I hate to karoke! I can't sing a note. The term is also used by recording engineers when referring to an instrumental version of a recording. Do you like to karaoke?
Never been but i believe it is quite popular in Japan.
It's popular here in the United States. The concept of creating studio recordings without a lead vocal has been around almost as long as the art of recording itself!
Yea I can imagine, I wonder how old the concept is or where it originated.
I'm not sure of the date but many artists and amateurs perform where a full band is impractical so they use a karaoke recording instead. 
Thats pretty cool, what else is there to know about karaoke 
Well, karaoke is not to be confused with those who lip synch where a singer mimes to a song. lol
Haha yea my bad, whats some other interesting info tho
Well here's an interesting fact. Lip synching in film production is often done AFTER production has taken place.
oh wow really? Wouldve never guessed, well thanks for all the info and for correcting me.
