Went to karaoke last night. It seems every girl thinks she can sing as well as Pat Benetar

Unfortunately, most of them are right.

I apologize to her fans (I know there has to be a couple) but I didn't come to that observation overnight.
I saw her and her husband on an acoustic story telling show, and I left feeling if it wasn't for Neil Giraldo's massive talent she'd still be singing the clubs in Hoboken. ...And karaoke.

Same with Billie Eilish and her brother Finneas.

3. I couldn't stand Pat Benetar

She was one of the worst of 80’s music in my opinion.

She actually got her start here in Richmond. She was a waitress at Sam Miller’s an oyster and steak restaurant in Shockoe Slip. After her shift she went upstairs to the piano and, I’d guess, cigar room.

4. Many disagree. BTW Where was karaoke for girls held?

Patricia Mae Giraldo (née Andrzejewski; formerly and still professionally Benatar /ˈbɛnətɑːr/; born January 10, 1953) is an American singer and songwriter. In the US, she has two multi-platinum albums, five platinum albums, and 15 US Billboard top 40 singles,bwhile in Canada she had eight straight platinum albums, and has sold over 36 million albums worldwide. She is a four-time Grammy Award winner. She was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2022.

Pat worked as a bank teller near Richmond, Virginia.

Career beginnings

Benatar quit her job to pursue a singing career after being inspired by a Liza Minnelli concert she saw in Richmond, Virginia. Benatar had a gig at a Holiday Inn and got a job as a singing waitress at a nightclub named the Roaring Twenties. At the Roaring Twenties, she met and formed a duo with pianist Phil Coxon, which soon expanded to a ten-person lounge band called Coxon's Army, a regular at Sam Miller's basement club. The band gained in popularity and was the subject of a never-aired PBS special; its bassist Roger Capps was later the original bass player for the Pat Benatar Band. The period also yielded Benatar's first single: "Day Gig" (1974), written and produced by Coxon and given a limited local release. Her last significant gig in Richmond was a two-hour performance at Thomas Jefferson High School. wikipedia

5. At least Benetar was awake when she sang. Elish seems like a somnambulist IMHO

6. I'd be interested to know what female singers

you do like?

[JohnnyRingo]

8. I doubt you would.

[pnwest]

9. I actually would very much.

Being somewhat acquainted with the ins and outs of singing and music, I'm very curious. Love to talk about music.

[JohnnyRingo]

10. I don't know why it matters but there are a lot of women I love to hear

So many that you can pick any letter of the alphabet and I can name a female artist I listen to.
Except Z and X. I don't care much for Moon Zappa or Charli XCX.

11. I'm just trying to initiate conversation about a topic

that I'm interested in. Sorry. Thought that might be what this forum is about...sheesh.

7. I was never a Pat Benatar fan either, though it has as much to do with her material

as her voice. It never did a thing for me. Everything she did sounded as if they intended it to be a rock anthem.

I think Billie Eilish has a very pretty voice and really showed off her emotional range in the song she did for the Barbie movie (the name of the song escapes me,. something about what we're made of).
