Review of karaoke at Roma

Roma’s, East Troy, WI
(Saturday Night)

Roma’s quaint bar area has a central bar with seating all around. Two corner staging areas are set up, one for Friday nights, the other for Saturday nights. The stage is small and makes it easier to see the singers from across the room. Two monitors are available for the singers and patrons to follow along.

From the perspectives of both the audience and the singer, the sound system and feedback monitors are good. There is no need to bring your own cds, for this karaoke show is digital. If you don’t see a title you want to sing in the song book, don’t worry: it probably is in the extensive computer library. This program is a format for the serious karaoke patron, non-stop amateur singing with the Two-Song Set. Beverages are not allowed on stage. At the time of this review, smoking was permitted.

KJ Kalani is an interactive emcee, with a set of large hand drums and harmonica which he occasionally plays in accompaniment with some singers. If requested, he will perform The Phantom of the Opera in full cape, hat and mask. Audience response to all singers was extremely appreciative. Kalani holds singing contests throughout the year. There is plenty of talent on tap.

This karaoke venue is definitely for the serious singer and mature karaoke crowd.
