singing soul. Bring your bathroom singing prowess into Dove's
world's first karaoke-in-the-shower and share that passion with
the world. We start tmr from 12pm - 8pm at VivoCity till next
friday so come on down, bring your friends, family, anyone and
everyone! Make it an event you'll talk about and look back on
with much fondness for it is MORE than just another karaoke
session :)

So what are you waiting for?
Enough practice in the shower at home already.

real singing self!
