Mariah Carey-oke iPhone app hits the App Store
With a name like that, we thought this had to be unofficial - but no, Mariah Carey-oke is an iPhone app made by UMG. It costs $3.99, and lets people sing along to four of Mariah's songs - Obsessed, Touch My Body, Don't Forget About Us and Shake It Off - scoring points if they do it well enough.
"There are four levels of difficulty to pass through as you master the rhymes and train your voice to sound just like Mariah Carey," says the blurb, although we sense you may need artificial help from a dog-whistle to really nail it. News, tour info and Facebook/Twitter integration are all built in too.
Our only criticism: couldn't they have picked more famous Mariah songs? Perhaps it's not a problem for the hardcore fans who'll snap this app up, but for those of us you who fancy a crack at Vision Of Love, I'll Be There or that one with Westlife in the boat, the tracklist may be disappointing. Edit: We've just twigged it's probably because UMG don't own the rights to those tracks. (Music Ally)
