Talent Show Kit Lends Some Old-Tech Chic to Your Karaoke Warblings
Posted by Gizmodo US Edition at 8:56 PM on March 14, 2008
I'll admit it, some karaoke singers are worth listening to—from a distance—but even then my inner sound-technician always cries at their awkward mike-handling: and that's where this freestanding microphone would be great. The Crosley CR25 Talent Show Kit may even add a little old-time radio show class to karaoke with its retro looks, inspired by a 1956 Sears Wishbook. It probably can't turn you into the next Nat King Cole, but it does have microphone, amp and feedback/distortion suppression built in so at least it should sound good. Available soon for US$79.95.

I must have one. I simply must.
Wait, I don't have any friends.

It looks the part, bit is it just a crappy mic element in a plastic shell or what?
I want the real damn thing.

If it casts as bad a vocal impression on your, likely dwindling, audience as does it's shadow-stain on the front of your shirt, then... pass.

@essequemodeia:
And if you had one of these, you might have even fewer. Sadly, yes, it is possible to have a negative number of friends. So I'm told. By people who have a negative number of friends. Who are not me.
