Movie/TV clichés
In my, albeit limited, experience. Having people that can actually sing undermines the experience in reality. I don't want to hear somebody do a passable cover version of a pop song. Where's the value in that? A drunk making an ass of themselves is far more entertaining.

I think it's more that 'karaoke' is usually a celluloid byword for 'naff'. Having people that could actually sing would rather undermine this.
