karaoke machine for child - advice pls

[Rowan Tree]

DD would like a karaeoke machine for her birthday. she will be 8. But I have no experience of them so don't really know where to start looking.

Do you have to buy special CDs for them? I'm presuming our normal CD collection will not allow the words to appear on the tv? Do they all plug into your tv, with something like a scart cable?

can anyone enlighten me on how they work, and/or recommend me one, preferably with flashing lights .

Wasn't it so much easier when it was duplo and teddies. lol.

We got Dd one when she was 8, but she broke the clip on the lid and it would work after that. you do have to have special cd's and we got some with the actual machine. It was a kids karoke machine, but I personally thing it was a load of rubbish. Do you have a Wii? You can get "Lets sing" with that and that has been much more popular in our house.
