Karaoke Music To Please All Guests

By Nikos L Maxwell

For those who want to sing karaoke but don’t have any music, they will likely review their options and browse online, perusing the expansive collection of CDs, CD Gs and DVDs.

DKKaraoke’s collection is a great way to get started, featuring 25 discs of karaoke hits from Frank Sinatra’s "New York New York" and Dolly Parton’s "9 to 5" to Bon Jovi’s "Bad Medicine" and U2’s "I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For." Chartbuster offers compilation karaoke music with themes like Broadway, Pop, Country, Gospel, Kids, Disney, Christmas, Patriotic Anthems and Hot Hits Monthly.

The Sound Choice Star Series

The Sound Choice Star series has karaoke CDs with more modern musicians like Pearl Jam, White Zombie, Spineshank, Tool, Godsmack, Kelly Clarkson, Kid Rock and U2. Check www.amazon.com for more karaoke discs.

Girls and guys have their favorite karaoke hits that have withstood the test of time, so be sure to add the following favorites to your karaoke song collection. Girls like empowering songs of survival, enduring sexuality and sass.

Songs For The Gals And Guys

To appease these spunky vixens include such tunes as "These Boots Were Made For Walkin’" (Nancy Sinatra), "I Will Survive" (Gloria Gaynor) "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" (Pat Benatar), "Venus" (Bananarama), "I Love Rock N Roll" (Joan Jett), "I’m Just A Girl" (No Doubt/Gwen Stefani), "Like A Virgin" (Madonna), "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" (Cyndi Lauper), "Feel Like A Woman" (Shania Twain), "You’re So Vain" (Carly Simon), "She Works Hard For The Money" (Donna Summer), "Respect" (Aretha Franklin), "Sweet Dreams" (Eurythmics), "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" (Whitney Houston), "Listen To Your Heart" (Roxette) and "Black Velvet" (Alannah Myles).

Karaoke music for guys should be fun, macho and hilarious. Fun karaoke songs for them might include "Sweet Child O’ Mine" (Guns N’ Roses), "Sharp-Dressed Man" (ZZ Top), "Werewolves of London" (Warren Zevon), "Sultans of Swing," (Dire Straits), "Bohemian Rhapsody" (Queen) and "Celebrate" (Kool & The Gang). "Man’s man" karaoke songs might be "Girls, Girls, Girls" (Motley Crue), "You Shook Me All Night Long" (AC/DC), "You Give Love A Bad Name" (Bon Jovi), "Macho Man" (The Village People), "Baby Got Back" (Sir Mix-a-lot), "I’m Too Sexy" (Right Said Fred), "Hurt So Good" (John Mellencamp) and "Born To Be Wild" (Steppenwolf). Funny songs include "Because I Got High" (Afroman), "Billie Jean" (Michael Jackson) or "Friends In Low Places" (Garth Brooks), although the funniest karaoke songs usually aren’t intentional.

Stream Karaoke Online

If you are using your PC for karaoke, then you might want to simply stream karaoke online, rather than buy the music. For $10/month (or $50/year), you can gain access to unlimited karaoke music through an online music player at www.streamkaraoke.com. You’ll probably want to try the "free 7-day trial" first.

As a subscriber, you’ll be able to sing with practice vocals on or off, you’ll see full-screen lyrics and you can save play lists. However, there are other communities you might prefer that allow you the ability to record your version and share with friends. Check out www.kariokebar.com, www.redkaraoke.com, www.singsnap.com and www.ksolo.myspace.com to see what best suits your karaoke needs.
