I know I've seen credits for karaoke versions with 'guide vocals' - http://www.ivesound.jp/karaoke/index.html lists a couple of those.

Far more common are 'karaoke' versions of songs where the primary vocalist is removed, but chorus and background vocals are left in. > All this is a (quite nice) way to solve a problem that I didn't > realize we had before, which leaves the two original problems still > standing.
