I have done karaoke once in my life and after I got over the initial fear I really enjoyed it. My fiance and I love to sing together and we have talked about dong karaoke at home. I really know nothing about karaoke other than to hold the mike. However, her birthday is coming up and I thought it would be fun if we could get some kind of a system that will allow us to play at home. I've got a great stereo system and flat screen tv so, it seems that if I could get the karaoke device (I'm sure there is a technical name for that device so please excuse my ignorance), some sort of a starter kit if you will, then, we could make a go of it. I read some of the posts and I see that most of the folks want to do this as a business and spend tens of thousands of dollars. I am looking for something simple and cheap and just want to have some fun with my gal. Is that possible? Can someone give me some guidance please.
Thanks.

Well it's possible. You can use your computer and a free hosting program called Karafun from www.karafun.com with the home subscription of $ about $10 per month gives you access to 20K+ songs via streaming so internet will be required.
Home stereo bad idea - more often than not people end up blowing their speakers since they are really not designed for live vocals. A small dedicated PA system would be ideal. Not hard to learn. Figure maybe $500-1000 for a very basic to somewhat decent system.

Why does John Smith's OP sound exactly like this topic thread opened by Jack Adam????

Cue, I would say that it is the same OP.

When singsong chimed in about smoking (which is his ONLY contribution on any topic) the discussion went way astray, and never returned.

I agree, same op. Maybe, with his best of intentions, he would like to continue the topic of conversation hoping not to go wayward again. Out of 11 replies, there were only 4 posts specifically answered the question. That said, bwriter’s link has good and helpful info.

No this is like the 2nd or 3rd post this week that was pointed out that copied and pasted an old post. I think it's a new way to get by the forum filter for posting requirements or something.
