What’s up? Anything been happening in the last few weeks? It’s been getting a lot busier here at @SingStarHQ in the run-up to the festive season but we don’t mind that at all. Once you see what’s in the 14th December update and we see your little faces light up with excitement, that’s what makes it all worth it!
Anyway, it’s not time for that yet (three more weeks sleeps) so let’s get on with the penultimate update of 2011.
Included this week, a brand new single from the very popular Coldplay called ‘Paradise’, some more Spice Girls which some of you have been waiting for plus the massive ‘Insane In The Brain’ by ‘Cypress Hill’. Yo! The exclusive and brand spanking new Hi-NRG SongPack got a few people in the office quite excited to say the least and I hope you’ll feel the same way. Five NRG-packed tracks to jump around to by the queens of the genre including Sinitta, Sam Fox and Hazell Dean.
For those of you into DanceStar Party, we released ‘Mix 3′ on the PlayStation Store last week, containing four more tracks to get your dancing shoes out for. Check out what’s available for download right here.
Also, lots more exciting stuff to come your way on the SingStar front soon so watch this space for more info.
See ya,
Nina xx

Well, you do get 16 dances and things for that though, so…

Great update. Best update for quite some time. Thanks Nina.
Could I please request some (any) Bad Religion tracks or even “Pushed Again” (from SingStar Die Toten Hosen) to be released on the SingStore?
As for DanceStar, could you please consider allowing us to buy tracks separately?
$11.45 (Australian) to buy a pack of 4 songs where we only like/want one or two is really expensive.
And, could you please consider turning these into dance tracks…
Heartbreak (Make Me A Dancer) – Sophie Ellis Bextor
Vogue – Madonna
The music videos have plenty of choreography, and they’re just begging to be turned into DanceStar tracks!
Posted on 21 November, 2011 at 4:13 pm by Nina Scherer
Glad you like it.
For the moment only packs are available and a lot of work goes into them so that is naturally reflected in the price.
We’ll add them to the mix and see what is possible – don’t get your hopes up on Madonna though!

I must say the update is quite good. Great songs from great singers. Can’t wait to see what you got for december 14th
As for Everybody Dance (DanceStar), the updates are good for now. But my friends were asking for more pop and recent songs. Katy Perry, Ke$ha, Britney Spears, Kylie Minogue, Madonna, Nicki Minaj, Janet Jackson and Jennifer Lopez would be so great to see some day. I hope you can get them asap!
I would like to tell you that I bought Singstar Back to the 80s and I’m loving it. Awesome tracklist. December 2nd is my birthday and I’m throwing a party with it. Photos will be posted for sure. Hehehe
Posted on 21 November, 2011 at 4:58 pm by Nina Scherer
Cheers! Me neither
Can’t wait for the pics!

Calvin Harris for me. It would be awesome with if we would ever see Lana Del Rey! Thanks
Posted on 22 November, 2011 at 11:30 am by Nina Scherer
Yeah – she’s pretty good, isn’t she?!

Posted on 21 November, 2011 at 3:58 pm by HumpyMunky
Great update! I’ll be getting Calvin Harris, Spice Girls, All-American Rejects and Tonic. Maybe Cypress Hill too.
Just curious if there is an update coming up? The viewer crashes my PS3 when i exit
Posted on 21 November, 2011 at 5:01 pm by Nina Scherer
Cool!
Yes, there is – I’ll let you know more when we have a date! We’ll be posting it on Twitter when the time comes (@SingStarHQ).

