What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this section of MySpace allows visitors to record and listen to songs, create profiles, collect friends, and discover new music. Professional recording artists and entertainment companies also use the site to promote commercial efforts.
What's it about?
Billing itself as "The Ultimate Online Karaoke Experience" MYSPACE KARAOKE consists of karaoke versions ofsongs recorded by people from all walks of life and all level of talent. A wide array of song choices areoffered up as accompaniment, all of which include follow-along lyrics to guide the way. The "performers" -- of which thereare thousands -- have their requisite photos (or videos) featured prominentlywith each performance, and you'll find images of friendly families alongsidescantily clad school girls. Users who createtheir own recordings collect fans as well as feedback, much like the friendswho fill a user's MySpace page.
Is it any good?
Karaoke. You either love it or hate it. MySpace Karaoke is fascinating in much the same way an accident site or train wreck is to rubberneckers. Sure it has some entertainment value, but because much of the entertainmentisn't high quality, it becomes a bit much to bear. Teens, however, will bedrawn in by the chance to critique others and to provide anonymous feedback, arating, and virtual "applause." Ultimately,the site is a perfect place for even the most introverted to express theirsinging talent (or lack thereof).
You have to have a MySpace account to access the karaoke feature. See our Social Network Tips for guidelines.
What families can talk about
Families can talk about whythey think people need to participate in online karaoke? Is it because theytruly believe they're talented? Or simply because they have a need to be seenand heard? And why is the public so fascinated with seeing others perform -- especiallywhen the performances aren't necessarily very good? Also important is adiscussion about what the performers get out of the feedback -- positive ornegative -- they receive.

There is nothing wrong with K Solo
I love love love K Solo on MySpace. Im not sure what rock you think kids hide under now a days, but the songs on K Solo are no worse than most movies we allow our kids to watch. How many rated R movies have you allowed your kids to see, how many violent video games have they played that contain major profanity? Alot? Exactly! The only think wrong with K Solo site is they dont upload enough "hit music" and have alot of lame or old songs for us to attempt to sing.

Melrose Jewelers
I purchased four Rolex watches from Melrose Jewelers at once, after a friend recommended them to me. I was buying gifts for my three daughters and my husband, and wanted to make sure that they each got something unique. They even had them engraved for me because it was a special occasion. And when my oldest daughter’s watch wasn’t exactly what she wanted, they offered to exchange it for us. After that experience, I suggested them to another friend of mine who was looking for a Men’s rolex President.
If you are looking for a preowned Rolex, there is really no where else you should even look.
