KARAOKE

For people 1_______________ me, who definitely can’t sing but really love trying, there is one answer: karaoke. This form of entertainment originated in Japan, where people generally enjoy picking _______________ a microphone and singing after work or at parties. However, in recent years, it has gained in popularity around the world. So, why did karaoke become so popular in the first place? Because it gives people _______________ unique chance to sing well-known songs without the lead vocal, but with the lyrics displayed on a screen. The changing colours indicate which words you should be singing at any particular time. Whenever I am invited to a party, I always ask the host _______________ they’re planning entertainment known as a ’karaoke session’. Whenever the answer is ’yes’, I make sure to be there. I know I can’t sing, but I can’t resist the temptation to do it!
