Karaoke is a form of interactive entertainment or video game in which amateur singers sing along with recorded music (a music video) using a microphone and public address system. The music is typically a well-known pop song minus the lead vocal. Lyrics are usually displayed on a video screen, along with a moving symbol, changing color, or music video images, to guide the singer. In some countries, a karaoke box is called a KTV. It is also a term used by recording engineers translated as "empty track" meaning there is no vocal track.

- Trophy Wife: Kate and her best friend Meg Gomez went out to a karaoke bar and had a fun night, drinking and dancing on stage. An inebriated Kate fell off the stage, landing on patron Pete Harrison, breaking her nose in the process. Kate and Pete were married shortly thereafter. [2]
