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).
Guys sometimes like to expose their sentimental side with slow tracks like “When A Man Loves A Woman” (Percy Sledge), “A Groovy Kind of Love” (Phil Collins), “Just the Way You Are” (Billy Joel), “I Will Do Anything For Love” (Meatloaf), “Brown Eyed Girl” (Van Morrison), “Have I Told You Lately” (Rod Stewart), “All My Life” (KC & Jo Jo) or “I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing” (Aerosmith). Other times, guys like karaoke music that speaks to their inner bad boy of rock n’ roll. Try “Every Rose Has Its Thorn” (Poison), “Girls, Girls, Girls” (Motley Crue), “Paradise City” (Guns N’ Roses), “Livin On A Prayer” (Bon Jovi), “You Shook Me All Night Long” (AC/DC), “Here I Go Again” (Whitesnake), “It’s My Body” (Alice Cooper) or “You Give Love A Bad Name” (Bon Jovi).
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.”

Instead of purchasing a special karaoke system, which only lets you sing karaoke, you can use a PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, Nintendo GameCube, Wii, Xbox or Xbox 360 to not only sing karaoke, but also to play a whole host of other games as well. On consoles like the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360, users can also connect to the internet to play against other people, upload new features and chat with other members. Karaoke Revolution combines karaoke songs and American Idol style judging to create a fun game for all ages.
If you like Rock Band or Guitar Hero, then you will have a ball with Karaoke Revolution, in which you play an on-screen character who is performing a live concert. As with any video game character, you can customize the outfits, hair color and other features to your liking. The song lyrics will scroll right-to-left at the bottom of the screen in traditional karaoke format, while a pitch arrow shows whether you are in the correct range or not. If you are singing your karaoke hits well, then the audience will cheer for you and the crowd meter will be through-the-roof! But watch out because if you are bombing, you just might get booed right off stage!
Since its inception, Karaoke Revolution has released four other versions. Volume 2 introduces a “medley mode,” which challenges you to sing a series of song excerpts to test your skill level. Volume 3 comes with a “duet mode,” where two vocalists can sing simultaneously, with each individual capable of contributing 50,000 points toward a perfect score. Karaoke Revolution Party added fun, unrelated mini-games (like volleyball or stage diving), as well as a “Sing and Dance” mode which uses a dance karaoke pad controller. Karaoke Revolution Presents American Idol added judges, commentary and special stages.
Karaoke Revolution Party, one of the top-selling games, has some of the best karaoke songs that will get your whole house rocking. Who doesn’t laugh when someone sings “Brick House” by the Commodores or Wild Cherry’s “Play That Funky Music?” On a more serious note, lovers can croon over “I Had the Time of my Life” from the movie Dirty Dancing or Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You.” Rockers will be happy to see some Joan Jett “I Love Rock N’ Roll,” The Rolling Stones’ “Start Me Up” and Incubus’s “Drive.” Let us not forget a little dash of cheesiness either, because you know someone will choose Neil Diamond’s “Sweet Caroline” (bah, bah, bah) or Culture Club’s “Do You Really Want To Hurt Me.” Why buy karaoke CDs when you can step it up a notch with the entire game that can be enjoyed by your whole family and your friends?
