CD+G discs also feature chorus line backing vocals if the original version featured them. All vocals are cover versions.

Some CD+Graphics discs feature two versions of the song on the same disc, one is called a (Karaoke Version) which features the songs music with some chorus line backing vocals and the other track is the (Vocal Version) which features both the songs music with lead and chorus line vocals.
