cos, there do exist people who are group 1 and group 2. It is adviceable not to sing KTV with such people becos simply, u dun get to do anything at all. U cant view MTV u want to view, and u cant sing. Unless u like the snacks or drinks served there, otherwise, u are just wasting ur time n money.

Y do pple hog the remote? This is especially hard to explain and I would welcome pple who can explain this logically.

3) Abstain from mic pple
This is an interesting group. They go KTV not to sing. I don't know y. Maybe because of peer pressure they go there. Maybe they too shy to sing. Maybe they like KTV tidbits. Maybe they think singing into the mic, like sharing drinks or steamboat with pple, is unhygenienic (hey, the vapours of saliva do exist). Whatever the reason, this group of pple represents free money for the KTV business in the case dat cost is calculated per pax. Otherwise, they will just lve the group 1 pple laughing to the bank.

4) Abstain from remote people
There are two types of people here. One is the pro singer. They dun care wat song u selected, cos they know how to sing all. So they simply cant be bothered to select anything. They wait for group 2 to select some songs they dunno how to sing, den they open their mouth. Such people are the pro singers, who tink that singing his/her favourite songs everytime is no kick. The second type here, coincides with the group 3 people. People who abstain from mic are likely to abstain from remote as well. These are the people who obviously listen to zero music.
