    Man shot dead for bad singing in Philippine karaoke bar

    MANILA (AFP) - A jobless man was shot dead by a security guard for singing out of tune in a Philippine karaoke bar, police said Thursday.

    Romy Baligula, 29, was halfway through his song on Tuesday night in a bar in San Mateo town, east of Manila, when 43-year-old security guard Robilito Ortega yelled that he was out of tune.

    As Baligula ignored his comments and continued singing, Ortega pulled out his revolver and shot him in the chest.

    Senior Superintendent Felipe Rojas said Baligula died instantly.
    The security guard was detained by an off-duty policeman shortly after the shooting.

    Deaths and violence are not uncommon in Philippine karaoke bars.
    The popular Frank Sinatra song "My Way" has been taken off many karaoke bars in Manila after it was found to be the cause of fights and even deaths when patrons sang out of tune.

    I better not let my daughter look at this thread. She's an excellent singer, and she hates the way I sing. This might give her some unfortunate ideas... :unsure:

    Imagine if they shot everyone who was voted off American Idol. 'Dying for a record contract' would take on a whole new meeting, and there would be a lot fewer of those sorry assclowns who show up for no other reason than their 5 minutes of fame.

    I'm surprised nobody's killed William Hung.

    He comes in very useful at Guantanamo Bay. He's got protection.

    And you'd see at least five Greatest Hits albums without as much as one regular one.
