Nope. It's just that you aren't lucky enough that your playlist songs are still not on AMS list. Even for me it currently works only with few songs.

Clearly you don5 get the pi8nt. But you know. Semantics.
+1 to integrate MICS in Sing.
ATV4K with Sing and without mics… is a “meh”… Amplifying voices (potentially correcting them with auto-tune features) would be a must for a real karaoke solution.
I used for long the Playstation karaoke games, such as Singstar, and still own the old Sony PS wireless mics: they were RF mics (not bluetooth) connected to a USB dongle… Maybe apple could interface these external usb mics so to even avoid old bluetooth latencies. But - honestly - I’m not an expert of the Bluetooth protocol and its newest updates: I think that now the historical latency has been reduced a lot (as there are some new pro mics being released exploiting BT protocol, not RF), and BT might represent a viable solution. Potentially integrating new iPhones as featured mics for an ATV…

I’ve been searching this recently to see what the state of the art is for BT mics and it seems like the high quality BT mics that are available are for recording sound for playback later, where the latency of BT doesn’t matter. You can mic up a room full of instruments in a studio without having cables running everywhere. OR use it as a mic when recording video on your phone because it can be tweaked to take the BT latency into account and align the video with the delayed video.
The BT “karaoke” mics seem to use bluetooth to treat the mic as a speaker, streaming audio to a speaker on the device. Thus making it easy for the mic to mix the audio stream with what the user is speaking into the mic, even adding effects to the vocals. As Bluetooth 5 has a latency range from 20 ms to 40 ms, the non-bluetooth solutions will likely be the only ones that can send audio remotely at low enough latency (10 ms or less) to be in synch and mix properly with a remote audio stream.
Disappointed that they only put the Sing for very recent devices. I'm on a Xr and that's not a really old phone. Also, like someone else said, would prefer that Siri had been boosted, say that Siri can change between multiple languages or that we can have two or more Apple ID's on a device than the sing function.
With the iOS 16.2 release candidate that came out today, Apple added the new Apple Music Sing feature that was announced earlier this week. We thought we'd check out the new karaoke feature to see how it works.

Apple Music Sing is available on modern iPhones and iPads, as well as the newest Apple TV 4K. It's built in to the Apple Music app, and therefore limited to Apple Music subscribers. Note that you need to have a full Apple Music subscription, as it is not included with the more affordable voice-only plan.
If you've used Apple Music's built-in follow along lyrics feature, you know how to use Apple Music Sing. The feature basically uses the lyric functionality, while also adding a toggle to turn down the vocals of a song to replace them with your own.
Just pick a song, turn on the lyrics, and then use the little microphone icon to adjust the vocals. Apple Music Sing is not available for every song, and it's not entirely clear which songs Apple is limiting it to.
Apple is going to provide playlists for Apple Music Sing, which will be filled with popular songs to sing along to. Apple Music Sing will be available to all users with the launch of iOS 16.2, and as we already have a release candidate, iOS 16.2 could come out as soon as next week.
Apple Music Sing is available on the iPhone 11 and later, the third-generation 11-inch iPad Pro and later, the fifth-generation 12.9-inch iPad Pro and later, the fourth-generation iPad Air and later, the ninth-generation iPad and later, the sixth-generation iPad mini, and the new third-generation Apple TV 4K.

Click the three dots, scroll down to the bottom and report it. Since they have this report function I’m assuming they’ll be working on updating real time lyrics based on the reports.
I found out that it cannot work on anything before iPhone 11. But still the same issue on an iPad 6th gen and I read it's supposed to work on iPad 3rd gen +.
Try this epic song.

that’s correct: even PS5 Dualsense gamepads have a best latency around 30ms. Probably we would need a classic RF Mic connected to an USB adapter, as for my old Singstar mics for the old PS3… Or usb wired mics…
