Karaoke is a popular pastime for people all over the world – including some of Us Weekly's favorite stars.
Mindy KalingFor one thing, she summed up the spirit of karaoke in her 2011 book “Is Everyone Hang Out With Me?” “When most people sing karaoke, they think they are contestants on American Idol and they sing and perform with their heart and soul. But I really think people should think of themselves more as temporary DJs for the party,” she wrote. “It's a kind of responsibility. It’s up to you to sing a devastatingly upbeat song that will set your friends in the right mood to have fun, drink and pick up girls and boys.”
Many stars love to show off their vocal skills at their local dive or in karaoke rooms with friends. Naomi WattsFor example, she told Vanity Fair in 2016 that she would sing a song from the musical Grease if she were given “five shots of tequila.”
Other celebrities have stranger karaoke stories. Dan Levy had the chance to sing along Mariah Carey during a Schitt's Creek Zoom special in the role of David Rose. “It was a wonderfully strange experience,” he told Thrillist.
But other stars are just like us when it comes to having strict karaoke rules and opinions. Ethan Hawke told Vanity Fair in September 2016 about his personal karaoke struggles. “A lot of my friends are actors and every time I go to karaoke they are all so good. It's pathetic. They are like professionals,” he said. “It’s an elaborate excuse for us to sit around and watch Bobby Cannavale singing, and he’s great.”
Thank you very much!

While Hawke's karaoke complaints are certainly valid, that hasn't stopped the actor from having his own favorite karaoke song at the ready.
