[joe's jams]

This is in reply to your original post (I know this thread has taken a different direction since then, but I had to say this.)

Before I start my reply, I would like to make one thing clear, althought I may me a new member to this forum, I am not new to karaoke or karaoke clubs. I am also not new to being a KJ. I have been one for 10 years. I do sing in my shows. There are times, often at the beginning of shows when people do not come up right away to sing, and I fill in this void by singing, not by DJ'ing. There have also been various times when I have received requests from the audience to sing certain songs. I also sing duets with singers when I am asked. I am not the only KJ who sings in their show. I have been to some very successful karaoke bars where the KJ sang. If the KJ is a very good singer and he/she is not doing it to excess, I do not see where this is bad for business. Other than the above instances, I never butt it to the singers rotation, I never sing more than one song in a row, and I don't allow the audience to sing more than one song in a row.
