Say What? Karaoke
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Say What? Karaoke was a contest show on American MTV. Contestants would compete with one another by singing over popular songs while their video played. The lyrics to the songs would scroll across the bottoms of the viewers screens while they played. The show began as a special that was extrapolated from the current MTV show Say What?. The original specials were tongue in cheek, the hosts even admitted that they thought karaoke was a lame premise for a show. However the concept turned out to be extremely popular, more so than the show it had originated from.
Adam Green, Former member of The Moldy Peaches and now successful singer/songwriter, appeared on the show.
It is now not uncommon for any karaoke contests in the United State with no affiliation with MTV to be called Say What? Karaoke.
