How can I get a microphone to work -pc

I have one of those hand held microphones that singers use and its has several jack plugs. When I insert it into the plug slot in the back of the pc no sound comes out of the speakers when you talk into it. Now I never thought it was going to be as simple as that.

Basically my daughter wants to be able to put on youtube and listen to a karaoke song on there and sing along to it using the mic.

I'm thinking that this is not going to be a simple proceedure as simply putting the mic in the jack plug hole and off you go!

So hows this done??

Cheers.
All the big powers they've silenced me. So much for free speech and choice on this fundamental human right, and outing the liars.
