Instead of waiting for popular songs to be re-released on a karaoke CD when the song is outdated, users can simply create personalized karaoke files from their favorite songs of today. Employing advanced technologies, i-Sing enables music fans to add their own lyrics and to produce instrumental karaoke music by reducing or sometimes eliminating the artist's voice track.

Unlike the i-Pod, i-Sing displays lyrics on its screen and contains an internal speaker and microphone. Users first load songs, then add lyrics onto the digital device, and finally sing-along wherever they want whenever they want. Users can choose whether they want the actual vocals of the song to accompany them, or simply sing over the music. This creates the world's first Karaoke player that enables the user to have the ability to have duets with their favorite singers or sing on their own.

"We're thrilled at the opportunity to introduce i-Sing to consumers across the country," said Alan J. Sutton, Chairman of Outrageous International, manufacturer of i-Sing. "Not only is music and singing a part of our every day lives, but karaoke, now more than ever, is America's favorite form of entertainment. i-Sing offers aspiring singers and music lovers everywhere More Music Fun with an innovative MP3 experience, allowing them to showcase all that they've got anywhere at anytime!"

The recent debuts of NBC's The Singing Bee and FOX's Don't Forget the Lyrics! have made this the perfect time to introduce the world's first exciting music player that actually lets you feel the beat, rap to the lyrics, and emulate your favorite stars. i-Sing will help aspiring contestants of The Singing Bee and Don't Forget the Lyrics to learn their songs perfectly! i-Sing makes it easier than ever for people to show off their voices or just listen casually to their favorite tunes. From gifted performers to those who simply love to sing along, i-Sing gives everyone a chance to shine and have fun, even if they do not land a spot on national television.

i-Sing, for the first time ever, gives the ultimate music fan the opportunity to create their own music, create their own album, put their very own auditions on their youtube.com or myspace.com websites and have more music fun with a unique and exciting MP3-Karaoke player they can enjoy in the palm of their hand.

i-Sing's innovative capabilities include revolutionary P.D.S.R Fusion Technology: Play - Display - Sing - Record all at the same time. Moreover, through proprietary lyric creator software, i-Sing enables users to easily input the lyrics to songs and even personalize them by creating their own lyrics. Through patented voice reduction technologies, users can reduce or eliminate the singer's voice to create instrument-only karaoke music.

"The i-Sing display puts actual music lyrics on a portable MP3-Karaoke player and delivers awesome sound with a built-in speaker and microphone," said Sutton. "i-Sing makes the old CDG karaoke a thing of the past; music fans nationwide will have the ability to actually create their own karaoke from today's top downloadable music tracks."

i-Sing is currently available at Wal-Mart stores in the greater Denver, CO area and will be available nationwide for Back-to-School shopping at Wal-Mart, Toys R Us, QVC, Meijers, Sears Wishbook, Hammacher Schlemmer, Linens N Things, Target.com, Wal-mart.com, Etoys.com, Amazon.com, Toys R Us.com, Kmart.com, Sears.com, and other fine retailers nationwide.
