Few forms of recreation are as simultaneously entertaining and hated as Karaoke. At SingSnap, you can watch others sing someone else's songs or be part of an enthusiastic community of karaoke singers, post video and audio recordings of yourself singing, comment on other people's performances, and more.
I usually can't stand karaoke. Most people are bad at it, though I do know one or two people who are amazing singers. However, for every one of those people who can really carry a tune there's about two or three others that are painful (or hilarious, depending on my mood) to listen to. At SingSnap, the rule stands. One or two clicks will take you deep into a world of everyday people matching voices against Fats Domino, Frank Sinatra, Billy Joel, and more.
If you're into karaoke though, SingSnap is a great place for you to show off your talents and connect with other people who enjoy it as much as you do. The service is free to use (although the developers claim that premium services are coming soon) and as soon as you sign up you can instantly begin posting videos and audio recordings of yourself singing to your favorite artists' songs.
The service provides assistance to karaoke fans who aren't computer savvy enough to use their computer's microphone or set up a Webcam, and gives all of its users storage space to upload their music and video. SingSnap boasts over 15,000 song selections, and the people behind the site are always uploading new karaoke tracks for the members to try, and look to the user community for new song suggestions.
Once you've signed up and posted your videos, SingSnap members can descend on your glorious (or terrible) singing and rate the song, comment on your performance, and discuss in the site's forums and online chat. If mocking others is more your style, then head into the "hall of fame" to see the SingSnap artists who have the best performances or try the duets section to see and hear SingSnap users singing together. You can also search by artist or community member if you're looking for something specific.
Admittedly I'm the type of person who'd rather visit SingSnap because I'm entertained watching others try to sound like legendary singers and fail miserably. At the same time, SingSnap members are supportive of one another and show a lot of confidence by posting their performances for the world to see. I'm not that brave, but I certainly enjoy listening.
