Singstar's SingStore Update is Full of More Cheese than Wisconsin

Sony’s Singstar has never been a franchise were you can rock out and to be honest with you, it never even reaches the drunken bar karaoke level because at least in a bar you can sing a Whitesnake song or two, and maybe even a little Blur. This week, the SingStore has been updated, and like the title of this post says, it is full of more cheese than Wisconsin. And what goes better with cheese than wine? If I were to have to suffer through a bunch of people screeching to these songs, there better be a few bottles of it lying around. Seriously.

• Avril Lavigne – Complicated
• Peabo Bryson & Roberta Flack – Tonight I Celebrate My Love (OMG!!!)
• Good Charlotte – I Just Wanna Live
• The Beach Boys – Good Vibrations
• Shocking Blue – Venus (no Bananarama?)
• Golden Earring – Radar Love (decent)
• The Hives – Hate To Say I Told You So
• Hard-Fi – Hard To Beat
• Avril Lavigne – My Happy Ending
• Erik Faber – Not Over
• Cutting Crew – (I Just) Died In Your Arms (anyone else remember dancing to this at the freshman dance in High School?)
• R.E.M. – Everybody Hurts
• Wilson Phillips – Hold On (someone pop my eardrums quick!)
• Buzzcocks – Ever Fallen In Love (With Someone You shouldn’t've)?
• Alphabeat – Fantastic 6
• The Vines – Get Free
• Roy Orbison – Only The Lonely (Know The Way I Feel)
• Westlife – Queen Of My Heart
• The Hoosiers – Cops N Robbers
• Coldplay – Shiver
• Coldplay – The Scientist (deserves to be on a better list)
• Duran Duran – The Reflex
• Moloko – Sing It Back
• Aslan – This Is

Ok, my snarky commentary aside, some of the songs on this list are ok. The majority though, are pure unadulterated cheese whiz. This is of course because I am a music snob through and through and just in a very bad mood this morning.
