Karaoke (カラオケ, Karaoke? 空 kara, "empty" or "void", and オーケストラ ōkesutora, "orchestra") listen (help·info) is a form of entertainment in which an amateur singer or singers sing along with recorded music on microphone. The music is typically of a well-known song in which the voice of the original singer is absent or reduced in volume. Lyrics are usually also displayed, sometimes including color changes synchronized with the music, on music video to guide the sing-along.
Karaoke has been a popular form of entertainment beginning first in Japan, then the rest of East Asia, since at least the 1980s, and has since spread to other parts of the world.

Japanese word for Sing-Along literally meaning "Empty Orchestra" with the lyrics displayed on your TV screen. All songs are performed in the style of the original artist. In Karaoke you have the music and backing vocals, while you sing the lead vocal. Don’t know the words? No problem. Karaoke sound tracks allow the lyrics to scroll across the screen of a standard TV.

Hi Nivea.....
"Karaoke" is a Japanese coined word. Kara means "empty" in English, and "oke" is a kind of abbreviation of orchestra. The word karaoke itself means the songs without vocals for the sake of the singing at the place where band cannot be prepared (such as small halls, bars, and so on). Today, the word mainly refers to singing with karaoke music, which is very popular in Japan as form of recreation.

It is where "aspiring" singers practise singing to the accompaniment of the melody of the song. It is a very popular practise in Japan and now gaining popularity too in other parts of the world.
