My daughter sings karaoke - very well. She also sings jazz, pop, rock, folk, lullabies children's songs. She writes tunes and lyrics at a more than competent level and plays guitar.

I would hate to try to explain this thread to her.

I have been to karaoke venues; I have run karaokes in prisons. Not my first choice but not my worst choice.

Music is music. The more it is live the better.

WAV not having seen karaoke invalidates your understanding
