SingStar Pop

No word in the English language makes us shudder and want to hide under our water beds more than the word "karaoke." Maybe that's because we once belted out "Welcome to the Jungle" in a Detroit bar and still have the beer bottle scars around our neck and shoulders to prove it. But if you've ever seen Ashlee Simpson on TV and thought, "Fuck, you know, if I just knock off a few pounds, I can do that shit," then try the latest iteration from the SingStar series. The focus this time—as the title says—is on pop. Tracks by Avril Lavigne, Britney Spears, and Destiny's Child will no doubt bring out the inner pop star diva in you. The game is specifically designed for parties, but if we show up at your place next Friday night, and you break this bullshit out, we're totally going to break our Guitar Hero II controllers over your head. Now get your punk-ass out of my sight!
