If you have been trying to avoid MySpace but couldn’t just do it because you have accumulated too many contacts in your profile that you don’t want to lose, well soon, you just might ban MySpace from your online life for good. MySpace is set to launch a new feature, albeit an annoying one; MySpace Karaoke.

This could probably be the worst application ever to hit MySpace, not because it is technologically flawed, but because it is definitely a feature that many would find annoying, including yours truly. To be launched on Tuesday, MySpace Karaoke will, heaven forbid, allow users to belt out their favorite songs, record their renditions and stick them up on their MySpace profile, so that their MySpace contacts can rate their performance, no matter how awfully good or bad those performances are.

Sing in the shower? Sing in the rain? Sing about any chance you can? Now why not sign with your iPod as opposed to belting out those tunes unguided. The Griffin iKaraoke offers you a compact microphone that plugs into your iPod and at the flick of a switch, existing vocals fade into the background, leaving instruments and backing vocals intact, allowing you to step up and be the next American Idol. iKaraoke sends the music and your voice (good or bad) to your stereo system for the world to enjoy via a FM transmitter or a direct connection. Finally, three levels of reverb try and help you sound your best.

Everyone’s favorite singing machine will be available in the winter of ‘06 or an undisclosed price. Now excuse me while I practice the YMCA.
