If you are getting this for a special occasion or event, purchase it with enough time to check your setup — you may need an inexpensive cord to connect to your television, and you will want to ensure you have the songs you need, whether via your own collection, a karaoke app, CD or YouTube. Pro tip: Ask guests for their karaoke favorite ahead of time and make sure to have those, and other reliably popular sing-along tunes, at the ready. Worried about everyone getting along at Thanksgiving dinner? Remember that people can’t fight about politics if they are busy singing. — Sarah Stevens Buy now (opens in new tab)
