31 bloggers in 31 days Day 6 – Karaoke Channel

May 5, 2009 By 67 Comments

Welcome to my blog.

I really wanted to do a video review but things are just not working out for me right now. I’m lucky that I can still blog. On Saturday my laptop crashed. My husband plugged it into the main computer to see if we could get it back up and well that made the main computer crash. Somehow my husband managed to get my computer up but it wasn’t until today he was able to get his computer back up. So video is out for now.

Which is quite sad, so let me tell you what I had planned.

Trisha from the queen of mommy bloggers, oh I mean MomDot is turning 31 years old on May 31st. She decided that having 31 bloggers doing giveaways would be a lot of fun and I agree. Going around to visit other bloggers is a ton of fun (I would be out there with you guys but family is in town, TODAY is my BIRTHDAY!!!, and our computer problems aren’t helping anything).

Day 6 is Momstart (me, did I mention today is my birthday and I’m only 29?)

THE KARAOKE CHANNELNo really, it should be about Trisha and my sponsor, The Karaoke Channel. Trisha has been nothing but extra wonderful to me and my blog. She accepted me as a member of Bloggers Give and I didn’t want to let her down so I have been working my butt off to get it off the ground with her. It’s been a lot of fun and I’ve learned a lot. And she has helped me reach some of my blogging goals. Now all I need is the confidence to start charging. She has become my friend. I consider her a good friend, even though we’ve never met. Don’t make her mad I think she leaves claw marks when she’s defending a friend. ;-) THANK YOU you’re the best. Happy Birthday!

Now for the Giveaway.

The KARAOKE Channel Karaoke Kit - PC & MAC (1 USB mixer + 2 microphones)The The Karaoke Channel is providing one winner a month’s free subscription and a Karaoke Kit. The set plugs into your computer and becomes a Karaoke Machine. The Kit is 39.95 on Amazon and you can bundle it into your purchase when you purchase a monthly subscription from The Karaoke Channel. There is a free trial and there are free songs, but to get the full feel of it I recommend purchasing the 9.95 plan.

I know it’s really sad that we don’t have any video because a Karaoke set really does need a video seal of approval and I was going to sing “Happy Birthday” to Trisha, Marilyn Monroe style. I had it all planned out…

My Opinion:

We have all test software on our computers, all beta versions and it still managed to work. There were a few kinks, but we’re impressed that it did so well in an unfamiliar setting. You can get an echo, which is a fun effect. You have two microphones so my kids don’t fight, oh wait even when toys are identical they want what the other one has.

Their web interface is a lot better than I expected it to be. We went into the children’s genre and pulled up kids songs to sing and the background had some school kids singing and playing instruments in the background. One of the backgrounds had fish. I really liked how easy it was, you just plug it in. It’s made for the most basic of systems. That was one of our issues, our system was so complex. Once we realized it was a simple set up, it worked fine, the browser issues was for the microphone to work we had to keep an arrow pushed down with the mouse. We feel it was a software issue and not The Karaoke Channel.

50.00 value is yours by visiting The Karaoke Channel and picking out a song. Giveaway Ends May 31st
