The Japanese word stems from the words kara (空), meaning "empty" (as in karate, "empty hand") and oke which is short for ōkesutora, meaning "orchestra". The words together make a contraction literally meaning "empty orchestra".
This term used to be slang for media where pre-recorded music substitutes for a live performance, thus it is written in katakana. The term Karaoke can be interpreted as "virtual orchestra" because one can specify a key to the music and start singing along without the presence of a live band or orchestra. In the United States, the word is often pronounced as /kerioki/, and in Britain /kaerieoki/. The Japanese pronunciation is /karaoke/. (These pronunciations are in IPA.)
It is a popular urban legend that Karaoke is Japanese for "tone-deaf". This is not true, though it is amusing.

Does karaoke mean tone deaf?
No. Contrary to popular belief, it does not mean tone deaf (although many of the people that sing karaoke seem to be). Karaoke typically removes only the lead vocal(s) from recordings, allowing the singer to overdub the original voice. Karaoke is actually Japanese for "empty orchestra" kara 空 = empty オーケストラ　o-kesutora (got shortened to オケ (oke) = orchestra And that's what you get, kara (empty) oke (orchestra) = karaoke
