Why try to compete with the established brand of Singstar?

Oh dear Konami. You won't compete with what is on the market now.

Well, better late than never eh?

I'm just going to make this clear right now, ANY Jackson 5 song with a child Michael Jackson is impossible to sing unless you have inadvertantly swallowed a dog whistle.

Seriously, those songs are so HIGH in terms of pitch. Even women have trouble getting that high.

It's just not fun.

Actually most (all?) of these games don't seem to care which octave you're singing in. You could be a baritone MJ and still get 5 stars Smile

What an insult to the Jackson 5 to let Konami have this (though someone in that camp thought it was a good idea).

Konami: the kings of unoriginality and total shitness

Any game about anything to do with MJ will sell now, so hey its another cash cow to be milked.

Anyone else whenever they think of "ABC" just thinks about Clerks 2? Jay and Silent bob in Pigtails hehe

Well , i think this is one of those songs that you have three options, sing it originally (super high), sing it one key lower (still really too high for most men) or sing it lower still (which is then Johnny Cash style low).

Bas*tard hard!

It was good, but Stephen Chow's Kung-Fu Hustle or Shaolin Soccer have it beat in my opinion, based on pure random out of place madness alone!

In singing games you can use what ever pitch you like but you just have to hit the right note, so a woman can be singing high and a and a man lower if they are hitting the right notes hey will be scoring points.
