Question: Can You Recommend an Online Karaoke Source?

Can you recommend a good source for karaoke songs online?

I've tried iTunes: slim pickin's. I've Googled around, as well. I haven't turned up that much.

Is there an iTunes for karoke?

I'm looking for 'Tell Me Something I Don't Know' by Selena Gomez for my 11-year-old for a school thing - but I'll take anything in that general area.

Rhapsody offers a lot of karaoke albums, both in subscription-locked-wma's, and ala-carte mp3's.
emusic offers them as well.

Neither has your requested song though =(

You could try rhapsody. If you have an account, you can listen to all you want. Otherwise, standard $.99 a song. I can't vouch for myself, but if you search for an artist, there is always a Mariah Carey Karaoke option. Can't check now because I'm at work, but it's wortha shot.

An alternative might be to filter out the vocals from the original. Nero does this fairly well. Add the track, highlight it, then click on properties and in the filter tab you should find karaoke. Have a play with it. If you remove the vocals completely, what's left can get pretty distorted, but leaving the vocals quiet kind of helps for karaoke as a prompt.

Youtube has a lot of karaoke songs, just add karaoke to the end of the song you're searching for.

Karaoke Party may have what you're looking for (if Youtube doesn't). You'd probably have to use Audacity to record the song separately though. It's also pretty fun -- if singing alone with your teleconference headset isn't too dorky for you.
