Before I became a KJ I loved the start of a show because it was a slow time for singers and I knew I could get a couple new tunes in before the crowd came in. 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 they're going to be after that singers NEXT song!
DON'T PENALIZE SOMEONE FOR COMMING OUT EARLY! Sorry, a sore spot for me!

Not a good way to make a new comer an often comer in my book. A new person gets in that rotation no matter if I put them at the end of the rotation or enter them soon. I have since added them to the end of the rotation unless I am running out of time then they get the priority treatment since the others have had several turns already. How is it penalizing someone who has had 2 or 3 songs to bump their next song back a slip to allow someone who has not gotten to sing one song anyway. The way you are doing it means the new comer gets the impression that you don't give a flying care whether they return to your show or not. I have been asked to replace hosts that did this once due to that particular insulted person going to the owner and saying that them and their family who actually come on other nights that have no karaoke that they won't come back on the other nights unless they get rid of that show host that snubbed them. This individual happed to have about fifteen to twenty realtives that regualarly showed up and heavily drank almost every night of the week. there. So who got penalized there. By the way I no longer do that show as I moved out of that area.
