Looking through a book is part of the experience imo and sometimes will see something listed that I normally wouldn't have thought of otherwise. These people now rely on their memories & our singer history - I don't even have people tell me what THEY want to sing anymore, they just say put me in with something from my list. That's not karaoke to me!

I don't mind it so much. Most of my singers listen to music quite a bit, so alot of times they come to me and say, "I heard this in the radio today and I want to try it". Just last night a girl asked for something she had never done before that she heard on the radio. I was glad to put it on her list. By the way, she did a great job with it. Some of them listen to the radio all week and write down songs they want to try and bring the list with them to my gigs.
