Lips Karaoke Confirmed, Lets You Sing Any Song on Your Zune (or iPod!)

Microsoft just confirmed that Lips is not just an awkward prerelease codename but the final title of the Xbox 360 karaoke game with motion-sensing, rhinestone-encrusted microphone we've been hearing about. Most interesting though is integration with your Zune or—gasp!—iPod for loading your own songs into the game. No more complaining that your local 'oke joint isn't indie enough for you.

Latest by typoink: @robotleawesome: Exactly. I can already "karaoke" my music collection by turning on a basic voice reducer and, y'know, singing. I'd have to see how well this actually works at turning MP3s into gameplay before I'm going to get too excited. more »

Talent Show Kit Lends Some Old-Tech Chic to Your Karaoke Warblings

I'll admit it, some karaoke singers are worth listening to—from a distance—but even then my inner sound-technician always cries at their awkward mike-handling: and that's where this freestanding microphone would be great. The Crosley CR25 Talent Show Kit may even add a little old-time radio show class to karaoke with its retro looks, inspired by a 1956 Sears Wishbook. It probably can't turn you into the next Nat King Cole, but it does have microphone, amp and feedback/distortion suppression built in so at least it should sound good. Available soon for $79.95.

TuneWiki Is the Karaoke-Like Lyrics App Apple Must Include in iPhone


Lifehacker's Adam Pash (co-author of the best iPhone book with some dude called "Jason Chen") told me this weekend about TuneWiki, an iPhone application that downloads songs lyrics from the web and shows them synched with the song in real time, karaoke-style. It works great and, being a closet karaoke whore, I admit I'm hooked. Apple must include this app integrated in their next firmware update. Watch the video review and, for an alternative take, you can see Californian high school cheerleader Rosita (yes, she's as sexy as it sounds) telling its virtues after the jump: More »

Griffin's iKaraoke TunePrompter

Fans of Karaoke probably already own Griffin's iKaraoke attachment for the iPhone, but their iKaraoke TunePrompter takes singing by yourself to the next level. You can now take song lyrics and create your own Karaoke videos with them and display it on the iPod Video or the iPhone, allowing you to both watch lousy home-made videos and know what the words are to all your songs.

Get Ready to Run for Your Lives as the iSing Hits

Last week we told of something that would bring more fear to public transport users than deodorant supplies running low in the summer months. This week, we bring you the reality. iSing. iDon't Know. iWhat is the iWorld coming to, when a Karaoke version of an MP3 player hits the streets. There's a video after the jump, but we all know that the reality will be much, much worse than that. More »

iPod Karaoke Patent Brings Fear to Mass Transit Riders

Some may call this latest iPod/iPhone patent from Apple "dynamics lyrics display for portable media devices," but we call this Karaoke City. The patent details a scheme to activate "karaoke style lyrics," which then grabs lyrics and displays the lyrics in time and in sync with the music that's playing. This way, the right words are highlighted at the right time, automagically, thanks to the software that supposedly detects and matches vocals to lyrics. If they can make ANY song a karaoke song, it'll make driving to the supermarket infinitely more fun than it is now. [UnwiredView]

iNavi G1 GPS Has 3D Maps and -ohmygod- Karaoke


Those of you who feel that your car's Sat-Nav system is lacking something need to move to Korea. Or import iNavi's latest baby, the G1. As well as having a screen that can show off everything from buildings to mountains in glorious 3D, there is a geomagnetic sensor to stop you getting lost when the GPS signal trails off. But it's the entertainment side of the G1 that really rocks. I mean, REALLY. More »

Asus Z801 Karaoke Phone

Asus' Z801 Karaoke phone could be the coolest phone we've ever seen. Not for the looks, the design, the amount of megapixels, or even a fast data connection, but for its Karaoke feature. When you play back an MP3 on the Z801, you can sing along and the phone will speech-to-text what you say and display the words right on the phone. More »

Griffin iKaraoke: Yes, Dear, You Sound Exactly Like Aretha Franklin

Can't afford your own karaoke-singing robot girlfriend? Griffin's next trick is iKaraoke, a little device that sends your iPod's music to your stereo via either a line-in cable or the FM band, and somehow removes vocals and adds yours to the mix. The microphone has controls that let you pause the music, scan backward and forward and add reverb effects, and you can push a button on-the-fly and bring the music's vocals back into the mix.

doPi Karaoke Adapter For the Video iPod

The doPi iPod adapter let's you belt out Gloria Gaynor's most famous track anywhere you have an iPod. The doPi system lets you download songs from their servers in MP4 format to load onto your iPod, which then plays back the files with the lyrics appearing on the screen during the song. You know, Karaoke style. It's compatible with iTunes PC and Mac, so you're still syncing the files through your normal iTunes interface. More »

CAVS IPS-11G iPod Karaoke

The tides have turned. This is not an accessory to the iPod, but the iPod is an accessory to this. The CAV IPS-11G is an ultra-portable karaoke machine that would be terrific at drunken festivities. This karaoke player has a dock that can fit any of the dock-connecting iPods. It can also support any kind of USB storage. Plug the biznatch into your TV, hook up some microphones, lets the alcohol flow and commence making an ass out of yourself—in the key of rock, of course! – Travis Hudson More »

Sony CFD-S01 Karaoke Boom Box

Sony's looking to squeeze just a few more yen out of the CD player market with it CFD-S01. Not only does it play CDs, but it also plays cassettes! Hot dog! In addition to playing back optical audio discs and magnetic tapes, both of which are cutting edge technologies, it also had a Karaoke function, making your next party as embarrassing as your last social disaster. There's also a built-in AM/FM radio, should you wish to hear know-nothing jocks spew corporate-approved nonsense. More »

Scream Louder! It's Motor Karaoke!

Oh, those whacky art students! Now they've gone and created Motor Karaoke, a racing game based on your voice. Two players put on special motorcycle helmets outfitted with microphones, and begin to scream. The louder the scream, the faster you go around the track. First player to complete five laps wins the game. The sounds produced by the players (screams are split into right and left audio channels) are systematically recorded and archived with the intention of editing a CD. It's all part of an art installation. Be prepared to look super-awesome when playing this game. We expect you showing up in full riding gear. More »

Onkyo Wireless Karaoke Mic

Hey hey, my my, karaoke will never die. Not in Japan, at least. Especially not when there is the Wireless Karaoke MKW-50 microphone from Onkyo. It holds 600 songs, includes videos and can be connected to a TV to be enjoyed as a full karaoke station. Tempo, echo, etc. can be adjusted. The mic even includes 3 games. With 16-foot wireless transmission, there's no need to worry about cables or jumping from table to table and acting like a drunken cabaret idol. Not cheap at US$375 plus US$135 for an extra microphone. But so worth it. More »
