For all you amateur singers thinking "I can do that!" every time you watch "American Idol," here's your chance to show your stuff — or at least get personally berated by Simon Cowell.

"Karaoke Revolution Presents: American Idol Encore" for the Wii (Konami, $59.99 with USB microphone) puts the mic in players' hands and challenges them to stay in tune while singing 40 hits from various decades.

In the main mode, users pick a character and an outfit and select how many songs they want to sing during their quest for stardom.

Nail the audition and the judges will send you off to Hollywood. Bomb, and Randy Jackson will be waving his arms to cut you off: "OK, that's enough. I can't take any more of this."

The karaoke interface is relatively easy to follow, but songs are a lot easier to sing correctly if you're at least familiar with them.

Notes are represented by blue tubes that scroll left-to-right across the screen. The length of each tube indicates how long to hold a note, and its position on the staff represents the pitch.

Your job is to keep the flying triangle — which resembles the ship from the arcade classic "Asteroids" — on each scrolling tube. That's accomplished by singing on key, which gets more difficult as you move up to "expert" level.

Songs are broken up into "phrases," or collections of several measures, and you're judged on each phrase separately. The phrase scores are then totaled into a final score.

"Karaoke Revolution Presents: American Idol Encore" is also available for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 ($69.99).

Two-and-a-half out of four stars.
