The ultimate karaoke guide 2020: 14 cheapest karaoke spots in Singapore with the best deals

It is 1am. You have lost your voice, damaged your ears, and possibly sprained your neck.

Yet, you feel victorious and energised, ready to belt out Queen's Don't Stop Me Now for the sixth time in a single night with your cluster of mates.

A favourite pastime of any true-blue Singaporean, karaoke is a safe place where you're free to sing off-key, while pretending to be serenading to a stadium-sized crowd.

It is the perfect group activity that is able to forge the deepest of bonds between the unlikeliest of friends.

Needless to say, an hour at the karaoke studio is not going to be enough, but before you splurge on a five-hour, sing-along rampage, take a gander at our rundown on the cheapest KTV spots in Singapore.

CHEAPEST KTVS IN SINGAPORE  

1. K.STAR KARAOKE (ORCHARD CENTRAL)

Between the two outlets of K.Star Karaoke (Suntec City and Orchard Central), the latter is more budget-friendly with prices that start from $20 for an hour in a room that can fit up to six singers.

That means each person only has to pay about $3.30 for 60 minutes of fun. Blow off some steam after work and enjoy the cheapest rates before 8pm with a couple of colleagues.

If you're hosting a mega-party, they've got VVIP rooms that can hold as many as 65 merrymakers.

2. PLAYLIST KTV

What sets Playlist KTV apart from the other karaoke studios is its song selection system, which you can control on your phone.

6. TEN DOLLAR KTV CLUB

Though this KTV brand is known for its $10 offerings, as its name suggests, there are various taxes that aren't specified on the menu, jacking up the cost of each room based on its maximum capacity. The smallest studio goes for $11 per person for a five-hour karaoke session, which at the end of the day, is still relatively cheaper than your average KTV club.

Price List:

For $12, you'll get the studio all to yourself for nine hours. You don't have to stay indoors the whole time either. Leave mid-way for a quick bite and return to the same session without any additional costs.

Of course, who could forget everyone's go-to karaoke joint, Teo Heng? This franchise-known for its presence in the heartlands-charges by the room. "The more, the merrier" is thus an adage that rings true here.

The fees vary between locations, but generally they start from $8 per hour for the smallest room, shared between four singers. You can also book a five-hour session (applicable to studios of all sizes), and get the next hour free.

Price List:
