Works exactly as stated. The kids LOVE seeing themselves on the TV or on the Karaoke machine! My kids are 5,5,5 and 8, and were thrilled with the all Christmas music CD&G disc that came with the machine. The other two (actually there are four discs total, with one being a shorter demo disc and three full discs) are mix CD&G's with a variety of songs from the 70's, 80's, 90's and a couple of recent hits. The camera could be clearer, but we've found the angle of the camera and bright room lighting make a big difference. Two children can be seen on the screen at the same time if they stay close together. And we bought the second mic at Wal-Mart for under $10. This is definitely the machine to buy! My shy 8 year old is even loving it because of the camera, and she wouldn't go near one of these before!
