Why it's best: The best-of-the-best, The Singing Machine SML-390 is loaded with great functionalities like Auto Voice Control and a TV output, not to mention a built-in 5.5" monitor that displays not only the output of the included video camera, but also the lyrics that are read from the standard CD-G discs.
