The Karaoke Forum

It always starts innocently enough as a singing contest. What it turns into is a gigantic business killing mess. It becomes a beauty contest. A popularity contest. Who patronizes the bar the most contest. Who's local and a regular contest? Who spends a lot of money here contest? How many locals wil...

the main point i make about the value of crowd opinion is that on the surface, karaoke seems to be all about singing. and at first, for me, it was. now i feel it's more about fun and bonding when done at home. in the context of a public competition, i think it becomes much more about entertainment w...

[quote="wiseguy]Whether or not stage presence should be a judging criteria is debatable, but it is absolutely impossible to run a fair contest if crowd response figures in.[/quote] i agree the crowd probably wouldn't be fair in certain contest, e.g. if you're trying to judge based on a very nar...

wiseguy, i suppose as long as everyone knows the rules up front, and as long as the rules are consistently applied, then the contest would be fair regardless of what the rules are. personally, i'd prefer for stage presence and crowd response to count since i don't think my voice alone would carry me...

thanks! i'll check it out when i get my machine out of storage.

do you know which models play cdg?

i don't know the model. i'm in the middle of a house move and all of my stuff is in storage. i should get it out before the end of january. it would be great if my model plays cdg.

i'll also look into purchashing cdg discs-- which means i'll probably have to buy a new karaoke machine. but before i do, i'll post a request for assistance in the hardware section of this forum.

I've never heard of the marata karaoke machine. What type of song files does it play? Will it play karaoke CDG discs? my mistake. it's called malata -- i don't have the box it came in anymore. i don't know if the machine plays cdg discs. my guess would be it doesn't since a buddy of mine bought me ...

thanks for the quick reply, wiseguy! it's much appreciated. i was given a marata karaoke machine as a gift. it has like 20K songs (mostly in chinese and other non-english languages). the only thing is it's missing a lot of songs i like and i can never get updates to current hits. hence my question. ...

Is there software out there that does this? Thanks.
