Karaoke Night at Jake's - More Music Needed
Wednesday July 15, 2009
Watching karaoke night (which lasted, what, three episodes) on General Hospital got me thinking.
I remember when I interviewed John Wesley Shipp that he told me that he sang the song "You Needed Me" (I think) everywhere on The Guiding Light - in the shower, outdoors, indoors, in bed, you name it, the fans heard him.
Even casually flipping channels past The Bold and the Beautiful, one couldn't miss Jack Wagner singing "Dancin' in the Moonlight." He seemed to sing it constantly.
Old-timers will certainly remember Dr. Tony Jones (Brad Maule), in his white coat at GH, singing "Not a Day Goes By." I can't remember the situation that would have caused him to break into song in the middle of the hospital, but stranger things have gone on there.
I think General Hospital should incorporate more singing into the show. I hope karaoke night isn't a one-time thing and that some other characters will get up and sing. The show seriously needs to lighten up, and this is one way to do it. Let Brandon Barash belt out a few - he's a wonderful performer. Nikolas should try his hand at crooning. He and Lucky should also sing a duet.
I say bring it on once in a while. Let's face it, at this point, it can't hurt. It might even help.
