Music played by amateurs with below-average musical skills

"I believe a good Karaoke disc must contain well-played music. It's because beautiful music will make you want to sing and dance. I bought one pack of CD-G with the title "Billboard top 10 Karaoke" and another Karaoke DVD, all made by the same company called partytyme karaoke from the local Walmart. The music is poorly performed. They're not close to the one played by the original band. I can tell they're peformed by amateurs whose music skills are below average.



There are companies that make very good CD+G and DVD karaoke dics such as Pocket songs, Chartbuster, Priddis, Sunfly, Zoom, etc. When you listen to these discs, you just want to sing and dance because the music is so close to the one played by origninal artists.



The trouble is Amazon does not carry these brands. Why? I don't know. However, you can buy them from on-line stores such as dbkaraoke dot com. Their service is quick and user-friendly especially when you're asking questions. The best store, I believe is singerschoice dot ca. They're in Toronto, Canada. Their collection is huge. They have dics imported from Britain too! When I travelled there, I found out they let their customers LISTEN to ALL the dics BEFORE BUYING. As a result, I am completely satisfied with all the 10 discs I bought. I've never seen a store like that before.

Not the best price for this item

"I gave the same review for the other Billboard karaoke music. The music is not the original artists but is music "made famous by the original artist" and is only evident once you read the fine print. It seems a bit dishonest to use the Billboard Top 10 as a selling vehicle. I rated the item a 4 because the music is ok and after all it is Karaoke. Worst of all is the price--I found these at Walmart for $30."

Great collection, Works with KaraFun (PC), Vocal and Non-Voc

"Hook this up for the nephews and nieces during family get-togethers. Planning to get the other volumes as well. Works great through my player (KaraFun for PC) and having both tracks with and without vocals helps the beginners and/or children sing along."
