Karaoke (????, Karaoke? from Japanese kara(?), "empty," and okesutora, "orchestra") (pronounced /k??r???o?k?/; in Japanese IPA: [karaoke];) is a form of ENTERTAINMENT in which singers sing along with recorded music using a microphone and public address system. The music is typically a well-known song in which the voice of the original singer is removed. Lyrics are usually displayed on a video screen, along with a changing color to guide the singer. In some countries, karaoke with video lyrics display capabilities is called KTV. It is very commonly pronounced /kæri?o?ki?/, leading people to also incorrectly spell it "kareoke".
