Jokes aside. A karaoke machine really doesn't do a good job. It doesn't give you an overview of the instrument inputs. On the other hand, a karaoke machine has a syllabic precision that doesn't serve a practical purpose here either.
What serves a purpose here is the entry of paragraphs in context.

Why is it useful to be able to enter the lyrics in the sequencer?
I don't know about singers who were born with the ability to sing and improved it with classes, etc. It's not my case. I never sang well and although I improve over the years, the improvements are subtle.

However, I think that even for skilled singers it is useful.

If you have a visual reference of the lyrics and the paragraph entries in the context of the sequence, you get rid of two insecurities:
* Not entering on time.
* Getting confused or forgetting the lyrics.

These insecurities create small muscle tensions in the shoulders, neck, jaw and vocal cords. These in turn cause you not to project intuitively on the resonators, giving a forced result (unnatural, out of context), as well as possible detuning and tone breaks.

Having the lyrics in the sequencer gives you peace of mind, and you concentrate only on the emotional interpretation and placing the voice in a way that is coherent with the emotion (chest, head, mixed voice, twang, distortion...)

Live with other musicians, these input references are given to you by the musicians themselves with their interactions with a natural and intuitive communication. But here we are alone with a sequencer.

I have tried with an empty mono audio clip to perform the functions of a text clip and it works well, being able to directly access the editing of properties.

The text not only covers the functionality of Lyrics, but also that of planning, documentation, etc.

A specific functionality for text clips is dispensable.
With what we have now, the work is done. It would simply improve the capabilities to do that work.
