KARAOKE ETIQUETTE:

"I Brought My Entire Family To Hear You Do That Song"

 

For many regular singers, the audience determines hits and misses. Certain songs become synonymous with certain performers, and the audience looks forward to hearing those songs every week. While that may appear flattering, the accompanying peer pressure might be a difficult situation for the singer. Karaoke singers like to be experimental at times, and the temptation to try a new song or two is always there. But the audience may have other ideas, and are more than willing to share these ideas with you. It can be very difficult to reject a heartfelt request for a song, but you may have no other choice.

 

Try to be as tactful as possible when handling audience requests, but don't allow pressure tactics to affect your song selections. Sometimes the Karaoke host will understand your dilemma and allow you to sing two songs in order to accommodate the audience. If this is not possible, you should thank the audience members for their support and explain that sometimes a singer enjoys performing new material. Hopefully, the audience will understand and support your new efforts.
