Editorial Review

With selections from popular contemporary artists like Britney Spears and the Backstreet Boys, as well as classic rock & rollers like the Beatles, the Barbie Karaoke Machine offers something for all the music lovers in your house. The machine is compact (8.5 inches tall), operates on four C batteries, and comes with four different cassette tapes featuring songs from female artists, male artists, and party hits. The machine also comes with a blank cassette tape for recording your own songs. Choose from a total of 24 prerecorded songs, and after plugging in the handheld microphone or the microphone headset, play any of them back with vocals included or as an instrumental so you can provide all the singing. --Chris Burns

We bought this for our 4 year old daughter for christmas. It says it is for 3 years and up. Our 4 year old is quite advanced for her age so I though she would have no problem using it. The songs on tape that come with it are for much older kids. Some of the songs I have never even heard of. She isn't old enough to read so she can't read the words off the printed pages so she can't learn the words to the songs. It is very difficult to hear the music even with the volume all of the way up. She mostly just uses the blank tape to tape herself singing "twinkle twinkle" and "Itsy bitsy spider". The head set microphone that comes with it is difficult to use as it doesn't fit the four year olds head nor does it fit my head. Not worth the money in my opinion.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun toy for kids who love music, October 24, 2001

My 5 y.o. daughter loves this karaoke machine. It comes with tapes that have both current hits and old favorites. She loves to play the music and dance, or sing along with the microphone. Her older brother also enjoys listening to the music. The only problem we had was when the tape would turn but no sound came out, which turned out to be easily fixed by putting in fresh batteries. A fun toy for girls who love music, singing, and dancing.

The tapes that come with Karakoke machine are of a very poor quality. It is difficult to hear the words or the music while you are singing into the microphone. After using it for only 4 days, the machine quit putting out any sound even though all of the other functions seemed to be working. I would not recommend this toy.
