Great game, got it for my kids, and even I play with them

I got this game for my kids, my daughter loves to sing, is in chorus, and I was trying to chose between this and Idol as a gift. I am very impressed with the game, and even I often play it with them. We have had an amazing amount of fun since we got it.
The one complaint I here about the songs over and over. As far as the speed to download songs, it is like anything on the PS3, if you are over WiFi it will take FOREVER. Once you pop in an Ethernet cable it takes just 2 minutes or so per song, if even that. As far as the cost, if you consider you pay $.99 for an MP3, mostly due to royalties $11.49 for a video that integrates into a video game isn't that bad. I got my kids a $20 PSN Network Card at Target, which is a prepaid card you can add to a PSN account. They so far have added 12 songs to the machine, and it has provided us with endless fun.
Not all of the songs that came with it are worth singing for us personally, but consider two things. First, they have to have enough variety on the disc to appeal to everyone. Second it is a party game, and if your pool of friends is diverse at all, you will utilize more songs just by having people over and having fun.
Excellent game, we have been very happy with it. I would without a doubt recommend this to anyone looking for a Karaoke style game.
