Karaoke machine for Christmas? helps me people

[garlan5]

Looking for a decent karaoke machine for my kids (3.5, 5 in Jan, and 7). Two boys and the oldest a girl.
I'm not sure what I should look for but I do know I want it to be easy to get new kid friendly songs. We operate android samsung phones as adults and my daughter is getting a ipod touch for xmas. I say that because I realize some utilize phone apps for the lyric bars. I def want a simple easy set up and portability to the grandparents house would be ideal. I'd like feedback on units around the $100-150 retail price point with the hope to find some sales on black friday to bring the price point down.

With that budget you should be able to get a decent one with an integrated screen which is key. My parent bought this one for my 7yo daughter last Christmas and it needs to be hooked up to a TV, which isn't a big deal since its stationary. However, I will tell you that her and her friends have shown little interest in using it for karaoke. It's basically a microphone and amp that they use to make their screaming even louder.

Lol, I can imagine the screaming.
