This trope is when a public karaoke performance spotlights the singer/s's relationships with the people in the room. It comes in two varieties: The first is when one party is singing alone, but for the benefit of another character in the audience. The song choice and staging will usually complement this. Given the karaoke setting, it may or may not be an embarrassing attempt. The second is when two or more people are singing together. This variation showcases the chemistry between the singers. They are usually reluctant to sing with each other at first, but slowly gain more confidence as they become more comfortable around each other. This is usually an example of Duet Bonding. Usually, this is done between love interests as a form of Ship Tease, Serenade Your Lover, or Falling-in-Love Montage, and 'gratuitous karaoke' is fittingly considered a Romantic Comedy staple. However, it can also be done between other sets of people for other reasons, such as a call-out or a reconciliation. This is done because although singing karaoke in front of a bunch of strangers (or worse, acquaintances) can often be awkward, uncomfortable or embarrassing, it can be fun given the right mindset. Fittingly, karaoke numbers that do this often start out reluctant before the singer/s has/have a breakthrough and become more confident. In addition to moving relationships forward, this trope adds a musical number to a work that otherwise lacks it. It also allows for The Cast Showoff to showcase their vocal chops, even if they might be Hollywood Tone-Deaf at the beginning. Compare Karaoke Box, which is the main use of karaoke in Asian media. Unlike this trope, Karaoke Box takes place in an isolated room and usually serves to highlight the dynamics of a group instead of a couple. See also Gratuitous Rap. |

Variation in 27 Dresses, where it's not technically karaoke (rather, a singalong that the main characters lead a dive bar in). Jane and Kevin, initially at odds, belt out "Bennie and the Jets" at said dive bar and become closer to each other. | |

Sense8 does this in the fourth episode, when the cluster's Psychic Link causes them to all start singing "What's Up" by Four Non Blondes (started by Riley cuing it up on her music player and Wolfgang simultaneously choosing it at karaoke). Not only is the group singalong a joyous moment where the clustermates all interact for the first time, the romantic aspect of it is also used when Wolfgang shares an intimate moment with Kala while singing it. | |

In Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts episode "To Catch a Deathstalker", Kipo tries to invoke this trope with Wolf, but fails and ends up singing the entire song "Heroes on Fire" by herself while the younger girl fondly watches. Wolf begrudgingly admits that the song is stuck in her head at the end of the episode, and in the season finale, she and the rest of Kipo's friends end up singing it to get Kipo out of Shapeshifter Mode Lock. | |

Victorious: In "Tori and Jades Play Date", Tori and Jade are both having a miserable time on their forced "play date" and are trying really hard to get along despite their differences. Eventually, two obnoxious boys start to bother them, and won't take "no" for an answer. In a desperate attempt to drive them away, they agree to do some karaoke together, singing the song "Take a Hint"- not only does it (temporarily) fix their problem, but it also ends up being what makes them bond, with the last scene of the episode showing them getting along really well. | |

When Jim has a party without inviting Michael in The Office (US), Michael crashes it anyway, making everyone uncomfortable and unable to be themselves. In one scene, everyone is having fun around the karaoke machine, when Michael gets up to do a song. He sings "Islands In The Stream" by Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton, beginning with Rogers' section. It moves to Parton's section and he uses an awkward falsetto voice, making him look like a fool. When Michael finally arrives at the chorus sung by both Rogers and Parton, Jim gets up and joins him, clearly pitying Michael but also forgiving him. | |

Glee is a musical show and so characters frequently perform songs within the glee club for this purpose. However, karaoke is used in this way in "The Break-Up", where Finn invokes this by telling Rachel to sing with Brody onstage.

Variation in Never Rarely Sometimes Always. Autumn and Skylar are killing time at a karaoke booth in New York City, as Autumn is scheduled for a medical procedure in the early morning and the girls have no accommodations for the night. They are accompanied by Jasper, a boy who has taken an interest in Skylar. Autumn sings the song “Don’t Let the Sun Catch You Crying�, which has lyrics about being hopeful about a new day and new beginnings. Autumn is not necessarily singing this song for an audience, but for herself as she is about to undergo a major experience: getting an abortion. | |

Parodied in Isn't It Romantic when Natalie is asked to do karaoke at her good friend and potential love interest Josh's pre-wedding party. She starts out pitchy and unsure, but slowly gains confidence, backup dancers, and instrumentation; her rendition of "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" involves the entire bar and turns into an "I Want" Song about how she actually wants love. Note that this is parodied as the whole thing occurs in Natalie's comatose fantasy about her life as a romantic comedy; she herself is in awe at how it escalated into a Crowd Song. | |

In the Hey Arnold! episode "Principal Simmons", Principal Wartz leaves his job as school principal in frustration after teacher Mr. Simmons criticizes him for his strictness on the students. With Mr. Wartz's newfound independence, he goes to a karaoke session and sings "I Will Prevail", about the singer prevailing despite being apart from another. Mr. Simmons temporarily fills in as principal until he reconciles with Mr. Wartz, admitting that he wasn't suited for school principal. Mr. Wartz, after reclaiming his role as school president and bringing the school back in order, sings "I Will Prevail" at karaoke once again, but this time as a triumphant duet with Mr. Simmons. | |

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend: In "I'm Almost Over You", itself a Deconstructive Parody of the romantic comedy, this is parodied with the aptly-named number "Gratuitous Karaoke Moment". The lyrics are all about how a karaoke scene is usually an out-of-place moment that serves for the leads to be cutesy, and the number includes things like Maya cleaning up nicely when she appears, the camera spinning around them, and the love interests they're trying to make jealous frowning at their chemistry. The song is a Musical Pastiche of "The Start of Something New" from High School Musical, itself a karaoke number. | |

Friends: Phoebe's boyfriend Mike takes Phoebe and her friend Monica to sing karaoke at the bar where he plays the piano to hang out. Phoebe enjoys the hell out of this, and Monica is convinced to overcome her shyness. She later finds out men cheer her up because she wears a see-through blouse. Her husband Chandler jumps in on the podium to save her from embarrassment but she keeps singing because the audience still loves her. | |
