Jackie Smith is like the United Nations of karaoke, joining Halifax and Dartmouth bars together in blissful, off-key renditions of “Love Shack” and “Brown-Eyed Girl.” Really, karaoke hosts like Smith should be commended by Peter Kelly---no one ever gets pounded during “My Heart Will Go On.” Until every home is outfitted with a Wii karaoke, my god, we will keep the peace, soak up that liquid courage, make asses out of ourselves in front of strangers, mess up the words to “Don’t Stop Believing” and keep giving out this award to the best karaoke hosts in this city.
First runner up: Mimi Andriopoulis
Second runner up: Laurie the Guy
