Surely, my cousins and I overstayed our visit simply because we were having a great time, being able to bond with each other. I hope the next time I come to visit, we'll be able to go out for karaoke here again.

My friends have celebrated many a birthdays here, with a group of five, fifteen, twenty, and even a hundred! Indeed, that they have many different-sized rooms to cater to your needs is one of Centerstage's biggest draws. Another is its affordable packages. For around Php 2,500 to Php 3,500, you can already get drinks, food, and three hours of videoke in your own KTV room for five to 15 pax. Not bad! You may also avail of hourly rates for the KTV rooms if you prefer to choose your own drinks and food from their extensive menu. Hosting a party? Their Sala can fit up to 100 pax. Package starts at Php 35,000, inclusive of food, drinks, and videoke time. For the serious/aspiring videoke stars, Centerstage's playlist is extensive and updated! Their microphones are regularly cleaned and have sanitary covers that are changed per visitors. Rooms are also clean, though some may have lingering smells of food ordered by previous visitors. Some rooms are cold, some not too much. Their waiters are accommodating, though, so I'm sure you can work with them re: temperature adjustment. An important word of advice: Centerstage can get packed, especially during Friday and weekend nights, so best to reserve via telephone before you come. We made the mistake of forgetting to do this the last time we visited, and we ended up fifth on the waiting list. We had to wait for over an hour--went out to dinner first--before we finally got a room. By then, we were already a bit sleepy. But we still ended up staying over three hours! Our voices were hoarse and our throats itchy when we got home, but we had a blast!

The song choices are excellent too. Expect to find the greatest and the latest with just a click of the button. All the Spice Girls I want - and you want - are heeeeere!!

My friends and I were looking for a place where we can chill and drink alcohol when we saw this…read moreplace. So we've decided to try this out since it looked nice from the outside. The interior was impressive and their price was reasonable. I gave it 2 stars because the service was poor. There's this staff who looked annoyed the whole time we were there. Their sound system sounded like we were in a cheap pub. I thought putting the playlist in a tablet is something cool because you don't have to flip tons of pages to search for your favorite songs, but I was wrong. The receiver kept on hanging, so we had to wait for the staff to reset it. It's a complete waste of time to wait for someone to reset the sound system every time we pick a song. We only lasted for 30 mins until we finally decided to leave. The worst part was they're charging us for one hour when we spent most of our time waiting until we can sing a song. We had to get upset first before they gave us a discount. The overall experience was so disappointing.

Every now and then, Joey and I get the itch to sing (or should I say murder?) a couple of songs! Music Match in Ortigas Home Depot is our first choice! Not only is it conveniently located, there's also a lot of free parking! The rooms are always clean and nice for the price and the staff is always very helpful! The food is cheap, but could honestly be better. One of the best things about this place? The packages! You can get a room for 5 at P1,700 (I think) for 3 hours. That comes with 10 beers (your choice of what kind, you can mix and match) and finger food more than enough for 5! Talk about a good deal! Are we coming back? Definitely!

My barkada loves to sing and they become so competitive while at it. You'd have to know though that…read morenot all of them are singers, they are just people who love to sing, out-of-tune or not. Music Match is what I consider the more affordable option when it comes to karaoke. Coming from a barkada who loves karaoke, we'd probably tried most karaoke venues in the Tomas Morato area. While we do have our favorites, Music Match comes as a close bet for their affordable prices. Compared to other karaoke venues that charge by the hour per person, Music Match charges by the hour per room. We like to cram ourselves in small rooms because we're extremely close like that. Sound system, microphones, leather chairs, food and drinks are all OK, but their services is always spot-on. For that impromptu karaoke session, Music Match never fails to deliver what we need.

That's why when my friend decided to celebrate his birthday in Good Times Karaoke, I was super game. This has been scheduled and re-scheduled and re-scheduled, because back then, it was raining like the world was ending. It almost got cancelled at one point, but good thing, we found a day when the sky wasn't planning on drowning the metro for once that whole week. My friends and I are what you can call...an unconventional karaoke bunch. It's never not encouraged to make up your own version of songs. We've done opera, Pavarotti, rap, growl, and something as hella weird as a singing British news anchor. We also loved really unconventional karaoke songs, like The Lonely Island, whose songs amongst all the karaoke places I've been to over the years were only found here, at Center Stage, very unexpectedly. It was a super fun night singing (pardon my friench) songs with explicit content, among others (otherwise known as "songs nobody can understand and appreciate but me cause they're in a language other than English"). All in all, it was a break everyone very much needed, all thanks to Good Times's very awesome selection of songs! Oh, did I mention there was a humongous teddy bear sitting down outside in the couches?

I really need to start memorizing more songs. Sure, I've got some of my t-swift songs down pat (I…read moredon't care what you say I rock it) but my friends are starting to notice that I belt out the same tunes every time we do karaoke. I guess that's the problem when most of the music I listen to is either instrumental or unavailable, but it's getting quite worrying how my set list has shrunk over the years. Still, it's there's nothing quite like karaoke, and Good Times is a good place to break your lungs. They have large rooms that can accommodate a small baranggay, and their playlists are often updated. The food is somewhat lacking and the booze limited, but once you're out of breath there's a good chance you won't notice.
