1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, March 30, 2001

By 

Michael Bartle (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Irish Karaoke (Audio CD)

The sad part is that the arrangements on some of these are very pretty. However, for some reason they fixed so that you couldn't remove the guide vocals. They come in at the beginning of each new verse, bridge and chorus, then go away. But you can't get rid of them if you want to solo on these songs. Nice selection of songs, nice arrangement on some of them. But useless to a singer.

2.0 out of 5 stars Aptly titled CD, October 24, 2000

By 

Frank Connolly (Toronto, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Irish Karaoke (Audio CD)

The title of this CD says it all: Irish Karaoke. Its Irish alright. Make no mistake. Its the first time I've come across karaoke tracks where, at several points throughout the songs, the "guide" vocals come in for a line or two, comletely unexpectedly. This may be fine in certain settings....e.g. if a whole gang of people are already singing along, who is going to notice...but if one person is giving a solo rendition, this sudden vocal intrusion can be very disconcerting. It also makes recording a vocal performance impossible, as the guide vocal cannot be removed. Now, is that Irish enough for you?
