Here in our country, the Philippines, videoke is a common thing. In every occasions here, it is usual to see a videoke machine, a machine with a monitor and thousands of songs stored. The song plays in the monitor like a minus one but with lyrics changing in proper timing. For every song you sing, there's an equivalent score depending on how good your voice is. That is the original videoke machine. But now, there is already different varieties, not only that typical machine. There is now a microphone with thousand of songs stored, you just have to plug it to your television. Another variant is in DVD player, there is now a DVD player with videoke features, a DVD with songs stored. We Filipinos really love to sing, it doesn't matter if you have a golden voice or not. Haha! Actually videoke machine was been used as a business. It is being rent by people whenever there's a special occasion, like birthday or fiesta. But nowadays, many house here has it's own videoke. Mostly is the microphone. Me, what I have here is a DVD player with tousand of songs inside. A songbook is included in the package. When I have nothing to do, sometimes I sing videoke.

Yes it's the magic sing microphone. I didn't say it that way because I thought the word "Magic Sing" is just a brand of that microphone, but I realized it's not, it's really what they called it. Two of the most popular brands are WoW! and Extreme. Oh, you do it everyday? Wow, you must be a good videoke singer! Perhaps you also possess a golden voice. Why don't you join the Singing Bee? Lol!

hahaha..I hope I could join to, but I don't have the "guts". Besides, singing bee is far away from my city so it's quiet impossible.

at the local videoke booth,there we go wild and scream our vocals even if our voices are out of tune well who cares?
we're the only one who can hear our own voices, voice that can break your eardrums to pieces.
having a videoke session once in a while is a great way to be with friends and also an effective way to let out some pain and worries that's been creeping deep inside you.Agree?
