Ideally, you will score enough Karaoke Revolution points to win a diamond record (100,000 points). Each of the karaoke songs is divided into 30 to 50 phrases. A meter fills up and goes from red to green to show how well (or how poorly) you are doing.
If you manage to fill the meter to green several phrases in a row, then you will create a combo and be awarded double points for your next phrases (until your phrase meter is red again). The blue meter will indicate how you are doing at holding the notes and maintaining the proper pitch. As you win points, you will receive bonuses. You'll be able to unlock characters, outfits or songs. As with any game, there are very skill levels, allowing you the ability to beat the game in several different ways.
One downside to Karaoke Revolution is that the karaoke songs have not been leased, so they are all performed by cover bands and artists, rather than the originals. If you think this will really bug the crap out of you, then you may want to consider Sony's Sing Star series, which features only original artists and music videos.
However, Sing Star is not without faults too. Critics say this karaoke system doesn't engage players enough because it splices so many music videos in, rather than allowing the user character creation or avatars.
Also, some of their karaoke CDs are better than others, with Sing Star, Sing Star Party, Sing Star 80s and Sing Star Rocks faring very well, compared to Sing Star Abba, Sing Star Vol. 1 and Sing Star Vol. 2, which were considered "a loosely thrown together collection of what the charts say is cool, with little regard for what will make a karaoke party fun."
