Great portability, but can't compete w/ traditional karaoke
By Ricky Le
This "karaoke in a microphone" system is small and extremely portable. You can carry it from party to party. Just hook it to a TV or better yet - a music sound system home theater and you are ready to sing with your friends. The sound quality is acceptabe, but not great, as noise could clearly be heard behind the music background.The music reproduction of this system is not close to the original version of your favorite songs. Traditional karaoke has two major modes: listening (allow you to hear the song with the demonstration singer(s)'s vocal to familiarize yourself with the song) and the singing mode (with music only or music and back up singers' vocal so that you can sing as a lead singer). This portable karaoke system, however, only has one mode which is the singing mode. Therefore, you must be familiar with the songs in order to sing them. Even in this singing mode, you will not get back-up singer's vocal. So if the original version of your favorite song has back up vocal (voices of people that sing on the background to assist the main singer in bringing the songs to climax or adding harmony to the songs. e.g music of Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, Marc Anthony) or if the original version is a duet or group performance (Barbara Streisand and Bryan Adams duet; Nsync; All for One, Boys2Men, Backstreet Boys), you will not be able to sing by yourself. If you do, your "production" will sound really flat or lose its flavor as there's no back up vocal to "sing" along with you.One good thing about this system is that you can adjust the music volume, microphone volume, the melody presence, and the pitch (high/low music tones/notes). Pitch adjustment is a great feature of karaoke.You can add up to four additional song/music cartridges into this microphone; however, be sure to test the compatibility as this microphone may not work with some music cartridges, e.g. Alternative Rock Vol 2 due to manufacturing defect with some units. Many of the songs cannot play.You can add a second (wireless) microphone although the sound of this extended mic is not great.One excellent feature of this system is it can grade your perfomance although the grading sometimes is not accurate (it gives you high scores although you don't sing close to the original version and make many mistakes). If you have a group of friends, this scoring feature will allow you and your friends to enter into a fun karaoke competition.If you are looking for an affordable portable karaoke system so that you can have good time with a bunch of friends, this is it. If you are looking for a karaoke system that makes you feel like an artist or gets you ready for the next season of American Idol, this is not the one. IF you are looking for a karaoke system so that you can sing at home just by yourself , this may not be the one. If you listen to radio a lot and are very familiar with the songs, then you can sing with this karaoke system. If you hear a song only once or twice - you like the song and want to try singing the song with this microphone, I don't think you can make it

Excellent deal
By kireviewer
Personally, I don't like Karaoke. But, if you do, this is a fantastic invention.This is a handheld microphone, that you connect to your TV through the video and audio inputs that almost all TV's have now. If your TV is more than 20 years old, it might not have the proper connections. But, if you can hook up a video game to your TV, you can hook up this. You then hook up the A/C adapter. It also comes with a car adapter, but I don't know why you would ever use that.The microphone contains 300 songs. You have a little notebook that serves as the menu for the songs. You punch in the number of the song you want. The song plays on your TV, along with the words, that are highlighted as you should be singing them. There are background movies of scenic places for the songs.You can adjust the volume of your voice and include sound effects like an echo. It also keeps score as you are singing. It keeps track on whether you sing the words in the right places, and gives you a score at the end of the song.You can buy additional chips that contain around 100 to 300 songs each. These chips just plug right into the microphone.The whole thing is very sturdy and very reliable. The microphone sound quality is very good.The only downsides: the microphone is a little large and heavy, but is still manageable. And the music is very bland, like elevator music. There are popular songs, but they are played in a subdued manner.This system has been available in Asia for about 4 years. It has been sold under many names. It was also expensive starting at around 400 bucks. The Asian systems could also run on batteries and had more songs. I was thought that it wasn't available in the US because of licensing issues with the songs. But, I guess that is not an issue anymore, if it ever was.If you like Karaoke, this by far the best and most economical system to get.

The last review says, quote "Great portability but can't compete with traditional karaoke" and gives it 2 stars? What a joke. Of course it can't compare to traditional karaoke system, that's because the Leadsinger costs UNDER $120, as opposed to a "traditional karaoke" machine tha cost $400+ min! "sigh"Anyways, my experience with Leadsinger is pretty positive. I bought the unit for my girlfriend, who is a karaoke junkie. Now we fight over whos turn it is to sing.She had a older karaoke machine that just can't compare with the Leadsinger. Why?Portability: The system can easily fit in a small bag that allows us to take it to friends, to parties, everywhere. Her old system was a five pound boom box that was cumbersome to transport.Songs: The only negative thing that I noticed was that all of the guitar parts are played with a cheesy keyboard. As a guitar player, listening to the Eddie Van Halen solo on Micheal Jackson's 'Beat It' on a goofy keyboard is pretty dreadful. But friends have told me that replacing the guitar with a keyboard is pretty standard for karaoke. Other then that, the songs are pretty decent. My favorites are the Beatles, Elvis, and Queen. A friend bought his Leadsinger in the Phillipenes and his came with Radiohead's Creep & Cures Boy's Don't Cry which would have been nice to have on this version, but they aren't.Adding songs: I have not bought the chip with additional songs yet(hopefully there will be no trouble with adding the chip), but just the idea of getting 100 or 150 additional songs for $50 or so it exciting. My girlfriends older karaoke system charged $15 for a cd with 12 or so songs. Having to switch cds that contain only 10 songs would get old really quickly.The bottom line is, if you are looking for an inexpensive karaoke system to practice at home with (before hitting the 'traditional' karaoke bar), to take to parties, or to just sit around the house with friends, drinks, and fun, this is a great system with a fun factor of 5+. (Hopefully it wont crash on me tomorrow!)Is it good for children? I think it would be. None of the 'older'songs are offensive, and it seems to have plenty of childrens songs like Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, and your kid will be the first (or should be) on his block to be belting out the Beatles 'Yesterday' or Queens 'Bohemian Rhapsody'.
