| From the Where2sing.com forum: I think that the fundamental basis to karaoke is that someone sings a song. Thus, where the song is continuously interrupted by people's shouting for it to end, hurling abuse, and with drag queens talking over the top, I think the basis for karaoke is lost.
Scruffy Murphy's karaoke is also with drag queens, and poor singers are also sometimes summarily thrown from the stage, but any half decent singers are able to continue right through their song. Still an intimidating setting, though.
Entain Karaoke started as a 'Gong Show' with this format, but very quickly found that it didn't work for those who enjoy singing and hearing singing, and thus Entain quickly joined the standard format.
