STAMFORD, Conn. (AP) — Police say a woman singing karaoke in a Connecticut sports bar was attacked by six other women who didn’t like her performance. The attack on the 25-year-old woman from Port Chester, N.Y., happened during karaoke night at Bobby Valentine’s Sports Gallery Cafe in Stamford.
Authorities say the six women, all under the legal drinking age of 21, knocked the singer to the floor, punched her and pulled her hair. The victim suffered bruises and a chipped tooth.
The victim has said she was singing “A Dios Le Pido” by Colombian superstar Juanes when the violence began.
I’m not a huge fan of karaoke as it makes me nervous and–I’ve come to terms with it–my voice is more than a little pitchy. But I can’t even wrap my mind around how that scene turns into punching and hair pulling. Literally can not wrap my mind around it.
Apparently the attacked lady’s response to her assault was “If you don’t like it you can leave!” But they couldn’t leave, see? This had to be dealt with. Something had to be done. And I suppose it’s somehow good that we live in a world where people are willing to take up arms in defense of karaoke artistry.
