With the popularity of the reality/talent show American Idol, it is no wonder that a do-it-at-home karaoke machine is available. The Star Station might not cultivate junior Whitney Houstons, but it’s sure to get kids off the couch and singing long into the night — a good thing. The station allows kids to sing, dance and view themselves on the television set. A child can even record the performance using a VCR — added incentive to adorn and self-adulate.
