Staraoke is a children's game show (from 8 to 12 years old) based on karaoke, which aired on Boomerang in Europe. The show was created in Finland by the company Intervisio and was broadcast on MTV3 from 2003[3] to 2011.

The show's format began to be sold in Europe in 2006; the first two countries to create their own Staraoke version were Hungary and Sweden, which were aired on Minimax and TV4 respectively.[4] In 2007, Intervisio won an International Interactive Emmy Award for "Best Interactive Programming" thanks to Staraoke.[5]
