Singstar Update: Late, But Totally Worth It Edition

If there's one complaint I have with Singstar's otherwise perfect execution, it's that the updates for DLC content aren't often enough. I just can't get enough new songs and wait for each update with my fingers crossed. Sometimes we get unexpected awesome (Justice's D.A.N.C.E.) while other times we get unexpected garbage (Bratz's Friends Are Everything), but more often than not we get a good mixture of genres and singing styles and this week is no different.
Songs from this week's European update:
2 Unlimited - "No Limit"
The 411 - "Dumb"
Ane Brun - "True Colors"
Anouk - "Nobody's Wife"
Anouk - "Girl"
David - "Wild At Heart"
Di-rect - "Adrenaline"
Europe - "Carrie"
Jimmy Barnes - "No Second Prize"
Paul McCartney - "Dance Tonight"
Pet Shop Boys - "West End Girls"
The Potbelleez - "Don't Hold Back"

I can't wait to do my best Neil Tennant impersonation, followed by rounds of rolling around on the floor while moaning and capping the evening off by feeling some of this noise that the kids keep talking about. Of course, what makes this update one to remember for me is the inclusion of one of my guiltiest of guilty pleasures. Anything on the list strike your fancy?








Damn. If I had a PS3, I would totally buy this game just for the PSB song.
Although I kind of wish they had picked something a little less predictable than "West End Girls." I get that it's a karaoke game and they want songs that people know... but why not something like "Heart" instead?
Crap! I need Singstar for the PS3, NOW. If only for the Hot Chip and Glasvegas songs.
@ hoskie: They also have "You Were Always On My Mind" on the SingStore. While I'd love to see Rent or King's Cross up there, West End Girls is still a good addition.
More Pet Shop Boys songs are required! I'm a Pet Shop Boys DEMON!
More importantly, they should get some PSB stuff on the Lips side of things, too!
dumb question: are these US or European updates? or both?
i wish they would have us updates geared more towards us bands instead of uk bands ive never heard of. also have beef w their rap section......the ting tings.....rap? ru kidding me? jay z 2pac biggie anyone?
