Room for variety
A good imitation is a wonderful thing to behold and I am always impressed by those who do it well. I enjoy doing so myself and if I sound reasonably like Dean Martin, Elvis or Tiny Tim, I get a kick out of it. But when I do insane versions of songs, try some opera, foreign songs (hard to get - and had to add the lyrics), or just go completely over the top, people always make a special effort to tell me that they want to see more.
I believe that people want to see a good mix or something unexpected. I still get comments from people about the night three of us in a row sang "It looks Like I'll Never Fall In Love Again" or the time almost everybody got on stage with me to sing "Woo-Woo" while I sang "Sympathy For The Devil".
The point is, in my opinion, to have fun.
