Summary Annotation Most ethnographers don't achieve what Kevin Brown did while conducting their research: in his two years spent at a karaoke bar near Denver, Colorado, he went from barely able to carry a tune to someone whom other karaoke patrons requested to sing. Along the way, he learned everything you might ever want to know about karaoke and the people who enjoy it. The result is 'Karaoke Idols', a close ethnography of life at a karaoke bar that reveals just what we're doing when we take up the mic - and how we shape our identities.
