I'm always puzzled by the fact that churches have to make up some

Tell the truth. So many things seem to have different names in a
church. The platform is never a stage, the sermon is never a
seminar, the service is never a show, the worship leader is never a
MC, singing in front of people with a pre-recorded song track is
never Karaoke... Just to name a few.

I understand that it's the gallery and not the balcony,

Not true for my church. Somehow we manage to call the balcony the balcony,
and have done so for at least 55 years.

it's the narthex and not the lobby,

roger!

and they play an offertorium instead of an intermission riff.

Offertory. The -ium got lost someplace along the way.

But singing in front of people with a
pre-recorded sound track is ALWAYS Karaoke no matter what they try
and call it.

LOL!
