Karaoke Versie neemt je mee naar Brazilië

Terwijl de voetballiefhebbers zich voorbereiden op een paar intensieve weken op het ritme van het gezang van de supporters, verkeert Karaoke Versie al geheel in Braziliaanse sferen dankzij versao-karaoke.com!

Om zingend de verlenging in te kunnen gaan, heeft ons team een selectie gemaakt van zomerse nummers met een Latijns-Amerikaans ritme die je meenemen naar het zonnige Copacabana.

Vergeet ook niet onze tijdloze Allerbeste Voetballiederen, met onder andere het lied van het WK 2014, We Are One (Ole Ola), om zo de belangrijke momenten van de voetbalgeschiedenis in muziek weer op te halen!

New : change the pitch of your backing tracks for instruments!

Ter uitbreiding van de mogelijkheden van de Gepersonaliseerde Backingtracks is het in het vervolg ook mogelijk om van tonaliteit te veranderen bij de instrumentale backing-tracks.

Is je favoriete titel in Sol#? Maak daar in één klik A of Fa van! Handig als je het instrument gebruikt om je zang te begeleiden (of gewoon om een andere toonladder te spelen).

Deze update is uiteraard beschikbaar voor alle titels die je al hebt aangeschaft of in de toekomst zult aanschaffen.

Veel plezier!

A look back on Eurovision!

Every year in May, the Eurovision Song Contest is back with surprising songs, extravagant costumes and stage performances that only this musical competition can bring.

Let's step back in time and review the songs that everybody remembers from Eurovision over the last 58 years: This song made popular by the Swedish band won the competition in 1974 and took over the world, being number 1 in many Europeans countries, and entering the top 10 in the United States. This song by Israeli Pop singer Dana International, is still remembered as being the first and only winning song performed by a transgender artist. With this song, Céline Dion, at that time not as famous as she is now, won the competition in 1988 for Switzerland. This rock song, quite unusual in the musical landscape of Eurovision, was the only one that brought Finland a victory. Winner of last year's competition, Only Teardrops rapidly became a huge success in its home country, Denmark. This Swedish song won the competition in 2012, with a total of 372 points, the second highest score ever reached since the beginning of the contest. This ballad, single French winning song in 58 years of Eurovision, was a great success through Europe, and was sung in French, English, German, Spanish and Portuguese. White and Black Blues is the second song written by the French songwriter Serge Gainsbourg entering the competition. It allowed France to rank second in 1990. Luxembourg representative in 1965, this song written by Serge Gainsbourg was translated in more than 18 languages, including Arabic, Russian, Swedish and even Japanese.
