An Overview of Karaoke DVDs – Music Formats, Choices & Options

October 12th, 2009
1 Comment »


Many families are buying karaoke machines for home entertainment. It’s a great way for the family to get together and have a real fun night. This of course means you have to buy some karaoke DVDs, otherwise there is no need for the karaoke machine. What makes this so much fun is when people are singing karaoke, its their voice that stands out they are not singing over the vocals. Although they can if they want to.

Karaoke DVD’s are a little different then regular DVDs. They come in a variety of different ways. You can get 16 song DVDs. Here you will have a full selection of music. In addition these DVDs have the graphic scripting included on them. This is what makes them different than the regular music cds that you buy. It’s the graphic scripting that allows the lyrics to show up on the TV or the monitor. Often the DVDs come with a book that includes all the lyrics for each and every song on the DVD.

Then you can buy Karaoke DVDs that have 8+8 songs for example. This is a 16 track DVD. You get 8 songs with the lead vocal, and you get 8 songs without the vocal. This is used when you want to learn the songs, and its sometimes easier to start off singing with the vocalist. Then as you become familiar with the tones etc. you can switch over to the non vocal. Its an excellent way to learn new songs.

With some karaoke DVDs the lyrics will appear on the screen and highlighted in time with the music. Colors will swirl around and pulsate with the rhythm. This just adds excitement to your performance. It sort of helps you stay in tune a bit as well. Its like the old bouncing ball music that used to be played when we were children, so we could follow along. It may help you not lose your place.

One thing is for sure, you are certainly not going to find any shortage of choice in music. The amount you have to choose from will almost be overwhelming. Now making the choice is easier if you are running your own karaoke business. If its for home use, you don’t need near the selection that the KDJ is going to require. Its still nice to build a collection though. Which you will over time no doubt. Karaoke can become addictive.

One way you may want to consider buying your DVDs, is over the internet. There are a lot of good reasons to do this. First all you can take your time and browse through the various selections. You can narrow down your search just to the music you like. It can be much more cost effective. When you have been out to off line stores spending hours going through DVDs, you get tired ,and in the end just grabbing whatever is there. When you are shopping on line, you can take your time. Even leave and come back to it. This way you can shop for the bargains.

The History & Evolution of Karaoke Songs – Music Through the Ages

October 11th, 2009
No Comments »


So karaoke songs are just like any other songs right? Well yes and no. They have the same tunes but they are not by the same artists. Karaoke music is never performed by the same artists that prepared it for the vocalists. That’s why you will notice a big difference in the same music being offered by different Karaoke disc jockeys. It all depends on which label they buy.

You can find almost every type of karaoke song that you could possibly want. It has become just as popular as our standard forms of cds, and DVDs. Again you will find that you probably will form certain preferences to the labels. You can find karaoke songs that will have the vocalist that you can sing along with, or just the background music or even both.

There are always favorite by the majorities. In 2007 it was “I will survive” Gloria Gaynor lyrics, second in the running is “I got you babe” cher lyrics, then the third is “Sweet Caroline” Neil Diamond lyrics. These are pretty interesting choices being as they are not heavy rock or pop, and they have been around for years. Last on a list of about 50 is “we built this city”.

Karaoke songs are gaining a lot of popularity among the Christian sector. it’s a wonderful way for a church soloist to practice his/her music. It provides great background music for choirs that haven’t a music system. Its even perfect for the church audience to sing along with.

These songs can also be beneficial for children to practice their speech with. More often than not children find it easier to sing then to talk, and by getting them to sing it may help them with their pronunciation.

In 2007 there was a general concessions of what was the worst songs. Starting at the bottom of the list. The 10th on this list was “Friends In Low Places” Lyrics by Garth Brooks. The general idea of this one was to get everyone listening to join in and sing with you. Fifth place was “Baby Got Back” by Sir Mixalot. Then finally the grand winner of the worst song for 2007 is awarded to “Love Shack” by B-52s.
So as one can see there are the same trends, and ups and downs in karaoke songs just like the regular songs.

Then there’s the most over done ones. Songs that everybody wants to do and feels most comfortable with. “Crazy” By Patsy Kline, is a well loved song. Probably that’s why this one is such a popular one. “Delta Dawn” by Tanya Tucker. This one is one that almost everyone has heard, and it often the first one that comes to mind when going over the charts to choose from.” Summer Nights” by John Travola and Olivia Newton John is dubbed as probably being one of the most popular duets every sung.

There are many factors that people consider when they are picking the song they want to sing at a Karaoke and often is not based on whether they have the voice for that song. Its usually based on, because they just like that song the best, it sounds like its going to be the easiest to sing, or they like the artist.

Family Tree – Chart Your Family History

September 13th, 2009
No Comments »


Have you ever wondered if you’ve come from royalty? Or maybe you’ve just heard time and again from your old Aunt Gertrude that you look just like your great-grandmother. It sparks your interest, doesn’t it? Nowadays, there’s a new growing trend to discover your own story — where you’ve come from, if you have any long-lost relatives, and even to discover old family stories that have been buried along with your ancestors. With these discoveries brings a wonderful gift to give to your posterity. It can also give one a sense of belonging — especially if there is little or no family still around. To delve into something like this may seem overwhelming and not knowing where to start can be a huge stumbling block. Building a family tree to organize your family history is the easiest place to start, but let’s go over some key points first.

