Normally I wouldn't make a thread revolving around a single song in the request forum, but I've been hearing this song on the radio for quite some time. The lyrics seem to make the song a perfect karaoke anthem and it would be incredibly awesome if a company were to do that track. I would be utterly surprised (in the bad sense of the word) if this song never got karaoke manufactured.

Well, I just recently found out that a karaoke manufacturer actually decided to put this song onto a disc. The name of the manu is Fast Trax, but I'm pretty suspicious about how it works as a company, because they do not have an official web site. Considering that there has not been any more new discs from Quik Hitz in awhile, I assume this illegitimate company is just attempting to hide themselves by releasing discs under their new name. Still, it's at least cool that a karaoke company, legit or not, has managed to do this song. I just wish Sound Choice would get back to their game and keep coming with the new hits. It's been over a year since they put out their most recent disc and all they wanna care about now is how much sales they should earn from the GEM series. They had a good idea on how they could further profit from their old releases. However, Sound Choice need some new hits already. I know I've been saying that for awhile, but releasing discs on new hits every month just like the other legitimate manus could mean better sales if they just do their marketing right and follow requests for more popular songs that somehow never seemed to make the karaoke cutting room floor before. If Sound Choice wants to live on as a karaoke company, they need to not just keep with the times, but be unique about it as well by being more request based than how the other manufacturers operate, as long as the licensing isn't too much of an issue.

Believe it or not, we just typed in our search engine "Is fast traxx legit" and found this forum.
I have only physically seen one fast traxx in person and it was just a cd-r with less than professional graphics on it. We do not sell many types of discs, including fast trax because we too have reached a level of distrust in the product where we could not sell it in good conscience until we hear otherwise.
Things to note:
1. Cannot find the maker of the disc. 2. Checked trademarkings and there is no owner 3. Discs are clearly burnt/homemade looking (but that could of changed, don't know)
Bottom line. Due to the increasing confusion in the market, the lies, etc. When you buy a karaoke disc from this point on, espeically new releases, you NEED to be able to personally contact the manufacturer of the discs. So if a seller tells you that they do not have the info, then DO NOT buy the discs! That's our position/opinion on this matter.
Anyone finding any information or told anything by any seller, please be sure to post it on here!

Thanks for trying to let more people know about the illegitimacy of Fast Trax, MADPROAUDIO.
What I think that company does to make their discs is steal audio that was originally created by Karaoke-Version.com and try to sell it as their own by burning a set of graphics over each track. Honestly, I have compared the tracks in production on that site with what gets released on the Quik Hitz/Fast Trax discs and their choices are practically identical.
Though I use audio from Karaoke-Version at the venue I commonly go to and have put my own graphics onto every track I burn on the CD-Rs I use for the performances I do at this venue, I have never sold the discs I make with these tracks because I know a good chunk of copyright violations can be brought on me from doing that.
However, Karaoke-Version.com is a great site and I grab some amazing tracks produced there which Quik Hitz/Fast Trax seem to miss out on when they're making their bootleg discs. I recently sang "Bitch Came Back" from Theory of a Deadman at the karaoke venue I usually go to and I don't think a single company, not even the bootleg ones have ever considered releasing karaoke for that song on a disc (then again, the Theory of a Deadman song "Bad Girlfriend" was a super popular radio hit and that one never got onto a karaoke CD+G either). Basically, though Fast Trax is striving to put what is currently the most popular hits onto each of their karaoke discs, when you go to that site I mentioned and look at the catalogues from more professional and legitimate manufacturers, you realize that there are much better options out there concerning the quality of your karaoke experience.
