When you typically think of karaoke, you basically envision yourself in a predominately white environment, rummaging through a book full of songs that doesn't include hardly any rap or r&b. The closest you get to a hot song is Blackstreets "No Diggity", which can only be jazzed up so much, yet you sing it like it came out yesterday. I mean it's either "No Diggity" or "Baby Got Back", the pickins' are slim. Well, I found a solution to your karaoke woes. Laristo's II, a sports bar, located on 146th and Torrence Ave., in Calumet City, IL, offers a real laid back environment. On Thursday nights around 10pm, they host a fun-filled karaoke night. There is a well balance mixture of people trying to get records deals, actual old school "sangers", and the everyday shower singers. And you don't have to worry about not having a great song selection. Two huge books include everything from Ludacris, Faith Evans, Luther, to Anita Baker, to Jill Scott. The choices are endless! The crowd is very generous and friendly, so don't worry about getting booed if you sound horrible. Another great plus about Laristo's is that it's BYOF, yeah, i know, not BYOB, but BYOF...BRING YOUR OWN FOOD. With a Harold's just down the block, I highly recommend picking up a 4pc on the way. Also, bring at least four people with you, karaoke is not fun when it's just you and one other person. If you interested in having a night filled with endless laughter check out Laristo's II on Thursday nights.Laristo's II: phone: 708.891.1343, Located: 146th & Torrence Ave., Calument City, IL
