"We're going to spend the next couple of weeks looking at music genres and how to pick the right song for the occasion," said Mike, taking his usual spot onstage. "First up is pop music. It's almost always guaranteed to be a crowd pleaser, unless you're doing karaoke in a biker bar. Like any good genre, you have various sub-sets like bubblegum pop, dance pop, teen pop, and so on. How do you know what the right genre is for the crowd? Spend some time looking over the room, getting a feel for the crowd's mood. Go ahead and hit the bar for a drink before you get on stage. One drink could really loosen you up and give you an excuse to talk to people. Finally, listen to some of the other songs people are singing, and be sure you look through the catalog of available songs. That will definitely give you a clue as to what is appropriate and what is not."

Since Mike was already on stage, he started everyone off with one of his favorite pop songs* before stepping aside for the students to take their turns.

[OOC: *It had to be done. I'll be back after 4 PM to pick up pings!]

In a manner that makes the thread collapse.

The holographic staff is there to serve non-alcoholic drinks, should you need one before getting on stage.

The holographic audience is there to cheer the students on, including a special guest...

He's never going to give you up. He's never going to let you down. He's never going to turn around and desert you.

Time to get on stage and do your thing!

In a change of pace, he's sitting on the edge of the stage after class.

The moment I saw that video, I knew it had to be worked into a class somehow. :D

...so wrong. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Phyg_uIPQII&feature=related)

Amber Atkins

Amber just had a glass of lemonade.

Savannah Levine

Savannah was drinking iced tea as she watched.

Ami Mizuno

Summer Roberts

Summer decided on a glass of pink lemonade.

Summer chose her song wisely. That would be why she was on stage singing "Material Girl." It seemed to fit.

"Very well done!" said Rick, applauding.

Amber took the stage and how could she avoid singing Britney Spears Hit me baby one more time (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bsniYwSaWg)...

She actually thought she did fairly well.

Rick clapped and cheered for Amber. "Bravo! Good job!"