Hi Nina, how come updates have gotten lighter on content? Also there is harldy any communication anymore. The facebook page is barren, the updates have gotten smaller, the dance and guitar add ons are no more, and the if you have them add ons you can no longer play any songs in battle mode.
Are London studios fading out Singstar support? Please be aware I’m not complaing about the actual songs, but I’m used to updates with 20 songs in it. I mean not so long ago you up’d the price, so if upping the price doesnt = bigger updates, what am I paying extra for? Less choice?
You havn’t replied to many of my comments in the past, but I hope you reply to this one, please don’t see this as an angry post. I LOVE singstar and even this update I will be buying songs, I just want to buy MORE songs
Thanks

Hey,
It’s just what we can get hold of at the moment. Don’t forget, we already have over 2500 songs on the store and keeping it coming regularly. Not an easy task, I assure you

Awww, no Madonna for DanceStar
Well, how about “Heartbreak (Make Me A Dancer)” by Sophie Ellis Bextor, and “Room At The Top” by Adam Ant… on either SingStar or DanceStar???
Posted on 22 November, 2011 at 11:14 am by Nina Scherer
I’ll check it out

Posted on 21 November, 2011 at 4:57 pm by Graffin_UK
Oh, one final request. “Runaway Train” by Soul Asylum. It’s one of my favourite tracks to sing, but I hate having to keep swapping the PS2 disc in!
Will the tracks from the Hi-NRG SongPack be available for purchase separately (or eventually)?
Anyway, great update. Look forward to the next and final one for 2011!
Posted on 22 November, 2011 at 11:22 am by Nina Scherer
Great song! Love it. I’ll check where that is for the store but if we haven’t got it live by now, might now be coming for a while!
They will be available, yes so all you have to do is wait now

Yay! finally a Spice Girls song!! But… Wait! Wasn’t that on Singstar Boybands vs. Girlbans game? Oh yes… Expectations gone again
Posted on 22 November, 2011 at 11:23 am by Nina Scherer
Well, the store is also for people who may not have all the discs and might want this as a download

Personally, I think this is another godawful update. I’m more into what used to be called “indie” or what the US might call “alternative rock”. … personally I enjoyed the 90s indie scene more than any other… but I was in a club the other day, an 80s club, watching what people were singing along to… and wondering why the people who make SingStar don’t do that sort of thing. I recommend going to The After Dark in Reading on a Saturday night, it’s a more “credible” 80s night in there than most cheese-mongering 80s nights, and taking some notes as to what are popular singalong tracks, rather than however you do it at the moment, which seems to be totally random and incredibly out-of-touch… even with what are favoured “classics”.
However, well done for the Spice Girls track, it’s my favourite of theirs. But the choices just aren’t as diverse as they used to be… where are Nirvana? Let’s have some Britpop classics too, like The Bluetones, Charlatans, stuff like that. I beg you. SingStar is dying. Giz a job and I’ll bring it back in line.

So disapointing this update, and the person that came up with the Hi-NRG SongPack should be fired on the spot. Non of those “songs” are worth to be played ever again. There where some great songs in the days but these are not one of them.
And the xmas songs this year? Not holding my breath after all those disapointing songs you presented us in the past with.
Posted on 22 November, 2011 at 11:26 am by Nina Scherer
Thanks for your feedback. I shall talk to the big bosses and see if we can all get fired for putting some new and exclusive songs on the store which quite a lot of people will probably like. I’ll let you know how that goes.

On which disc was Example – Chamged The Way You Kissed Me released?
And thanks for the great update!! Contains recent and awesome songs!
Posted on 22 November, 2011 at 11:30 am by Nina Scherer
Thanks! Sorry – my bad – it was on a disc, just not a SingStar one

I’m really liking this update – a few of these songs are still current hits down under (Feel So Close and Changed The Way You kiss Me) and Paradise is still ascending charts worldwide!!!
Will grab Tonic, Spice Girls, AAR, and Martha and the Vandellas too – cool update
Posted on 7 December, 2011 at 2:03 pm by Nina Scherer
Yay!

Good update in quite a long time. When is a new patch coming out for the game? There are songs that dont even boot up anymore due to the last patch. I actually want a new patch with bug fixes more than new songs at this point.
Posted on 7 December, 2011 at 2:05 pm by Nina Scherer
We released a patch last week. Let me know if you’re still having problems.

