According to Wikipedia.org, the word Karaoke is a Japanese word derived from the words kara, “empty” or “void”, and ōkesutora, “orchestra.” Probably due to pronunciation, karaoke is often mispelled as kareoki, karoke, or karioke. Thus, we have other Internet users who frequently use the search keywords below:
- akon kareoke
- guns n roses kareoke
- aerosmith kareoke
- alicia keys kareoke
- alanis morissette kareoke
- abba kareoke
- kareoke
- alejandro sanz kareoke
- brian adams kareoke
- christmas kareoke
- algo mas kareoke
- alison krauss kareoke
- 50 kareoke songs
- britney spears kareoke
- best kareoke songs
Karaoke site Berkeleykaraoke.net cited another reason for the use of kareoki and it’s not because of wrong spelling. The website says, “It’s easier to say Kareoke in English than Karaoke which is why the term was adopted and more widely used in the eighties and nineties in the US…”
Surprisingly, besides the spelling differences (or for convenience purposes), the term for karaoke also varies from country to country. For example, in the US, the term mp3 karaoke is widely used. In the United Kingdom, France, Germany and Italy, the term is “backing tracks.” In the Philippines, Filipinos use “minus-one.”
Well, different people, different languages, different keywords. But we all know one thing – when it comes to video karaoke (or kareoki) and mp3 karaoke backing tracks download that you can play across all multimedia devices (ipod and ipod video, bulky and portable mp3 players, laptop, pc, mobile phone, TV), Singme.com is the site to go.
Have fun singing!
