Glee and TPain Apps

These two apps might be the most fun I’ve ever had with my phone.  Auto tuners, harmonies, pre loaded songs, or a capella (your choice). Self indulgent? Definitely. Crazy fun? Yep.

The first one is “Glee” and if you live under a rock, you might not have heard about Fox’s smash show – the most addictive show on TV as far as I’m concerned (you know, since Lost is over), and the show that has most successfully used Social Networking to increase it’s popularity by creating terrific buzz via Facebook and Twitter.  Anyway, I digress.  Glee is s Smule app available for .99 in the app store.  It comes with a few songs to get you started, and an ever growing catelogue of new songs, available for .99 a piece, although they’re playing with a new idea about unlocking songs as you reach different goals.  You can also use your iTunes library, but you can’t share those (more about sharing in a bit).

Plug in your headphones and start your song and sing along, choose whether you use Auto Pitch, or Auto Harmony, or both, or neither.  It does seem to sound better if you use a “smaller” voice rather than belting your songs out, but maybe it’s just the songs I’ve chosen.

When you’ve got something you like, you can share it on Facebook, Twitter, via a link, or you can broadcast it so that other Gleeks, all over the world can listen in, weigh in on your performance, or add their voice to your song.  Rate each others performances to earn “gleeks” which unlock a new song when you earn enough (currently it’s 50 and there’s only one song to unlock, but I’ve got hope for more!)

As my gift to you, here’s  my version of True Colors for you to make fun of as you see fit.

And if you’re not a show choir/musical theatre sort, there’s a similar app with a Hip Hop slant. I am TPain available for $2.99 with more content available for purchase.

Very similar features, this one came out first, but I’m sure no one here wants to hear me rap, so I’ll spare you.  Another app that’s great fun though, this one operates the same way.  Freestyle, beats, additional songs for purchase, and the ability to share it worth the world.

I think my favorite part of this one, is recording messages for my kids with the Auto Tuner – you know things like “did you finish your math? Well you should, cause I’m on a boat!” I think I’m very funny, don’t you?

I received no compensation for this post, I just love these apps.Similar Posts:
