Karaoke is a Japanese coined word. Kara means empty in English, and oke is a kind of abbreviation of orchestra. The word karaoke itself means the songs without vocals for the sake of the singing at the place where band cannot be prepared (such as small halls, bars, and so on). Today, the word mainly refers to singing with karaoke music, which is very popular in Japan as form of recreation. http://www.is.titech.ac.jp/~fujimoto/Japanesque/karaoke.html

This is the deinition I find in Answer.com and it matches my understanding of the English word adapted from Japanese. . 1. A music entertainment system providing prerecorded accompaniment to popular songs that a performer sings live, usually by following the words on a video screen. 2. The performance of such music. [Japanese : kara, void, empty + oke(sutora), orchestra (from English ORCHESTRA).]'. . http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery?s=karaoke+definition&gwp=13

Karaoke (カラオケ?, a portmanteau of Japanese kara(空), "empty," and Åkesutora(オーケストラ), "orchestra"): A display of exhibitionism including loud, off-key vocals to songs they may or may not know in a language that sometimes is not their own. In short, a theoretically enjoyable evening turned sour by the truth that not very many people sing well and it's only cute when its your girlfriend. Or so goes my definition.
