Charles Barkley strikes a unique note during Christmas karaoke

Sir Charles has the most unique approach to singing karaoke songs. He doesn’t focus as much on matching the tune. Instead, Barkley sings for an audience of one – himself. And he certainly had the best time while singing his Christmas song. Unfortunately, the same thing can’t be said for his co-hosts and fans.

Instead of singing with rhythm, the former NBA MVP went on to read the karaoke lyrics to his listeners. Ernie Johnson, who anticipated it to some extent, couldn’t resist interrupting Barkley to ask if he could try catching up with the tune. The newly-crowned Sports Broadcasting Hall of Famer asked, “Hold it, You wanna go with the music?”

To which Sir Charles confidently stated that he was already going with the music. He gets all the points for confidence. Johnson and the guests couldn’t contain their laughter as Barkley continued to sing his hilariously off-key rendition of the Christmas song. Here is the clip, in case you missed it.

Fans have had enough of Charles Barkley’s karaoke

From statements like “Tragic” to requests like “Please stop this,” it seems that the Chuckster has gone Grinch-mode and stolen the Christmas joy from more than a few fans. 

“Frosty the Snowman” is a song older than Charles Barkley himself. And one of the carol’s many fans could only imagine how the snowman would feel upon hear Chuck’s rendition. “Frosty disappointed rn.”

Since 1950, the jingle has been a staple of the festive season. But maybe not for much longer. Another listener pleaded, “Crap. Just let the snowman melt at this point.”
