Lonely Karaoke Night Reveals Dark Secret Behind Solo Morrissey Performance

Lonely Karaoke Night Reveals Dark Secret Behind Solo Morrissey Performance

Have you ever had one of those moments where you’re out with friends at karaoke—and as the first trembling baritone note escapes someone’s lips, you suddenly find yourself imagining the hours, the painstaking hours, they probably spent practicing alone, channeling their inner rock star (or in this case, Morrissey) in front of a blank wall and a silent cat? That weird cocktail of admiration, awkwardness, and—let’s be real—a touch of secondhand embarrassment just bubbles up in your chest . And yet, that’s exactly what unfolded for Mary Lowe in Reno, NV, as her friend Matthew Brown brought out his best melancholy-Muppet Morrissey, swinging his arm in melancholy—and making everyone at the bar silently picture his lonely home rehearsals . I mean, would you not feel a mix of pride and the slightest urge to call your therapist? Dive in for all the bittersweet hilarity—complete with imagined mirror hip-swinging and, yes, the devastating vulnerability of TLC rap study—right here: LEARN MORE.

RENO, NV—Wincing as he sang in a baritone voice with a slight British accent, local woman Mary Lowe reportedly felt immense pity at a karaoke outing Thursday after she imagined her friend Matthew Brown working on his Morrissey impression alone at home. “Oh no, I can picture him practicing it all by himself in his apartment, psyching himself up to debut this little performance tonight,” said Lowe, who smiled at Brown despite the devastating mental image she confirmed he was evoking by loosely swinging one arm back and forth with his eyes focused on the ground in a melancholy gaze. “Matt is not a spontaneous person, so the gusto with which he launched into that unmistakable, Muppet-like Morrissey voice on the first note of ‘There Is A Light That Never Goes Out’ tells me that he probably watched tons of Smiths footage just to prepare for this. I can see it now—swinging his hips in front of the mirror, doing trial runs along to YouTube karaoke videos, believing this would earn him the respect and adulation of his peers. I want to cry.” At press time, sources reported the audience had fallen silent and become extremely depressed as everyone imagined Brown painstakingly studying the rapping portion of TLC’s “Waterfalls.”
