American Idol Karaoke Introduction
The American Idol Karaoke label seems to have one of the most confusing disc IDs. For the most part, we have some that start with AI. But some use AIN. However, we list everyone available for cross-referencing purposes. We also list their AKA numbers.
This collection and the television programme work side by side, of course. American Idol is a popular show, as you know. Meanwhile, the brand name is solid. So, how do these karaoke discs perform? Well, they are made by Sound Choice (review those here). That means they are guaranteed to be of excellent quality!
Indeed, all information about the label, content, and quality of the music would be most welcome. You could also be a star by giving us your opinions about this American Idol karaoke label!
The reason why these karaoke discs have an info page is that their splash screens are different. Moreover, their sleeves and CDGs look like they have a unique identity. However, if you are saving the SC CDGs, beware of duplications. However, we also have a digital version of these songbooks to help eliminate dupes.
So far, a few members have sent in a list of the American Idol disc ID numbers. These are the ones that the majority have in their karaoke songbooks. In contrast, other karaoke jockeys (KJs) may have a different numbering system. However, we list the discs most commonly in use:

American Idol Karaoke Review
Of course, we checked the splash screen first. This label appears to have three different info screens.
The first screen shows the American Idol logo, while the second shows the song title “in the style of (artist)”. The third screen shows the starting key. It also shows the song’s duration and the length of the musical introduction. You might think this was unnecessary, but the screens don’t linger, so it is acceptable.
Our first sample displayed light blue lyrics on a dark blue background, and that blend was fine. The on-screen lyrics then changed to a pink shade as the song progressed. However, other samples had different colours. But all were big, bold, and legible.
We couldn’t fault the choice of backing music, and the lyrics kept in sync throughout. The end splash screen displays the American Idol logo once again.
There are no fancy graphics during a musical break. But, the duration of a break shows up as “measures”.
We found the cover art acceptable but a little too bland. Moreover, the colours were reaching saturation.
Karaoke Sample
Although we may use numerous songs for the review, we only provide one sample video to represent the label. So, the song sample for our video presentation is AI070-01 – Whitney Houston – I Will Always Love You.

Desirability Factor
Because they scored highly in our review, these discs are highly desirable. So, go ahead and add them to your collection if there are songs on them you like.
We appreciate that most karaoke discs nowadays are only available as used products. The prices will be lower than buying new, but always ask about their condition before buying. Old, scratched CDGs may still play, depending on the damage. But always go for the best!
We found these American Idol karaoke discs for sale in various places. For example, loads are on eBay at the time of writing (2014).
So, good luck with your search if you want these karaoke discs. Remember, they are from Sound Choice. Because of that, they will perform well.
American Idol Karaoke Songbook (Discs & Digital)
Now that you have a list of all the discs in this collection, you need to know the tracklisting. As ever, we have the songbook for this series on the next page.
The songbook shows tracks sung by many famous artists, of course. In this case, the songs are also some of the most popular ones. That is what you would expect from this series due to its public exposure. The American Idol series may also be included in the SC songbook. However, many people want this one because they saved the series.
There was also a need to create a digital songbook for the AI collection. We did this because of the complicated prefixes. This way, we can guarantee no duplicate tracks. So, why not change to the digital version? This is easy to do by following our songbooks. You’ll save space on your hard drives and save on paper and ink in the process.
