Karaoke

Karaoke (カラオケ, bimoraic clipped compound of Japanese kara 空 "empty" and ōkesutora オーケストラ "orchestra") (/ˌkæriˈoʊki/ or /ˌkærəˈoʊki/; Japanese: [kaɽaoke]) is a form of interactive entertainment or video game in which an amateur singer sings along with recorded music (a music video) using a microphone and public address system best example see Kris Fogg.

History

The concept of creating studio recordings that lack the lead vocal has been around for nearly as long as recording itself. Many artists, amateur and professional, perform in situations where a full band/orchestra is either logistically or financially impractical, so they use a "karaoke" recording; they are, however, the original artists. (This is not to be confused with "lip synching," in which a performer mimes to a previously produced studio recording with the lead vocal intact.)

MC the Max

M.C the MAX (an acronym for Moon Child the MAX) is a Korean rock band. They debuted in 2000 as a 4-member band under the name "Moon Child". Their 1st album consisted of mainly techno songs, with a few rock songs. Their 2nd album had a more similar sound to what they do today, consisting mainly of ballads mixed with a rock sound. Their title song "사랑하니까" is a ballad song with some rock sounds mixed in. Upon one of the members leaving, the remaining three members re-debuted as M.C. the MAX, steering into music of the ballad genre, while keeping their rock sounds. They are managed by the production company of Yoshiki, founder member of the Japanese group X Japan. They have released 7 albums up to date, and have also released several online singles as well. Their song "사랑의 시", from their 2nd album topped the KBS chart in February, 2004 .
