Karaoke Mainstays

[Corabar Entertainment]

Well, rather surprisingly, it looks like we may be going back to do some karaoke again. It's not going to be a large part of the business by any means, but it will be there is anyone wants an 'add-on'.

We do have a karaoke music collection that's pretty varied (the basics from our old collection, plus a set that we 'acquired' recently), but we'll need to update it and fill some gaps.

The purpose of this thread is to ask those of you who do karaoke to list some of the tracks that you consider karaoke essentials / those that are very popular. I can then cross-check against our collection to see if there's any we've missed!

:thanks:

You've said you've got the basics, and the set you acquired so do you mean what's popular from the last few years or what's popular full stop?

It's been many, many years since we've done karaoke, so I need to check what's missing from the collection - both old and new - so that we can plug the gaps!

Hello

When i have 5 mins i will extract my history from Virtual DJ and post up the most popular tracks that are getting done in my neck of the woods :)

I'm doin Karaoke 4 nights a week at the moment.

Also look up the 100 Hits Karaoke collections on Amazon, very cheap but no quality loss, as all the tracks are licensed through the Music Factory Group aka Mastermix Karaoke :)

I did make a post about this in the karaoke forum here !!

Thank you

Glenn

With the exception of songs from a few years ago like Valerie (Amy Winehouse), Killers - Sex on Fire and recent ones like Katy Perry - Firework, you'd could waste a whole lot of money on modern stuff which has a very short shelf life.

If you like, I'll update my full listing on my website. You can download it. If you enter MRE in the search box, then click anywhere in the blue border and then click search by disc number, it will bring up all of the latest tracks.

Do the same but enter SF in the search and that will take you back a few more years.

Basically, anything your punters sing along to at a disco is good for karaoke.

As you know Angela I've got back into the karaoke myself and when you think you have every song you need you get ten requests for more.

Walking in Memphis and Paradise by the dashboard light are very common at my Monday night res....

Thanks, chaps.... plenty of useful info coming in here!

Would second the 100 hits. I rarely need anything else - apart from the many songs I still don't have lol.

I don't think I've done a Karaoke without having that one on. With varying degrees of success. ;) ;) :eek: :eek: :D
