Be sure to buy SM58 directly from an authorized dealer because there's lots of counterfeits available to buy also.
And of course there are other valid mic options that a pro could use, but you still wouldn't regret buying the SM58.
I'm a huge cheapskate, but sometimes spending a bit more is actually the slicker deal. If you are a musician on all but the tightest budget, get a tool you might never replace for $100 over trying a bunch of $20ish mics and never finding a truly worthy mic.
I have this mic and it's never left the 'spare stuff' bag after trying it out. It picks up a lot more off axis sounds than the stuff that was good enough to use which causes more feedback issues. I can hear my Yamaha mixing board working a lot harder when I set it to automatically remove feedback.
All that said, this is really affordable, and for karaoke would probably be perfect. Maybe buy it and use it as a 3rd tier spare like I did. At least its super cheap here.
E: I went out and tried both of mine again. They have a bit of handling noise but for the money it's the best option I'd bet. I never considered using these at the desk mounted but perhaps they'd be fine for that. I did notice less noise rejection that the SM58s provided, but like I should keep in mind, it's a big price difference.

The mic with a little bit of compression and a bit of gate works really well and give the podcast sound. I get comments on my set up pretty regularly.
What I'm saying is in my opinion this mic and a cheap xlr interface with voice meter is a great combo for work.
