Ten Reasons Why Singstar is Never, Ever a Good Idea.

1. You are never far enough away from civilisation to avoid annoying your fellow man.
2. It has nothing to go with skill: screeching is as effective in keeping the light inside the bar.
3. Anyone who participates in a game of Singstar is usually a wannabee with dillusions of talent.
4. These same wannabees are, most often, drawn to song choices way outside their range.
5. They put dang hard songs on there—let's just get this straight, no one but Bono can sing a U2 song. Do you understand me? Good!
6. It's addictive.
7. They give you a microphone. It is not just bad singing; it is bad singing amplified.
8. Bad singing is often accompanied by bad dancing.
9. Watching your child relative play is more painful than your adult relatives—at least adults have shame.
10. I mean, who ever wanted to hear 'Hungry like a Wolf' again anyway, and again, and again, and again.
