The reality of Karaoke?

[mikedomi]

you said
(Remember people, not all singers are a bunch of drunks trying to impress their friends. There are a lot of serious vocalists out there.)
first we have been in the dj business for over 20 years and all we have done in the 20 years is grown no **** show for us
we are as professional as it gets

this is another thing that is screwing up karaoke the serious vocalists
the person who says I cant hear my self
I want you to turn me up over the music
more reverb
if they want to be a star go to star search
go to Nashville but don't go to karaoke

it was made to have fun is was not meant to be a stepping stone
to being a star it was meant to be just a lot of fun
for the singer,kj,and the crowd
when you do get singers like that they are just a pain in everyone's ass!!!
we mix each singer and all our kj do a good job of it we don't sit on our ass

I want all your shows!! to say that you have never lost a mic is great for you
your lucky can you tell what tonight's lottery number is going to be
I would like to have some of your luck
we were the first company on the east cost to do karaoke when we first started we were getting 450-550 per show in the md,va dc area there was no one else for a year and we had no stars on stage just people who wanted to have fun that's it( that was the good old days when karaoke was fun)

now this is a another thing that screwed up karaoke.
was when cdgs came out you had a 15 dollar cdg and you had the 100 dollar laser disc which was the first thing karaoke was on we were all sorry to see the cdg come out
but we had to deal with it

this meant that everyone and their bother was getting in to it
because it was cheep to do and we have watched the price go down to 100 dollars for 4 hours

we wont do shows for any thing less then 200.00 dollars for 4 hours and they feed the kj and we work all the time

I guess the bottom line is I was kind of agreeing with you but I guess you did not see that

and you made such a big deal over the mic thing
you make me think you are a singer more than a kj
and you are pissed that you cant get a good mic in every show you go to. if it means that much to you
do what I have seen other singers do take one with you
ask the dj if he would let you use your mic when its your turn
anyway I am done with this thread
please if anyone has any thing bad to say about my post
kept it to your self
if you have an opinion please post it i would love to see it
but if you are going to use foul mouth or jump all over my opinion really kept it to your self
