Some artists have been known to show up in a karaoke bar with friends and get on stage just for fun, but Justin Moore, who just released “Home Sweet Home” off the upcoming Motley Crue tribute album, says he is not one of those guys. In fact he says, “I hate karaoke.” He explains, “I think anything you do for a livin’ you don’t really, necessarily go out and do for fun. We have a great job. We have a really fun job, but for instance, I don’t go to concerts when I’m off. It’s just like goin’ to work.”

While Justin won’t get on a stage and sing in a karaoke bar he does clarify, “I have been known to be in karaoke bars late at night, but I’m usually listenin’ to other people sing.”

This summer Justin is busy singing on real stages across the country on his own tour dates and as part of Miranda Lambert’s Platinum Tour.
