Let’s be honest: when you go to\u00a0do karaoke, you’re stuck\u00a0in front of people in a semi-awkward situation, and\u00a0unless those people are all your relatives or you are a professional singer in disguise, you’re going to be\u00a0nervous. Conquering these nerves can be accomplished through practice. A new way to practice, besides\u00a0spending money on\u00a0lessons or singing in the car or around the house, is to play a singing videogame. My favorites are the ones similar to Rock Band<\/a>\u00a0that show you note length and highlight varying changes in pitch, so you’re essentially learning the songs without having to pay for sheet music.<\/p>\n

Some of the most popular songs to play on karaoke nights are songs that almost everyone in the audience is familiar with. I have noticed that songs from the 1980s seem to be picked a lot, so I was excited when I found We Sing 80s<\/a><\/strong><\/em>, a videogame available for the Wii, that provides players with\u00a030 of the biggest songs of the ’80s (21 worldwide No. 1 hits!) along with their music videos for the ultimate 80s experience. Players will be able to play three different modes, from solo to party to karaoke with up to four people jamming together. If you’re unsure how a song goes, you can even take singing lessons and figure out how to add different effects to your voice. You can also change the level of difficulty to make everyone comfortable. So grab your friends and get ready to rock out to a night of Queen, Culture Club, Tears for Fears, Cyndi Lauper, and many more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
