I agree with this 100%, everytime a host sings, someone else doesn't. However, i always (or nearly always, I should say) have someone that wants to be first, I sometimes announce them as the sound checker (they feel pride in helping me out). Then i can walk around the room and see how it sounds in different places, couldn't do that with the wired mic (which is what most ppl use) if I was singing?
