Webster's Collegiate Dictionary(Tenth Edition:1993)上說：karaoke一詞從1982年開始在美國報刊上頻繁出現。它的解釋是: a device that plays instrumental accompaniments for a selection of songs to which the user sings along and that records the user's singing with the music. （一種播放一些歌曲樂器伴奏的裝置，用戶可以隨之演唱，并可以把演唱和音樂同時錄下。）
Random House Unabridged Dictionary(1993) 的解釋是: an act of singing along to a music video, esp. one from which the original vocals have been electronically eliminated. （一種隨音樂錄影帶演唱的活動，特別是原唱被電子方法消除的錄影帶。）
