As the KJ, you should be able to control the mix to some extent. Take a look at the song list as it occurs and maybe move one or two songs to keep the mood going. Also, I try to encourage my regulars to try some newer music when the nights are slower. This helps them pick better songs to keep the crowd interested.
As for the money thing...just say no. One funny thing about regulars...they get mad..they ALWAYS come back. They just have to understand that you're treating every equal and explain to them it's about perception, depending on what side of the argument they're on. They wouldn't want to be treated as they are suggesting you do to someone else, therefore, you won't treat anyone unfairly. (did that make sense?)
The rotation is a tough issue. I average 30+ singers, 4 nights a week and they wait because they want to sing to a crowd. Funny how no one wants to sing to an empty room, eh?
