this sounds great. flagging

I just got an idea!
Theme..... celebrating Carnival at home

Info....
This month Carnival is celebrated in my home country Trinidad and Tobago, also where i live in Croatia, and other countries around the world like Brazil, Venice,New Orleans, Mexico etc. Considered the greatest show on earth in my homeland it brings everyone together in celebration,no matter what race or religion in a vibrant array of colors.

General concept.... to take part in the celebration from home, create a costume much like halloween and perform in it for cam users.

Sample Artists....

Some Caribbean artists like
Billy ocean
Harry Belafonte
Grace Jones
Bob Marley
Rhianna
Eddy Grant

Italian Artists like...
Andrea Bocelli
Laura Pausini
Luciano Pavarotti just to name a few, have not researched Brazilian and Mexican artists but can include songs in the language of those countries or song that have something to do with the country.
LIke *Drink a rum and coca cola* has to do with Trinidad-

*Blue Spanish eyes prettiest eyes in all of Mexico* etc.

Hope you like the idea.

Also thinking a bit ahread for Easter season.
On Good Friday we can have another dress up challange. Create and wear an Easter bonet for cam challange and audio an Easter poem, or shout out why you love Easter.

Hi all... I would love to see a Feature Selection based on our Towns/Citys/States/Provinces etc...I thought back in December about the "city theme" see:
http://www.singsnap.com/karaoke/watchandlisten/play/b8acc77d0
...but it could also include States/Provinces if there are not enough songs,(you say you need about 600 songs to Feature as choices), why not let us have choices for singing about our favorites 'parts of' North America cities/towns/states/provinces???There has to BE at least 50 songs just for our 50 States in the U.S., as EACH State always has a State Song such as The Tennessee Waltz, The Missouri Waltz etc...Just an idea, hope you will consider it...

Nothing special required! As long as the songs on it are not the same over and over and there are songs for EVERY genre of music! Don't exclude a certain genre simply for the sake of a "special" feature page!

thanks for the suggestions!

I like to see some non English songs in the feature as those people also needs a moment in spotlight with their own language!

wonderful suggestion! I have been making an effort to include different languages in features I work on. That may be something we can do in the future. Awhile back we had Latin songs featured but it would be a good idea to look for songs from many different languages.

Yes... love Dutch and German and French and Italian... this was one of the ideas I am having now for many ages!!!

some Italian operas perhaps! there are lots of songs here I'm sure. I'll do some research on your idea. You could also include songs people are more familiar with such as "Labamba", "The Macarena", "99 Luftballoons", etc.

there might not be enough songs to devote to just foreign languages but we could possibly work out an "Around the Globe" theme featuring artists from all over the world.

yes... that can indeed... looks like great, doesn't it?
