The contestants are tested in their song lyrics knowledge by filling in some missing words or sentences while singing the song.

Say What? Karaoke is a MTV-produced game show; two contestants sing in front of a karaoke machine a popular song with a music video. Then, they are rated from 1 to 10 by judges according to their performance. Wayne Brady’s Don’t Forget the Lyrics has the same concept as The Singing Bee but the contestant has a cash pot that he or she needs to maintain and increase by completing 10 songs; the potential prize for the contest is $ 1,000,000.

There is a British TV series named with the same term. The show tells a story of an English dramatist who is working on his TV play, “Karaoke”. American TV shows like How I Met Your Mother and Friends include a karaoke machine in one of their episodes. Internet shows also put karaoke in one of their gimmicks. FunnyOrDie pranked your local bar by dressing Jewel, the singer, as a white-collar professional and having her perform on stage. T-Mobile’s campaign “Life’s For Sharing” did an event where thousands of people did a karaoke simultaneously in Trafalgar Square.

In the cinema scene, there are also movies or scenes where you can see the actor or actress singing karaoke.

In the comedy-drama film Lost In Translation, there was a scene that Scarlet Johansson and Bill Murray were having a karaoke session with their Japanese friends.
