Hi, I like to sing karaoke. This type of music lacks vocals and provides the words so people can sing along.
I cannot carry a tune, so karoke would be painful for everyone around me!
It is fun when doing it with friends late at night. No one cares about singing abilities.
I guess that is true - but it would be soooo bad - LOL!
There used to be a karaoke show on TV in the 1960s called "Sing Along with Mitch". I wonder how popular it was.
I've never heard of that show - I bet it was funny,
It was on NBC and featured a chorus with superimposed lyrics on the bottom of the TV. It sounds like a really fun idea.
That does sound like fun - although i do like that new one where they rap to each other
. The primary difference between Karaoke and sing-along songs is the absence of the lead vocalist.
Sing-alongs (present since the beginning of singing) fundamentally changed with the introduction of new technology. In the late 1960s and into the 1970s, stored audible materials began to dominate the music recording industry and revolutionized the portability and ease of use of band and instrumental music by musicians and entertainers as the demand for entertainers increased globally. This may have been attributable to the introduction of music cassette tapes, technology that arose
pub's karaoke night and the pair began writing tracks together. Wilson later recalled "What struck me at first was that he could play piano and guitar and he was a great foil for what I was doing... After a while playing together he said, 'Can I sing this one?' I said, 'Do you know the words?'... [he had a] mighty voice. A lot of people can play guitar... Not many can sing like that."
