I just play acoustic versions of songs with the lyrics on screen for free lol.

Also karaoke machines probably have a much more diverse library than 65 songs.

My Wii U has a karaoke thing on it, not sure what that's about tbh.

I don't know anyone here who's into karaoke... I heard it's pretty big in Japan though.

Rock Band has a measured pitch (something karaoke machines don't have) so you actually have to sing in tune to chain combos if doing vocals.

Karaoke Machines use discs which you have to purchase (if you are going to legitimately expand your song collection) you get about 10-15 songs on a disc for.

Karaoke is pretty big in most of the world. Though unless you're going to the bars that are doing it you won't come across it.

This is what most people look and sound like when playing Rockband. I have some friends who love it and I've sat there enough times to know what the games are like. I tried Rockband 4 once at a friend last week and threw the controller away the second I realized I'm left handed and game developers don't give a shit about me.

For me video games are about doing things that aren't possible in real life. Everyone can learn to play music.

You mean they took the lefty flip out? Not got Rock Band 4 yet so don't know personally but previously ones did have left handed settings.

Second part is quite simply not true. And certainly not in a way that is like you being a member of your favourite band.

As for how people look and sound playing it. Yes, it's meant to be like that. They're enjoying it. They'll never be of the standard needed to do it professionaly (very few ever will be, even very good musicians have to put up with performing as a hobby). If you aren't somebody who enjoys singing along to their favourite songs and get caught up in airguitar etc. you're quite simply not the audience.
