Karaoke can make you look foolish. But showing your vulnerabilities can work to make you more popular.
See this excellent post from Barking up the Wrong Tree which suggests ways to improve difficult relationships, including

- Show you care: Apologize for the rain if you have to. Crazy as it sounds, it works.

- Ask for advice: It flatters them and makes you look smarter, not dumber.
- When you apologize, promise to change: It makes a huge difference.
