I'd come in early and get one song, then another guy would come in an hour later and get in front of me? I was penalized for showing up early? NO, if a new singer hands me a slip, he or she can look at the person singing and KNOW there going to be after that singers NEXT song!
DON'T PENALIZE SOMEONE FOR COMMING OUT EARLY! Sorry, a sore spot for me!

I agree with you as a general rule this is how I do it. However, what do you do when you have a long rotation at the end of the night and most people have sang several times and you know there's only an hour left and the new singer probably won't get up? To make it worse you know the singer or the singer is excellent and everybody wants to hear him or her. I'll let someone else weigh in on this.
