If you tend to like games that are more belt-your-heart-out than shoot-'em-up, then you need a good Karaoke game for parties (and those nights alone when you've just got to sing and do jazz hands until you pass out). Check out my favorite leading Karaoke games for the big 3 of next-generation video game consoles.

Natasha Bedingfield Gets Down With Boogie Superstar

GeekSugar — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 10:08:21 -0700

EA announced yesterday that Natasha Bedingfield will be the official spokesperson for their newest singing and dancing game called Boogie Superstar. Why Superstar? Well, the fact that there are 40 new tracks by stars like The Jonas Brothers, Fall Out Boy, Leona Lewis, Katy Perry, my man Kanye, and of course Natasha herself, makes it a pretty big deal. Exclusively for your Wii system, Boogie Superstar is like a DDR/Singstar mash-up that not only has you showing off your vocal prowess, but uses the Wii's motion sensing technology to have you perform a sweat-inducing dance routine as well.

You could play alone in your room, but why not battle it out with your buds to see who can outperform who on Paula Abdul's new track? It will be like American Idol in your own living room, minus the crazy judges. Limber up and start your voice lessons now, cause Boogie Superstar will hit the shelves this October!

Last night I had the pleasure of checking out the second concert in the Grammy Celebration Concert Tour presented by T-Mobile Sidekick here in San Francisco, where N.E.R.D and Natasha Bedingfield hit the stage. I caught up with Natasha backstage before the show to talk about tech, her love for gadgets, and find out if her new hubby is into tech as much as she is. Here's what the British beauty had to say:

GS: Being the official spokesperson for Boogie Superstar for the Wii, does this mean you're an avid gamer?

NB: Well I particularly like the Wii; I like the fact that it gets people moving. My main gripe with video games is where people stay on their butts all day long. If you do it all day, then you're gonna look like you do it all day, and that's the thing I like about the Wii, it gets people moving.

GS: Would you say you are much of a gadget girl?

NB: I am a gadget girl. I've got my essentials that I take everywhere with me. I have a Mac and so many other gadgets. Normally my husband who knows every name of every product of the latest models, and maybe that's a guy thing, but I know what they do and I value them. I have a Canon camera that I love taking pictures with wherever I go.

To find out what kind of cell phone Natasha uses, and to see how she feels about celebrities Twittering and using Facebook, just read more.

GS: Apple or PC?

NB: I have had a PC, but I do like Apple. Once you get use to it, you can't really go back. But I do like both.

GS: What cell phone are you using right now?

NB: I use a BlackBerry. I don't like the iPhone that much, but I'm waiting for the next one to come out. There are certain things that you can't do with an iPhone that you can do with a BlackBerry. I type really fast on the BlackBerry, and have difficulty with the iPhone because of my fingernails. I love how you can zoom in and zoom out; it's really good technology, but they are going to have to tweak it.

GS: So by the sounds of it, your husband is really into tech as well?

NB: He's really into tech. If I have a new gadget, he's the first one to take it out of the box and try it out. I was given the Kindle for Christmas and I haven't even tried it yet, and he was the first one to use it. He spends hours doing research on new gadgets.

GS: How do you feel about so many celebrities jumping on board with social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter?

NB: Well I like it because I was never really good at fan mail. I love the fact that now you can just have instant contact with your fans you can tell them when a gig is, I just think it makes it really interactive and it feels more personal. I like MySpace and Facebook because I think it's more healthy for people to be on their own sites - you can just send a bulletin or note to them rather than just post it on your own website. It's like they have their own little network.
