SPRING 1995 • NUMBER TWENTYONE

“Karaoke USA recently had the honor of receiving the ‘Best Industry Publication’ award at the prestigious Karaoke Music Awards, for ‘having rapidly become an effective voice for our industry from manufacturer to end-user and all points in between.’ Mobile pros and venue owners across the U.S. are investing in new Karaoke gear and software every day, and KARAOKE USA is probably the most complete and diverse source of information on who’s who in the Karaoke business. I speak with many of our industry’s movers and shakers, as well as Karaoke’s critics. Some say that laser disc Karaoke is dead. Others say that CD Video will replace CD+G. Still others say that soon everyone will be singing Karaoke with their computers and other midi-based systems. And still others say that all anyone will need in the future is a subscription to the “Karaoke Broadcast Network.” And on and on. But, by any intelligent assessment, there’s room enough for everyone… with nowhere to go but up. So, I say stick around. The fun’s just begun.”
