Teens and Karaoke

By: Sue Bond

Home karaoke systems have been around for at least a decade, however with "American Idol" and other television shows experiencing soaring ratings, it's no wonder that they're enjoying a revival. Everybody from young children to those in middle age and older are taking up the karaoke microphone and crooning to their favorite songs.With so many folks wanting to become the next big name, it makes sense to generate more ways for us to sing in the retreat of our own residence. With so many options offered, how do we identify which karaoke machine to choose for home?

Customary Karaoke Singing Machine

The traditional singing machine comes with a microphone and hooks up to your television. You pop in a karaoke CD or cassette into the karaoke player and it displays the words to the songs on your television. You sing with the music by means of the microphone. You hear your singing through either the television speakers or built-in speakers in the karaoke machine. This type of home karaoke music player is rather cumbersome and not very convenient to move. If you want portability, you will need to choose a different system.

Stand-alone Karaoke Machine

The stand-alone karaoke machine is usually a small black and white screen with speakers and a microphone. You can read the lyrics on the small screen. The small black and white screen is the main negative aspect. An additional inconvenience of the traditional karaoke singing machines and the stand-alone models is that you're restricted in the tunes you can play. You have to wait for well-liked tunes to come out on karaoke CDs or cassettes before you can commence singing them.

Karaoke Microphone

The Karaoke is packaged as only a microphone. It comes with around three dozen tunes already loaded and you can also load MP3 downloads. While this type of home karaoke music player is more convenient to move, without plugging it into your television or mp3 player, there's no way to read the words. You will be singing the words from memory.

Mp3 Karaoke/PC Karaoke

You can download songs along with particular software that will allow you to make use of your mp3 player and PC as a karaoke system. There is an option to download the tunes with or without the lyrics. The mp3 karaoke is in essence, a handheld karaoke machine and you don't need to be near a television to use it. As well, you can download and play any tune, even the current hits. For most of us, this is the option that best suits our needs.
