KjAthena said:"Is this the original artist that wrote and performed the song? If so, that's about as legal as you can get. if this is an artist doing a cover tune and syncing lyrics to her version, and giving you permission to use her work, then you need to ask: 1) did she acquire all the licenses needed to create a karaoke version of the song? If the answer's no, then SHE'S infringing copyrights of the original artist. In this case she's simply giving you permission to use her illegal material."

most of hers is original but yes she got the licences to do karaoke tracks for the few others really thinking of taking her up on splitting the studio time for a couple of her song "red hot red hat mama's" may become a signature song:sqwink:
I'm already practicing this one
