Get yourself an eight year old boy (by legal means, of course).

Played this at my sister-in-law’s and we handed the mic over to the boy because he couldn’t keep time on the drums. A lack of shame, no preconceptions of the lyrics and a voice that can go high and low means he can get through any song with at least a 65%.

You can move octaves up or down but can’t transpose.

Yep, octaves up or down are no problem. I can sing Maps (girl) but can’t sing Creep (girlyman). Totally depends on the song. Pretty much everyone can sing Sabotage though…

We have yet to find a good singer. Many try, many have fun, many come across as drunk Japanese karaoke fans.

Well you haven’t heard me!

The truth of the matter is you actually need like 2 or 3 singers to do all the songs. I mean there are several songs on there I can do well but, try as I might, I just can’t get as high as the singer from Jet.

How does the game react when a man tries a song with a female singer? Can you move the key down and still pass the song?

Wow, Rock Band sounds exactly like the real thing. Do you ever have to find a substitute bass player at the last minute because your regular guy is in rehab, or have rehearsals ruined by the guitarist’s girlfriend telling everybody what to play?

We got the PS3 and Rock Band for xmas. KC is severly addicted to the drums. Thank god you can download additional songs or she would shortly be going into withdrawal after she finishes the first 58.

I don’t know about sports games, but watching other people play Guitar Hero is surprisingly entertaining.

That’s a good one. Certainly makes you sweat and very compelling as a spectator.
