Plus they also know that I keep a singer's database, so if they're trying to remember a song, all I have to do is bring up their name and all their songs are listed.

Yeah they do that with me too.
It's almost to the point that technology has actually hurt, how does anyone figure out new songs anymore? 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!
