Singing Karaoke for Fun

Karaoke is usually pronounced ‘care-E-O-key’ and is commonly misspelled as ‘kareoke’, ‘karioke’, and ‘karoke’, among other misspellings. Karaoke is a word formed from putting two Japanese words together. Karaoke is a appropriately formed from two Japanese words and means “empty orchestra.” Karaoke is a Japanese abbreviated compound word: “kara” comes from “karappo” meaning empty, and “oke” is the abbreviation of “okesutura,” or orchestra.

Karaoke is popular all over the world. Amateurs sing along to recorded instrumental versions of popular songs. Starting about 30 years ago this entertainment has spread from Japan to the rest of the world. Karaoke started out in restaurants and hotel bars and businesses called karaoke boxes soon became popular.

Karaoke has been entertaining people ever since its invention almost 30 years ago, and has become firmly established in Japanese society, going far beyond just a temporary boom. Karaoke is becoming the entertainment of choice at parties and company functions. Karaoke is not only fun, it’s affordable. Karaoke is meant to be fun, and while there are very good singers at karaoke shows, you do not need to be able to sing well to participate.

A basic karaoke machine consists of a microphone, a means of altering the pitch of the recorded music, and an audio output. Karaoke was a 90′s fad as well. It was not uncommon for some bars to have karaoke performances seven nights a week, commonly with much more high-end sound equipment than the small, stand-alone machines noted above. As the available selection of music has increased, more and more people within the industry see karaoke as a very profitable form of lounge and nightclub entertainment.