Let’s define what a Family Tree even is. A family tree is a chart that shows family connections. So basically, it’s a genealogical record of your ancestors. It will usually contain the family members’ names, birth dates, death dates (if applicable), and the countries or states where they’ve lived. Each person in this chart is connected to the other people in the chart via lines (thus the tree visual). These lines or connections lead to anyone that is connected to them through a familial relationship whether by blood or marriage. How do I go about drawing a Family Tree? We’ve moved ahead over the years, and no longer do you have to come up with this from scratch — there are numerous resources. You can get a family tree template, where you simply fill in the names and dates. Usually these templates will give directions so you know where and what to fill in. These templates are easy to find and not very expensive. Check out bookstores or office supply stores. I’ve also seen them at scrapbooking stores. There are also some web sites set up that sell all kinds of genealogical supplies. Another option is to download a family tree chart. You add names and dates all electronically and it’s usually very simple to see exactly what information is missing. This way can also enable you to complete everything over the internet so you can email relatives all the information you’ve accumulated. What about information to put in the Family Tree? So you know your grandma and great-grandpa’s name, but you can’t remember your great-uncle’s name. The internet is an incredible tool for us. You can do genealogical searches enabling you to look through information-filled family history databases, where many of the connections are right there.

If this is a hobby that fascinates you, then get started — the resources are all out there!

Karaoke Music Suggestions You Will Love

August 4th, 2009
No Comments »


When discussing karaoke music, we have to look at two different aspects. On one hand, you’ll need to choose the right karaoke hits for your collection to ensure everyone’s satisfied and your karaoke party doesn’t turn into an awkward “So, who is going next” scenario. On the other hand, you will need to consider where and how to buy these songs, either on CD, DVD, CD G or mp3. Perhaps you may not even want to buy them at all, instead opting for getting your fix of karaoke online.

Girls and guys have their favorite karaoke hits that have withstood the test of time, so be sure to add the following favorites to your karaoke song collection. Girls like empowering songs of survival, enduring sexuality and sass. To appease these spunky vixens include such tunes as “These Boots Were Made For Walkin’” (Nancy Sinatra), “I Will Survive” (Gloria Gaynor) “Hit Me With Your Best Shot” (Pat Benatar), “Venus” (Bananarama), “I Love Rock N Roll” (Joan Jett), “I’m Just A Girl” (No Doubt/Gwen Stefani), “Like A Virgin” (Madonna), “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” (Cyndi Lauper), “Feel Like A Woman” (Shania Twain), “You’re So Vain” (Carly Simon), “She Works Hard For The Money” (Donna Summer), “Respect” (Aretha Franklin), “Sweet Dreams” (Eurythmics), “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” (Whitney Houston), “Listen To Your Heart” (Roxette) and “Black Velvet” (Alannah Myles).

Karaoke music for guys should be fun, macho and hilarious. Fun karaoke songs for them might include “Sweet Child O’ Mine” (Guns N’ Roses), “Sharp-Dressed Man” (ZZ Top), “Werewolves of London” (Warren Zevon), “Sultans of Swing,” (Dire Straits), “Bohemian Rhapsody” (Queen) and “Celebrate” (Kool & The Gang). “Man’s man” karaoke songs might be “Girls, Girls, Girls” (Motley Crue), “You Shook Me All Night Long” (AC/DC), “You Give Love A Bad Name” (Bon Jovi), “Macho Man” (The Village People), “Baby Got Back” (Sir Mix-a-lot), “I’m Too Sexy” (Right Said Fred), “Hurt So Good” (John Mellencamp) and “Born To Be Wild” (Steppenwolf). Funny songs include “Because I Got High” (Afroman), “Billie Jean” (Michael Jackson) or “Friends In Low Places” (Garth Brooks), although the funniest karaoke songs usually aren’t intentional.

When it comes to karaoke music, there are just some songs that are must-haves for your collection. Even though you may not belt out Neil Diamond’s cheesy “Sweet Caroline” as you’re getting ready in the morning, you’d be crazy not to have it at your next karaoke party. Everyone will be chorusing the “bah bah bah’s” to make the karaoke party even more fun. Another famous group sing-a-long is Bon Jovi’s “Livin’ On A Prayer,” with everyone from 15-50 shouting out “whoaaaaa-ohhhhh, livin on a prayer” like an eighties rocker. Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin” is so corny it’s perfect for your next karaoke get together and don’t think you’ll get through the night without someone choosing Van Morrison’s “Brown Eyed Girl,” where all participants sing “sha-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-lad-di-da.”

Deaf Karaoke

July 28th, 2009
No Comments »


There are perhaps few things more embarrassing than being taken out to a karaoke bar and made to sing in front of an expectant audience — especially if you are tone deaf. A tone-deaf person lacks the ability to decipher between notes. Thus, a tone-deaf person is incapable of replicating them. In common parlance, tone deafness refers to a person’s incapability of reproducing musical notes. However, contrary to popular opinion, such incapacity is a reflection of sheer lack of talent or musical training than any kind of ailment. Still, tone-deaf karaoke singers are an amusing lost.Tone-deaf karaoke can be absolute fun, especially if you are not the one on stage. Discordant notes and off-key vocals may not amuse the music aficionado, but for light hearted fun on a stress busting weekend, there is nothing more entertaining than listening to tone deaf karaoke singer.

However, there have been reports of tone-deaf people going into severe bouts of depression after their tryst with karaoke singing. Yet, they are not the only ones suffering from this malady. People with normal singing ability can tone deaf on stage after having a drink too many and coerced into singing by their friends.

Nevertheless, advancement in technology guarantees help in all walks of life.

Weekends and year-end office parties may not be as terrorizing for the tone-deaf singer ass it once was. SK Telecom, Korea, have claimed to create some sort of an online cure for the tone-deaf karaoke singer. It is a mobile that consists of three parts: identifying, tone-deaf curing and music treatment. The tone-deaf diagnosis will show how sensitive is a person’s ear is to sound; more specifically tone, beat and rhythm. The curing heightens the sensitivity, and the music treatment develops the singing talent.
