Chinese karaoke singer selection screen
Karaoke "empty" and kesutora " orchestra" lit. "EmptyOrchestra" 1 is a form of entertainment in which amateur singers sing along with recorded music using a microphone and public address system. The music is typically a well-known pop song in which the voice of the original singer is removed or reduced in volume. This is usually attained by using karaoke equipment or by using computer software which removes the vocals from the original track. Lyrics are usually displayed on a video screen along with a moving symbol or changing color and/or music video images to guide the singer. In some countries a karaoke music video with lyrics and the option to disable the original voice track is called a KTV. It is very commonly mispronounced as /krioki/ some people incorrectly spell it "kareoke".
