Everybody Dance has some pretty good songs, and seems to be pretty fun. The only downside seems to be that you don't really use your wireless mics to sing or any grading for the singing and secondly there is no way to capture full videos of your dance? Is there anyway to get this to work or anyone know if there is a way to ask for this feature in a upcoming patch?

Yeah, I tried the demo and bought the game soon after. My son loves it, and so do I. It does pretty much exactly what it needs to do, and although I miss a lot of SingStar's features, this game is focussed and easy to use, which it needs to be, and which results in my 3yo son being able to control it.
It does everything right that SingStar dance doesn't (and Dance Central did) - show the moves in advance, have different movesets for different difficulty levels, etc. And at the same time it still has the basic community features of sharing videos of you dancing with others (now you have 20 slots to start with for dance, and 100 for fitness). The accuracy of the tracking is good enough that there is a clear relationship between the moves you do and how well they are ranked. The routines are generally pretty good, and its very helpful that the dancers are also holding Move controllers.
Its fun to see the original videos and the connections they've sometimes made (dancer wearing the same dress, or accessory, dances in the routine that are also in the video), but for getting feedback of your performance versus the routine on display showing the video of yourself is perfect, and hard to beat.
EDIT: I realise the reason I've only seen one (German) review for this game so far is that it's called Everybody Dance overseas.
Btw if you look at the videos uploaded by people, very few of them actually have enough space for Kinect in those rooms
). I may do a review myself once I've done enough with the game, and I think the game should get its own thread. The game was super popular at GamesCom - there were a tonne of demo units and they were all permanently being played.
Actually, I'm hoping for an iWaggle3D analysis of this game ... TTP is probably extremely busy though, with so much Move stuff coming out.

Something that I discovered last night that might sour the SingStar experience for some people.
I like playing with the official stereo wireless headset from Sony (you know, the 7.1 gadget released a few months back). It has great sound quality and I prefer it since my neighbors probably already hate me enough. Here is the issue: using the wireless stereo headset along with the official wireless SingStar microphones causes radio signal fluctuation. It seems that the microphone is the most affected - the green connection light on the mic blinks furiously amber and at times, entire sequences of notes are not delivered to the console. This means lower scores and less fun.
A stupid oversight in terms of QC and frequency range, but something that should be known. It's not like the frequencies could be changed later on either.
Just thought I'd let you know. Turning the headphones off eliminates the issue. Of course I could always use the wired microphones, but I don't really care to have long cables in the living room.

Is anyone else having an issue with the disk swap on PS2 disk (swapping PS3 disk works fine)?
The songs load in the Singstar PS3 menu, but if you pick a song the screen goes black. I then have to quit out using the XMB.
Singstar is using the most current software, and the PS3 is on the current firmware.

It's not musical but rather pick a genre of music. After further probing they eloberated that it's just discount on existing songs. Disappointed.
I am more interested in what that "best bit" will be.
Well that's pretty disappointing. I'm pretty hopeful we'll get some blockbusters for the December update but I'm honestly not expecting much since Singstar seems to be on cruise control because they started working on Everybody Dance.

I'd like to have more musical songs, they're really challenging. Although, less of the spectacularly queer Technicolor Dreamcoat stuff, please. Defying Gravity, Anthem or something from Miss Saigon maybe?
I feel I'm playing Singstar less and less though. Rock Band has mostly taken over, except for those types of songs that aren't very interesting to play with instruments. But that's mostly a problem with a lack of scope in Rock Band.

I would give it a 7. Good first effort but still a ton of things that need to be tweaks.
*Full video playback
*More complicated dance moves (want it to be closer matched to the music videos)
*Better singing support
*Controller support instead of move only support
*Better than Just Dance but worse than Dance Central 2
*No way to download someone else choreographed dance
*Dance store has no way to preview the songs. Sony should add a video preview for the download pack like they have been doing for Singstar music packs
+Way easier to dance than singstar dance but moves just aren't the same
+20 people party nice competition but when you can really see the replay you just don't enjoy it as much. 20 seconds or less is useless
+Dance partners is a little easier to do
+Dance creator is a totally awesome idea
+Song selection great party songs that kill singstar dance
To me full video play back would probably change this 7 to a 8.
Has this started? I would love to try and force singstar to choose better songs to license! There are so many newer songs they could use!
Well they have added the voting tab in their Facebook page, but like I said before, it has nothing to do with licensing new songs. The whole "You Decide" thing is just for getting discount on existing songs in the store.

I will be getting the Take That pack, and around 5 songs from the list. Will wait for the other packs become individually available.
The bad news? They will pad the updates in the next 6 months with songs from these packs and call it a day. We've seen it happened after the huge update last year.

Let's just hope that SCEE turned a corner and won't do it that way
I was soo happy to see some newer songs on the store!

Combovers don't work when there is no hair
Billy Idol pack is tempting, as is that Status Quo song.
Anyhow, I've been thinking of getting a Move + some dance game to use for exercising a bit (yeah yeah, I know), but should I get SingStar Dance or DanceStar?

DanceStar would be the better dance game. Also has some basic workout features
linsivvi already posted it darn!

Adele pack is awesome. About 20 percent of The Voice (of Holland 2) songs were Adele ... (They probably do licencing deals ... ). She's hugely popular here also. My wife will be pleased, and I like them too as her svelte voice is fairly comfortably in my (low) range.
Also only just now noticed that I can now use the official headset for singing as well. It works really well, though when I listen back to the singing, it sounds positively tinny when compared to the wired microphones that I'm used to using. But it certainly works nice, and auto-detection for changing to and from the headset and the wired mike worked flawlessly for me too.
Very pleased.

I believe the problem is that the Sony groups operate individually so that will probably never happen. Adele is definitely huge everywhere, but she just recently broke out in the US last year and it just so happens that most of the time SingStar can only get UK artists.
Another example would be Taio Cruz. From the UK originally and broke out in the US so they have been able to get some of his songs for SingStar.
Being under SMG is neither a help nor disadvantage. So long as its not WMG.

I played a little bit of SingStar with my GF yesterday. The startup process takes forever. I have >330 songs in my library and it takes almost 2 minutes for the game to load up on my launch 60Gb PS3. Is it dying or is this a common problem? Also shuffling causes the library to rotate but sometimes it takes a second or two until the cover art is loaded. Sometimes it even happens that the wrong cover art is loaded.
The latest patch is installed of course and it doesn't seem to be related to which SingStar disc I'm using to start the game.
Do you have the same issues or is this related to my PS3 somehow?

Thanks for the reply. It sucks that this is normal but on the other hand I'm relieved that my PS3 isn't the thing failing here. Hopefully they'll patch this some time in the future. Startup times this long just suck

It's annoying but it's the same on Rock Band, where you have to sit at the start screen while the songs load. It seems both games need to scan the song directories, it would make more sense if there was a list saved that only updated when songs are added.
