The Karaoke Channel

After spending a couple of years trying to find a good site to buy karaoke versions of the songs I liked, I have found the best three. Below is the review of one of them, thekaraokechannel.com.

The Good

- The quality of the music is very close to the one played by original artist. The sound quality is also good. There is no audible noise. These qualities make it much better than all the free karaoke sites.

- Some of its tracks have lead vocals. They are very helpful for me because sometimes I like a song but I do not know how to sing it. Few of other karaoke sites have this feature.
Some tracks have backing vocals too. I always buy these versions whenever possible because they make my singing sound richer. - It charges $1.49 a song which is cheaper than some other sites. For example,. karaoke-version.com charges $2.99 a song.

- It has multiple formats such as mp4, wmv, mp3 + G so the songs you bought will play in any device.

- Its collection is large. It claims it has more than 8900 songs! I have never found a popular song that it does not carry.

- It allows me to sample the songs I like BEFORE buying it. Each sample lasts about 40 seconds. All commercial karaoke songs have this feature.

- It stores the songs I bought on its site indefinitely. That means after downloading them to my computer, if I lose them, I can download them again. Additionally, I can access my songs anywhere and anytime. Many other karaoke sites also have this feature.

- Its service is quick and convenient. After paying for my songs with my credit card, I can download them and play them right away.

- It allows you to sing online with membership that costs $59.99 a year. I prefer to buy the karaoke tracks and sing them with my friends because our professional audio equipment sounds much better.

The Not-So-Good

- Its videos have only black background while kareaoke-version.com has colorful background which is more attractive.

- It does not offer some free songs as karaoke-version.com

- It does not allow me to suggest a song I need. That means there is no way I can ask them to create a karaoke version for it.
