THIS ROUND, TEAM FEMALE DISCOVERS OUR INNER SUPERSTARS AS WE VISIT THREE DIFFERENT KARAOKE OUTLETS IN THE KLANG VALLEY.
THE BALLROOM
Reviewed by Arielle Yen, Editorial Assistant
For a ‘girls’ day out’
“Located on the fourth floor of Jaya Shopping Centre, Petaling Jaya, The Ballroom is a bit of a hole-in-the-wall. In fact, despite having visited the mall several times, I had no idea that this one-stop entertainment centre even existed. But when I found out about it from my colleague Joan, I immediately wanted to check it out. Unlike your average karaoke joint, The Ballroom also houses pool tables, old-school pinball machines and even a few bowling alleys! As fun as the other activities seemed, we were most keen to try out the karaoke.
When I arrived with my colleagues, we were ushered into The Ballroom’s VIP karaoke room. Unlike the usual cramped setups, the room is well-lit, spacious and air-conditioned, with a large projector screen. In fact, the seven of us could fit comfortably onto the room’s four sofas! The room is fairly soundproof (and the location’s quite quiet) so there weren’t many disturbances. There’s a button that alerts the staff if you need assistance, which came in very handy.
The karaoke system is quite sophisticated: its wide, modern touch screen was easy for us to navigate. However, I found that it was lacking the latest hits (where was my Ed Sheeran? They only had one of his songs!). If you’re looking to belt out current hits, then this isn’t quite the place for you, although it’s a treasure trove of sleepover favourites and major throwback tunes, like old school Britney Spears or the Spice Girls; you’ll definitely have a great time scrolling through! It was really fun revisiting the music we used to play at parties or listen to on our iPods, discmans or cassette players (yes, we really are that old!).
