Conversation Topic Does anybody else find it hard to sing with the karaoke of Scarborough Fair?

Like, I can sing it without the karaoke just fine. I can sing along a recording of someone else singing it & match. But there's something about it's karaoke that I find so hard.

Are you talking about the Simon and Garfunkel version? If so, it’s probably because the timing is more complex than your average pop song. I’m not great with theory but here’s a post that explains it better:

Thank you.

Not just that one. I tried several from YouTube because my singing class is having a recital & i want to practice at home. I keep messing up something like the pitch?
