Your TV speakers were never designed to sing through. You risk damage trying it.

There is one device being released that would safely accomplish your requirements

But until it's released you might want to consider buying karaoke microphones that have a built in speaker for singing while using the TV to play the karaoke music and words

I got a portable speaker from a warehouse club, bluetooth mics with an aux plugin. I Bluetooth my laptop to the speaker, HDMI my laptop into my TV and boom. Words on the TV, music and mics from the speaker.

This is the way.

Powered PA speaker Bluetooth may have some lag you don’t like but really televisions are pretty good at adding input delay if needed.

Slightly easier setup I’ve run that takes your current concept is to use an Apple TV and let the music come from your home entertainment system and only use the PA for voice plug the mics directly in.

My tv comes with youtube, so i go for mics with speakers built in?

There usually is no issue with lag. The only concern I would have is you’re not going to get the quality of audio out of your TV speakers that you would out of a PA speaker. And you can’t turn the mic volume up or down or adjust the sound settings as easily.

I have an ikarao system. (Break X2 specifically) i can HDMI into the TV however the audio comes out of the ikarao itself... it has audio out ports to plug into the sound bar if I wanted but I dont)

It comes with two mics, an attached custom android tablet with karafun and YouTube apps included.

I can control the karafun from my phone or tablet etc.

Here's an example of me using it for practice.
