Sing-a-long

For those who aren't fond of Karaoke but still want to have a sing at parties, there's now SingStar - which works a little like Karaoke - words on a screen - but it's based on getting the tune and notes right as well. It's a Playstation 2 "game series" and the only thing that could be better is the Playstation 3 version, which apparently has microphones which are unwired and you can download any song you want from the internet for use with SingStar. That was the word at the Fancy Dress party we went to where the SingStar was a feature. Obviously we don't get out enough because it appears that this happens a lot at parties (ie group singing) these days. It's amazing isn't it, that we appear to have come full circle with entertainment ... instead of congregating around the piano for a sing-a-along now, people gather around the PlayStation? Idol may have something to do with this.
