So, they launched a new version of Ksolo without video and with a limited catalogue with 3.000 songs, and only for the US market???? I can't believe it!!! ;-) We are running an online video karaoke with more than 13.000 songs, and we are working to launch also in the US market in May. At this moment the website is only for Spanish speakers, but I think our offer is quite better than this failed Myspace Karaoke.

C'mon! No karaoke experience can be complete without *watching* the poor performer (and beer, but TC has not yet mentioned a MySpace Beer acquisition). kSolo would be better suited as a complement to MySpaceTV rather than being another isolated entity.
