Darth Groovy Posted December 21, 2004 Posted December 21, 2004 kar·a·o·ke ( P ) Pronunciation Key (kâr-k) n. 1. A music entertainment system providing prerecorded accompaniment to popular songs that a performer sings live, usually by following the words on a video screen. 2. The performance of such music. [Japanese : kara, void, empty + oke(sutora), orchestra (from English orchestra).] Ok, so I found out recently that X-Box has a version of PS2's "Karaoke Revolution" which features a mic, and downloadable songs over X-Box live. Most likely, I am going to get this game with some money I got for Christmas, however, I was wondering if there were any other cool pc games, or websites for Karaoke? This is silly, but it IS one of my favorite things to do. I am a complete ham on the microphone!
Rogue15 Posted December 21, 2004 Posted December 21, 2004 lol i got that like forever ago. only used it a few times just messing around with it. i like taking lyrics out of burned songs and just listening to the beat, it's cool.

You can do that with that game? OR are you talking about this ?
obi Posted December 21, 2004 Posted December 21, 2004 My gf is OBSESSED with karaoke. 99% of the time I go to her house, I have to sing (or listen to her sing) a bunch of songs. I really don't mind it, because she can actually sing. It takes away kiss-time though. =(
Rogue15 Posted December 21, 2004 Posted December 21, 2004 yeah you can do that with the xbox music mixer.

Astrotoy7 Posted December 22, 2004 Posted December 22, 2004 well, you mightn't be too bad to listen to Grooves, seeing you were in a band n all....but as a general rule I hate terrible singing demonstrated at the majority of karaoke ive been unwillingly exposed to.... when Im in a festive mood, I prefer to be surrounded by strippers Mind you, this does place certain impediments on one's bank balance mtfbwya
Darth Groovy Posted December 22, 2004 Author Posted December 22, 2004 I suppose you are right, it is like a boxer going to a street fight, but since I never had a record contract, I never considered myself a pro, and therefore, I love to sing. The fact that this game scores you and junk, I hear is what makes it fun!

Sorry for the brag... *shrugs* I guess they have to find some way to shut you up! I just wanna see groovy on dance dance revolution, see if his moves are up to his voice...

Darth Groovy Posted January 4, 2005 Author Posted January 4, 2005 *bumped to the max* Anyways got these today: Paid for with a gift certificate from my sister's fiance. Paid for with a christmas check from my grandmother. I didn't get a chance to mess with the music mixer as much as I would have like too. I got really caught up in the sheer fun of the Karaoke Revolution game. Well it scores you, and the first time I played the game, I landed two gold records: 1 for "Billie Jean", and another for "Bizzarre Love Triangle" And one platinum for "This Is How You Remind Me" the game is pretty fun, and works GREAT with the headset, as opposed to the microphone. I like how the band members fit the style of music you are playing.
Mike Windu Posted January 4, 2005 Posted January 4, 2005 Dance Dance Revolution is where it's at baby! Haven't tried Karaoke revolution yet. My parents already have a karaoke machine that can support CDs and huge laser discs, so I just use that

There are a million dime a dozen karaoke machines out there, but from what I understand, the good ones cost a pretty penny. I had my eye on one before the holidays, but it was just WAY out of my price range. Someday though, who knows?
El Sitherino Posted January 5, 2005 Posted January 5, 2005 I used to go to a japanese karaoke bar. It was fun as hell, just get wasted on sake and sing like noones listening.

El Sitherino Posted January 5, 2005 Posted January 5, 2005 if it's a japanese song, it's sung in japanese. But mostly it's non japanese stuff. Infact we (my friends and I) loaded it up with some punk songs. We got a few looks while singing some misfits songs, namely last caress.

Tell me you did "Where Eagles Dare", or "Die, Die My Darling", and I will give you my first born child!

W00t misfits! >_> I'd load up some Burzum and scream my lungs out

My friend started die, die my darling, until some jackass yelled "woooo metallica rocks" so we skipped the song and proceeded to mock the guy by laughing at him while singing. Yeah, people should be shot in the leg for that kind of idiocy, but whatever.

The fun is always over when the fat chicks get up and start singing "I Will Survive". It's totally true!

Oh well, it's fun to drink and mock people.
toms Posted January 6, 2005 Posted January 6, 2005 Japanese Karaoke bars rock... especially the ones in shinjuku. They aren't like UK ones, they consist of loads of rooms that you rent, each with a machine of its own (and a phone to order beer and sake)... and sometimes a great view over the bustle and neon of tokyo. The advantages are twofold... no opportunity for some fat chick to sing I will survive, and us shy-retiring types can sing without the fear of embarasing ourselves infront of strangers (just our mates!).
Lady Jedi Posted January 7, 2005 Posted January 7, 2005 Originally posted by Darth Groovy *bumped to the max* And one platinum for "This Is How You Remind Me" That song is AWESOME! From what I've heard of your stuff, your voice would definately work with that one. You record it and PM me a linksy, I'd give it a listen. Whaddya say?
