#50 Getting a 100 at videoke

Did you know that Pinoys are attributed to have invented the videoke? 


Heres the a little background story from Ver Pangonilo:

"The Karaoke Sing Along System was invented by Roberto del Rosario, the president of the Trebel Music Corporation in 1975. Despite some controversies on who first invented the karaoke machine, it was del Rosario who first registered the patent of the Karaoke machine.

The first karaoke machine was plainly audio with the vocals removed thus the term "Minus-One". The singer using a microphone will then be able to sing along with the melody of the song.

The karaoke was then developed to include vdeos which was called as Karaoke TV (KTV) or Videoke which became a fad. Video tapes such as Betamax and VHS tapes were then popularized and became a good alternative to the Sing Along system. Filipinos then preferred the Videoke."

And with Filipino ingenuity, we have invented another wonderful innovation, the Magic Sing :

Which made Manny Pacquiao a singer! Sometimes when we tats, the hanesty's two much....


And now, you cannot find any binyagan, wedding reception, fiestahan, plain inuman, or any Filipno occasion  without videoke. Onli in the Philippines. Even the non-singers belts out if given the mic which is irritating to the ear drums.

There is an awesome feature of the videoke, which is giving a grade or rating to the singer. I am not a singer and hardly sing in the videoke but saw many times that 100 is given to the performer. Awesome moment!
