About this episode

It's Episode 61 of the Friday Night Karaoke Podcast, and the theme of the week was #FNKBadRomance

Hey there, FNK stars! It's time to dive deep into the tunes of heartache and liberation with our post-Valentine's Day special, "Caught in a Bad Romance"! Forget the flowers and chocolates; we're bringing you the raw, unfiltered side of love with our very own FNK members laying down their best breakup and heartbreak covers. Tune in, sing along, and maybe shed a tear or two with us. It's all about the music, the memories, and moving on. Join us for this rollercoaster of emotions, and remember, in the end, it's all about hitting the high notes – in life and in karaoke!

  •  Marc Cross kicks us off with Alan Jackson's "I Don't Even Know Your Name," setting the tone for tales of love gone wrong. 
  •  Jennifer Adams takes the mic with Pink's "Who Knew," reminding us all that hindsight's 20/20 when it comes to lost love. 
  •  Mimi Walt & Cynthia Van Belle team up to unleash the fury with Alanis Morissette's "You Oughta Know." Brace yourselves; it's going to get intense!
