The word karaoke comes from the Japanese words ‘kara’ meaning ’empty’ and ‘oke’ meaning ‘orchestra’. It first became popular in English in 1979
Karaoke is a Japanese word that refers to a performance in which a person sings along with recorded music. It’s a popular form of entertainment at restaurants and clubs: amateur singers choose their favourite well-known song to sing and then perform it for the crowd.
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin’
A poor little baby child is born
In the ghetto
And his mama cries
‘Cause if there’s one thing that she don’t need
It’s another hungry mouth to feed
In the ghetto
The child needs a helping hand
Or he’ll grow to be an angry young man some day
Take a look at you and me,
Are we too blind to see,
Do we simply turn our heads
And look the other way
And a hungry little boy with a runny nose
Plays in the street as the cold wind blows
In the ghetto
So he starts to roam the streets at night
And he learns how to steal
And he learns how to fight
In the ghetto
The young man breaks the rules
He buys a gun, steals a car,
Tries to run, but he don’t get far
And his mama cries
Face down on the street with a gun in his hand
In the ghetto
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin’,
Another little baby child is born
In the ghetto
And his mama cries
5 Tips for Singing Karaoke
Here are some other things to keep in mind about how to have a successful karaoke night:
Warm up your voice before singing so you can really hit those high notes! Follow along with this quick video on vocal warm ups for singers.
Look confident. Start with a smile and with your feet planted shoulder width apart. Make no apologies for being on that stage!
Pick a song you really know so you’re not always having to look at the lyrics on the screen. Don’t forget you have an audience that wants you to sing to them!
Use good vocal technique. Breathe low, and keep your sound placed in your mask rather than shouting into the microphone.
Practice at home! YouTube has many excellent channels, such as KaraFun, that can help you practice.
