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.
Talk to Your Kids 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.

Did we miss something on diversity?
Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
