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

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.
