Whether you're a die hard fan or not, it's hard to ignore American Idol these days. And why would you, the auditions alone are both hilarious and heartbreaking at the same time. Now that the season is really gearing up, why not put your own skills to the test with Karaoke Revolution:American Idol Encore 2.

Gather round the Wii and see who's got the chops in your family. Choose from 40 new hit songs, four different venues and even compete with friends online. It's great for beginners and songbirds alike, and apparently even Simon is a little nicer with his critiques. It also comes with a microphone so you don't have to belt into that hairbrush anymore. It's a great gift for music lovers and gamers alike. 

Karaoke Revolution Presents: American Idol Encore 2 for Nintendo Wii starting at $49.99.
