SingStar is a competitive karaoke game for the PlayStation 3, and is a follow-up to the PlayStation 2 SingStar series. SingStar is developed by SCE London Studio and published by Sony Computer Entertainment.

Features

My SingStar Online is the online component of SingStar. The idea for My SingStar Online was inspired by people uploading photos and videos of SingStar parties to websites such as Flickr and YouTube. The game will record photos and videos of players singing with the PlayStation Eye, which can then saved to the PlayStation's HDD or uploaded to the My SingStar Online network. People will be able to rate each others performances and leave comments on their profiles.

Existing SingStar-brand USB microphones will be compatible with the new game. Wireless Bluetooth microphones are under development, although they weren't ready in time for the launch, as originally promised. Lead Designer Kevin Mason stated that they have working Bluetooth microphones, but there are technical challenges running both microphones at once. The game will also feature compatibility with the PlayStation Eye and the PS2 Eyetoy.

The game will ship with 30 songs on disc, with the ability to download more songs from the online SingStore. The SingStore initially launched with 41 songs, including selected songs from the PS2 back catalogue, with more songs to be added regularly. The downloads will feature the entire music video, and will be in high definition where available.

Unlike most previous SingStar games, SingStar for the PlayStation 3 features the ability to remove vocals. The songs will feature the original music artist, and be adapted from a single track master as with previous versions. SingStar will then attempt to digitally remove the vocals from the track. The game will also allow users to fade out the vocal track once it detects the user singing, and return it if the user stops. The technology is unable to work on some songs due to the way they were mixed during recording.

Tracks that were demonstrated at E³ 2006, but do not appear on the final track list, are: Avril Lavigne's "Complicated", Coldplay's "Speed of Sound", Culture Club's "Karma Chameleon", Franz Ferdinand's "Do You Want To", Marilyn Manson's "Personal Jesus", Queen's "Don't Stop Me Now", Soft Cell's "Tainted Love" and The Darkness's "I Believe in a Thing Called Love".
