Bringing one's own CDGs

I have no idea what the protocol is in the US, but certainly in the UK it is not only accepted but welcomed by KJs. The principal is that the KJ wants participation and the patron may want to perform songs (or versions) which may not be in the KJ's catalogue.

I, myself, am a very keen karaoke patron and it used to p*** me right off when my chosen songs were not available, so I started bringing my own. I have never had the slightest hestitation from any KJ to my using them. Now I have produced my own songs, using backing tracks I have either bought "off the peg" or commissioned in the case of my original songs (I used to be a professional singer). Because of the high quality of the program no-one not in the know realises that these songs are not commercially available.

I hope these comments are useful, and they will allay your concerns. Go for it!

Best wishes
Lauraine
