Karaoke CD With Large Hit Collections
By Nikos L Maxwell
Are you an alto, a soprano or a tenor? Will you make
a cute country icon, a sweet pop princess or an edgy
rock karaoke star? When you are just getting started
exploring your vocal chords, it helps to have the right
karaoke CD at your disposal so you can try a wide variety
of songs and practice defining your own style.
You can drop $200 to get a 30+ karaoke disc collection
that has it all or you can carefully peruse a few of
your favorite genres, buying individually. With the
number of karaoke downloads available, you may decide
to even make your own custom mix.
With regard to karaoke CDs, few compilations got people
as excited about karaoke music as the DKKaraoke collection
that came out in the nineties, featuring 25 discs of
karaoke hits, spanning several decades of music. For
instance, you could get Frank Sinatra’s "New York
New York" and Dolly Parton’s "9 to 5"
on the same CD as Bon Jovi’s "Bad Medicine"
and U2’s "I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking
For."
Serious About Karaoke Music
From slow ballads and lounge tracks to crooning love
songs and shout-it-out rock karaoke, there is something
for everyone on these CDs. This is the ultimate collection
for anyone who is serious about karaoke music and wants
to have all the best karaoke songs at their disposal.
Entertainment Weekly recently published their list
of "top karaoke songs" to help you make your
own karaoke CD. Not surprisingly, the B52’s rowdy "Love
Shack" made the list, as did Bon Jovi’s "Livin’
On a Prayer," which features the chorus that every
drunk loves to shout out, whether they were born in
the eighties or not.
Classic Hits From The Eighties And Seventies
Other eighties classics like Madonna’s "Like a
Virgin," The Eurythmic’s "Sweet Dreams (Are
Made of These)," Cyndi Lauper’s "Time After
Time," Journey’s "Don’t Stop Believin,"
Bonnie Tyler’s "Total Eclipse of the Heart,"
Guns N’ Roses’ "Sweet Child O’ Mine," Bananarama’s
"Venus," Joan Jett’s "I Love Rock N Roll,"
Whitney Houston’s "I Wanna Dance With Somebody,"
Blondie’s "Call Me" and "Every Breath
You Take" by the Police also made the list.
Representing the seventies, The Pretender’s "Brass
In Pocket" (1979), Carly Simon’s "You’re So
Vain" (1973) and Gloria Gaynor’s "I Will Survive"
(1978) are some of the oldest surviving karaoke hits.
The only newcomer is Kelly Clarkson, with "Since
U Been Gone."
