What's Karaoke?

Karaoke means, "Empty Orchestra" (properly pronounced Car-e-o-kee)
Karaoke was discovered in Japan and has now been around for over 20 years. Karaoke is pre-recorded music in which the lead vocals have been eliminated or re-mixed out of a song. After you have selected a song of your choice or your friends choice, you and your friends get to sing that song with help from a TV screen displaying the words of that song. The words of the song scroll across the screen and as a particular word is supposed to be sung it will change color, this helps you keep proper time with the tune as you sing.
