As the Sonntagszeitung reports in its multimedia pages, Internet karaoke has become a real craze in the (un)culture of telemedia talent-finding events such as Music, Pop, Superstars, etc. Those who participate in an online karaoke community have a much more gracious jury and a much larger and global audience compared to the TV faction. In addition, online karaoke is best suited for couch potatoes or stoner heads who could never get their butts up on a casting stage. Or for extremely shy people who suffer from severe nervous flutter as soon as they see a stage up close.
On the karaoke website Singshot.com, for example, anyone can join in who has an internal or, even better, a USB microphone on their computer. To register, participants create a MySpace-like profile and off they go: 1100 songs from 40 years of pop history are available for reinterpretation. Sometimes the originals are distorted beyond recognition, sometimes they reveal singing gems. Like the 29-year-old American Dsvmusic, the current superstar of the community. But he's no mere amateur; he's a music professional in real life, too. If you think things through further, and if CD sales continue to plummet, you can predict that Robbie Williams will soon be on Singshot.com as well.