Posted on 25 November, 2011 at 3:43 pm by Kyonkichikun
OMG.. finally some Spice Girls.. too bad it is an already released song. Would be awesome to have their other hits. 2 Become 1, Spice Up Your Life, Too much, Stop, Viva Forever, Holler, Headlines, etc..
Also Their solo stuff.. specially Melanie C and Emma Bunton
It would also be nice to have the Bryan Adams feat Mel C – when you’re gone, already released as well as Michelle Branch – Breathe
Thank you
Posted on 7 December, 2011 at 2:06 pm by Nina Scherer
Can’t get that Bryan and Mel song for now. I love it, too!

hi Nina… was just wondering if i was to import singstar back to the 80s to canada if it would still play on my north american ps3.
thanks for your time.
ps… your reply to #13 is gold!!
Posted on 7 December, 2011 at 2:01 pm by Nina Scherer
You should be able to play that with no problems.

Posted on 25 November, 2011 at 7:22 pm by xZzzonked
Yay, Example!
Just a question, would it ever be possible for you to release Backstreet Boys songs?
Posted on 7 December, 2011 at 2:38 pm by Nina Scherer
Maybe – been working on them for a long long time.

Hi Nina
Love The Update…. Of the 9 songs, i ended up buying 7… been waiting a long time fr tonic…. i bought the lemon parade cd back in 1996 for that song alone
Posted on 7 December, 2011 at 2:38 pm by Nina Scherer
Excellent! Happy to hear you liked that many!

Posted on 26 November, 2011 at 11:38 am by burnsey85
only 1 song for me this time (Example – Changed the way you kissed me) to be honest I’m abit dissapointed with this update considering this update is later than the usual 2 weeks there isnt an awful lot more, there are alot of singstar fans out there and it seems for a long time alot havent been listened to. more up to date songs need to be uploaded ALONG with older songs, I got kids in age range of 3-14 so they want to sing stuff thats in the charts now or that has always been popular?? I know you usually say that its not an easy process on getting certain songs but surely not ALL are hard to get?
Also as Steps are back together now will we be seeing any of their songs coming to singstore? Suprised that there is only 1 song (deeper shade of blue)
Posted on 7 December, 2011 at 2:42 pm by Nina Scherer
We’ve got tons of recent chart tracks on our wishlist, believe me, so hopefully one day they’ll all come through. Until then you (and us) will have to wait.

Posted on 26 November, 2011 at 11:47 am by burnsey85
at #12 I can understand why they can’t get alot of Nirvana, I’d love to have some Nirvana tracks on singstar but I think it’s mainly to do with Courtney Love she has rights to them and she is very picky about the use of Nirvana tracks, I know currently one of the band mates is in process of going to court with her over the music – think they want to release some kind of GH album possibly or something along those lines – but she is refusing to co-operate. BUT she recently said that X Factor (UK) could use some Nirvana songs and if she lets that show then surely she would not deprive us Singstar fans of belting out some Nirvana hits!

Posted on 28 November, 2011 at 8:20 pm by bailey8_
Who has been picking these songs over the last months? I always assumed singstar was made for an audience that’s for 80% dominates the billboard charts songs, i.e. adele, katy perry, Pitbull, justin bieber, Rihanna. Not saying that every one of them are cultural master pieces of our musical era, but they are a lot more fun to sing than the ones that have been coming out of late. I hope the selection gets a lot better, because even my little sister and gf rather sing along with glee on tv rather than bother singing with those old songs again on the ps3.

I was wondering if there was going to be some sort of update for the rap scoring. It is so frustrating. And until recently unplayable. Ive messed with my settings a bunch and can now get over 5000 on easy which still isnt right. Ive read other users having the same issues so i dont think its my settings as all the other songs score fine. Any tips are welcome too if theres a better setting for it. Thanks
