I really love to sing karaoke.  Do you do any karaoke?
1_Wizard
Not much! My voice isn't the best! I would prefer to lip synch and pretend to sing a previously produced recording

That is fun too, but part of the joy of karaoke is the bad singing.  I wonder where karaoke started?
1_Wizard
The concept came about because they wanted to create recordings that lack the lead vocal. It has been around nearly as long as recording itself.

That is funny.  Does anybody make money from karaoke?
1_Wizard
I know their are game shows out there now where people can win money based off of Karaoke.

That is cool, I've seen TV shows out there based on lip synching now, too.

It started on TV from 1961-1966, NBC carried a karaoke series called "Sing along with MItch". They put the lyrics to the songs on the bottom of the TV screen

That is crazy, I had no idea people liked it that much.  People must really love karaoke!
