MySpace Karaoke Lets You Cringe at Home

MySpace's online version of karaoke is all the fun of real karaoke, but the whole world can watch when you're done, and you'll need to supply your own beer.

Amateur Simon Cowells, prepare your keyboards . As if YouTube hadn’t lured enough talentless hacks out of their parents’ basements with promises of Internet fandom, MySpace is now inviting the pain as well, with MySpace Karaoke. The social networking site announced its latest feature on Tuesday.

MySpace Karaoke allows users to perform, record and share any of the hundreds of licensed tracks MySpace offers. The all-in-one application the company uses, powered by Ksolo, delivers sing-along lyrics on screen, music, and recording capability.

After recording up to 10 karaoke songs, MySpace members will automatically see the most recent recordings pop up in their profiles for others to listen to, rate, and comment on. They can also share them elsewhere, and bookmark favorites.

While the U.S. version of MySpace Karaoke launched Tuesday, international versions are still a few months away. You’re safe for now, Germany. (But in the mean time, we’ve got 99 Red Balloons on the U.S. version).
