I do a fair amount of image editing and retouching as part of my job and you've completely destroyed those photo in your samples above. They were taken indoors so when you push the white balance all the way back they start to look completely unnatural. Keep some of the orange tinge in the photos as this is the actual lighting in such nightime envrionmnets. Even worse you've over processed the exposure correction so that everything's too bright and blown out. Watch people's skin tones, the point of this kind of work is not to make them look like the undead. More than anything, watch the midtones - you've crunched the photos into very unnatural looking high contrast images.
