karaoke videos

I thought I’d make a post that has my karaoke videos on it, as sort of a centering place. A few years ago, some friends and I started sharing karaoke videos on Twitter with the hashtag #karaokewithcatharine or #weekendkaraokechallenge. It was really fun. I was so happy to see what everyone shared. Some of my favorite moments on Twitter have happened because of karaoke and the connections made across music.

Anyway I’m just going to link a bunch of stuff here so I have sort of a centering place for the videos I made.

(It’s all just for fun, not particularly serious, just a heads up. I don’t like the pressure that comes when people try to make something “official” or “good.” Performing… anyway. I could rant on that topic for a while. But the reason this started was because I wanted people to have a place to share without trying too hard, which is how I approached it, too).

(I will edit this as I locate more)
