SingStar is "the future" because even drunk girls can sing

Paulina Bozek, executive producer of the SingStar franchise at Sony's London Studio says that SingStar is the future. Kikizo expounds that this is because even drunk girls can play Sony London's SingStar.

Okay, their report was a lot more in-depth than that. They did say things about the game combining elements from YouTube, Karaoke, and making good use of the PlayStation Eye, but for some reason, this blogger just finds the bit on drunken ladies a bit too hard to ignore. Blame the testosterone.

Kidding aside, here's what to expect from SingStar:

You'll get HD music videos to sing along to if available (since, as Ms. Bozek notes, music industry is only just getting into HD).
You won't need to exit the game to buy songs on SingStore.
You'll be able to download songs in the background. The average download is 40MB. Pricing is still TBA.
It's like YouTube because you'll be able to share your SingStar home videos with the rest of the game's community.
There'll be around 350 songs available to buy in the game. That may seem like a small number but they do say that they "always work with all the music labels" so there may be more in the future.

Basically the essence of these features is that SingStar's supposed to be easy to use, and easy to get into. You'll be able to download songs in the background while you go off to party, and when the download's done (kikizo claims they download rather fast), people can move from drinking and partying to singing their hearts out on the PS3. If the singing ends up quite good, then use the Eye Toy to be able to share videos with the rest of the community online.

Hopefully, Sony London will somehow find a way to integrate this with PlayStation Home, Sony's other attempt at implementing web 2.0 in the console space. SingStar is karaoke crossed with web 2.0, user-generated, community-oriented principles. If iTunes, MySpace, and YouTube, is the future, then so is SingStar, or so Sony London claims.

Yes folks, bad singing in 1080p. Will we troll the network looking for videos of drunken girls singing Pussycat Dolls songs when the game's out? And then replay the videos on mute? You bet.

For Paulina Bozek's complete explanation on why SingStar - or iTunes meets MySpace meets YouTube - is the future, feel free to scan through the kikizo's report using our "read" link below.
