It sounds like you run your shows the same way I do. Most of the dance music I play is for the women. Very few men get up there. The women want the "cupid shuffle; "electric slide", etc. I try to get away with as little dance music as possible when it is supposed to be a karaoke show.

Walt
Walt,

Basic same here, but until New Year's Eve this year, I had never played even the first dance song.

However, the owner doesn't see it that way and so I had to reluctantly start playing dance songs. My dedicated Singers don't like it either, but understand my predicament and have accepted it...

It has been and still is my belief that Karaoke night is Karaoke night, not dance night. At private parties, I do whatever the person paying me wants!

In the last hour of my show, I stop playing dance songs because after the Karaoke show, while I'm breaking down, I play dance songs until I have to shut the computer down (~1 hour)... I shut it down last!

Hey Kod, Walt, I've done those too....Wow it's not an easy job, especially when they get inebriated...."Hey I was before her/him and so on"...

I'm not knoking anyone who does it different, or has no choice in their particular venue,, just sharing my experience...

Joe,

To avoid the problem of who goes when, I use Win7 "Sticky Notes" to keep my rotation fair and equal.

I operate on a first come, first served basis and as they hand me a song slip, I add them to the "Sticky Note" so that there is no question of rotation order. I refer to it for every rotation setup...

If you don't hand me a slip for the next round, you are skipped, but not removed from the list. If you give me one for the following round, you go back in the original rotation order. You are only removed from the list if I know for sure you've left.

Anyone is free to look at this list at any time!
