This track list makes me feel young. I know like five of those songs. I hope that there aren't any more from my generation otherwise I'm going to feel out of the loop.

As for me buying this: HELLZ NOE. We still say "hellz noe" right? Just trying to be hip...

here's a novel idea, why don't they make a compilation of songs that you'd want to listen to as you die (the songs being so good that death would seem pretty unimportant) as opposed to a compilation of songs that make you want to die (the songs being so bad that death would seem like a worthy escape)?

DAMNIT. My sister will buy this, and then I'll have to put up with her singing.

Yup, just showed the family the track list, this is going to be a nightmare.

Why is it that they're still making karaoke games for the PS2 and yet there are no decent karaoke games for the Wii. Ok, I realize why there's no SingStar for the Wii, but it seems like if you made a snap on mic for the wiimote and had a downloadable catalog of songs (maybe a dollar a song), you'd make a killing. Seems like it'd be perfect for the 'casual gamer' crowd that Nintendo seems to cater to. Maybe call it Wii Sing. Is this demographic too busy with Guitar Hero now?

I think you're right. The boy band (their name escapes me) probably didn't look nearly as good lounging by swimming pools in skimpy lingerie. Well, unless that sort of thing floats your boat.

@Tiger-Fever:

Girls Aloud were the winners of Popstars: The Rivals, which was a Pop Idol show a few years ago where 2 groups, one of boys and one of girls, were picked by the Great British public. The boy band sunk without trace, but Girls Aloud have been quite successful, because (a) they employed clever songwriters/producers like Xenomania, and (b) they are good at being photographed mostly naked for FHM, Maxim etc.

God, I hate this game with a passion. Me and a couple friends tried it a couple years ago at a Sony thing-a-jig. Unless it's been improved it was horribly inaccurate and impossible to do well on.

Oh, and anybody know if Girls Aloud is a european band or something? I only have one of their songs and happened to get it from a some european guy. Haven't heard of them since till now.

David Bowie - Let's Dance should be in *every* form of rhythm action game ever. It would even work in "Rock" Band.

As for Girls Aloud - Call The Shots, well, I karaoke that on iTunes all the time *anyways*.

Rihanna will make this sell like rain-resistant hotcakes, but people will keep coming back to it for Peter Andre - Mysterious Girl.

I'm getting a vision of next Xmas with my wife's family. Her sister has every Singstar game in the world. This one isn't so bad, I'd sing the songs by Madness, Bowie, Klaxons or Pulp. I mean, there's a High School Musical one for crying out loud, get some perspective.

Singstar: Jingles - Pop Pop, Fizz Fizz, indeed.
Singstar: Nike Commercials - Basically, everything. And "Revolution".
Singstar: Car Songs and Show Tunes - Who needs a road trip to strap your family down and force them into singing "Wheels on the Bus" and "Sweet Little Buttercup" until they pass out and leave you alone?

WHEN are they going to announce Singstar: Swing? You could even just call it SWINGSTAR. All your favourite swing and big band numbers, would certainly add a touch of class to the series. I honestly think it would sell buckets. Fly Me To the Moon, My Way, Ain't That A Kick In The Head etc...
