Before you decide to make a decision on what karaoke system you should hire, first of all you must keep in mind that not all karaoke systems are the same. Factors that determine what is a better karaoke machine or karaoke system to hire, include: what quality the karaoke equipment is, what type of microphones are used, the quality of the karaoke songs and the service you will receive from the karaoke provider.

Karaoke is a portmanteau of Japanese kara, "empty" and akesutora "orchestra". Karaoke is a form of entertainment in which singers sing along with recorded music (and/or with a music video) using a microphone and public address system. Lyrics are usually displayed on a video screen. Sometimes spelled kareoke, karioke & karaokie.

A karaoke machine includes a set of speakers with sufficient power to cater for the number of guests, good quality microphones that will replicate your voice without distorting it, a good collection of karaoke songs (older systems include DVD players while the new technology includes digital midi formats), a sound technician and clear display to show song lyrics.

You may wonder how karaoke songs will display lyrics as the music progresses, well it's simple, first of all your display will display lyrics in pages, as the words to the karaoke song change so do the lyrics on the screen. All karaoke songs do not contain lyrics, although they may sometimes contain chorus singing. There are also 'duet' songs which allow for 2 people to sing to the song at one.
