    We need a ten-hour loop of that final "Macarena" - that would rock.

    Those cheap Taiwanese discs are the reason Sound Choice came along. Although I like the San Francisco shots.

    I grew up watching these on TV! Our local karaoke channel would play them every morning. And yeah, Honstar karaoke is NOTORIOUS for its typos 😂😂😂 they had to superimpose the videos. I have the full Old Style Love Songs collection.
    Hey, these are part of my childhood and they made me the geography lover I am today ❤❤ You don't know how much the videos influenced me 😂

    They make X-rated karaoke discs? That's the first I've heard of that.

      Honestly, it takes a good singer to sing that badly. See also Carmen Silvera's performances in Allo Allo versus what she was actually capable of.

    I use to go to a lot of karaoke boxes (places where you rent a room and pay by the hour) in the late '80s & '90s and those laserdiscs are the equivalent of record rip-offs. Most Japanese brands of laserdiscs I sang to never had those problems (with the occasional typo but that was it). The singers they used were mostly American and performance wise was mostly spot on.

    Nowadays, anyone who wants to sing karaoke, might as well be subscribing to Digital Cable TV where there's a dedicated channel for karaoke available as an On Demand channel.

    You'll have to watch that one on a standard desktop or laptop computer. The powers that be have made it so that the episode isn't allowed on mobile devices, set-top boxes or gaming consoles.

    I have the revised version of your "Up Where We Belong" and "Somewhere Out There" clip... the typos in the lyrics are fixed.
    Just to let you know, or you already knew this, some karaoke LDs which are made in Taiwan has no original singers. They mostly has random singers covering the song, and they have not-related-videos-with-the-song-lyrics, only a woman walking here and there. CMIIW
    BTW, I have the first five volumes of the series of the "Greatest Love Song" laserdiscs... haha. Some of the typos are fixed in my copy.
    The "Without You" clip came from a karaoke LD series named "Old Style Love Song". The series had been revised many many times since the lyrics have lots of typos...
    so I think the Endless Love Song series took the videos from other companies, and took the tracklisting from the Greatest Love Song series, which I found annoying and I decided not to buy that series.

    19:26 The cracked disk that might be Vietnamese- does the disk or dust jacket have any coding or lettering on the back, something like 'MV-028' or any phone numbers, etc.?

  • @riceboy1701e
    @riceboy1701e 9 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    As a former karaoke host, some people shouldn't sing. No, really. The only reason that they think they can sing is they get a bit of lubrication in them, then get the mic and belt out a horrible tune in an equally horrible voice.
    Karaoke should die...like the remakes of those bad disco songs.

      Eh, I just say let people have fun, just as long as they don't pick super long or boring songs there's no harm in it beyond temporary discomfort.

    What's the point of having Japanese karaoke discs if they're all gonna be American songs?!

    • @TackyRackyComixNEO
      @TackyRackyComixNEO 7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      American pop is popular in Japan, especially a lot of music of the '60s and '70s.

    12:00 -- "Hey, that's my neighbor 20 years ago!"
    Well I remember that karaoke background when I was 6 years old, and that lyrical dance duet background video was also used in the song "No Other Love" by Jo Stafford, although it was edited just to shorten things up. But this one was hard to find on YT and other search engines including Google but I gotta tell you this song "Endless Love" was so beautiful, even if we watch them dance while we sing. LOL!!! Oh my Gee, what more could I ask for?!?:-D #EndlessLove #FlashbackFriday #Beautiful #ToGodBeTheGlory

    has anyone mentioned that the video that was used during your exquisite performance of i just caled to say i love you was filmed in australia? The biggest giveaway was the phone box that had the telecom logo that was right before it was changed to telstra.. im guessing this was early 90s.. 91-93?

    • @iamoutofideas1
      @iamoutofideas1 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      My closest guess was that it was filmed in Cronulla in Sydney
