Hello K V , It's sweet having a Karaoke site that puts out such great music. It's great that Karaoke Version has this service for us to add song's to our collections. I see several comments have included what they would like to see. My choice is a song I thought sure you would have done by now. It's an Elvis Presley song about soldiers coming home, from his release from the Army Album titled “Elvis Is Back" the tract is titled "I Will Be Home Again"

There have been some great songs downloaded in 2016 also it was sad that we lost many good artists that am sure will be remembered by many and their downloads will help people to really appreciate the songs and the great backing tracks that your site has keep up the great songs in 2017

Very good tracks, but some lack the melodic cues that tell the vocalist when to come in (an example is Johnny Cash's 'I Walk the Line': those long monotone guitar runs between verses give no clue to the vocalist when he should begin the next verse. Counting beats is distracting and subject to error.) Would like to see more of the early country artists and also the great Roger Whitaker. All in all, highly recommend KV.

I ENJOY YOUR KARAOKE SINGLE SONGS BUT FIND IT HARDER TO FIND THEM. I LOVE THE OLD COUNTRY MUSIC, CONNIE SMITH, THE FRIZELLS, BUT THEY ARE, ALSO, HARD TO FIND!

Great backing tracks. One or two duds but only minor. Tried a couple of other sites but Karaoke Version for me is by far the best.

When will we be able to change the keys more than 2 semitones ?

If you would like to modify the pitch further, one option would be to download a free audio software that would allow you to do such (we recommend Audacity). Please remember that changing the pitch reduces the quality of the audio files.

What I have had off you has been spot on . I'm still looking for coming home by the soldiers. Any chance, as do gig's for the forces now and again. And anyone who gigs in British legions it would go well. Thanks.

While Music may have become "democratized" & "available to everyone" let's not forget the incredibly hard work put in by songwriters who are being absolutely taken advantage of & ripped off by the music industry mainly in the internet and streaming regions. I know several artists whose songs, written entirely by them, have been downloaded over a million times, & their pay? 1400.00. Just how is that fair for the artist whose creation all of those millions of people are enjoying? Think about it

We couldn’t agree more! That’s why honest reproduction and credit going where credit is due is very important to us. For any purchase you make, a large portion goes to writers, composers, publishers... :)

In my experience with Karaoke Version songs, in a few tunes, an instrument may be loud and over powering the other instruments. Sometimes the backup vocals are too loud. Where is the Buddy Knox song called HULA LOVE? tHANK-YOU.

I found this report very interesting, that there were no country artist in the top ten, I am a big country music fan. I do find a lot of songs on Karaoke Version that I can't find anywhere else. I have suggested a lot, maybe some of those songs will become available this year. Thanks and Happy New Year to everyone
