When I get to the customer disc I stop Hoster, switch the video to the player & push play on the player. When the customer disc is over, I stop the player, switch the video & push play on Hoster for the next singer.

or

I allow the song ending in Hoster to be my fill (transition) music while the next singer is coming up, switch the video, singers ready, push play on player, fade out Hoster. When customer disc is over will allow it to be the fill (transition) music while the next singer is coming up, singers ready, start Hoster, fade out player.
I don't use the singer name display (it won't work for my shows as I still use laserdiscs as well) so do not need to use a placecard of any sort.
