I used to run a Karaoke show for quite a few years, when a bit like Kev's set up it was a whole lot more equipment to carry around, it's so easy now with a laptop and all the built in software, they just plug into the house speakers and monitors and away they go. My pet hate songs had to be I Will Survive, Crazy, Just 17 & My Way. And it's odd but I really hate to sing these now unless I get a request for them, Crazy it requested so often it's amazing! I also used too hate more than one singer at a time, they always had to show off, swing the Mic's around, show they backside, and yell stupid things. I don't think I could do it now, unless I had a gun ;D The other thing I hated was a pro singer coming up, and pretending they had never sung before, and then not even look at the screen and sing the song word perfect with all the actions like Shirley Bassey or Tom Jones  Notice how many times I said Hate!  |

lol Jacqui re the pro singers.....there was this guy where we live who sang in the pantomines and musicials and one night when I was presenting a 'show'...he was there...........he sat all night with his mates from pantos until I announced that I was taking no more requests....then up he comes wanting to sing...I refused him but he was adamant that he wanted to sing and to be the 'star' of the show....so I called him up and I remember he wanted to sing Unchained Melody....
Now the Arbiter Karaoke has a key changer on a lead that plugs into the back of the machine and I hung it on the handle at the side....so when Unchanged Melody started I had upped the key by a few steps and went to the bar and left him to it........he was screeching of the ceiling...it sorta took the smug pro look from his face I can tell you lolol.....I must take a picture of the karaoke machine and post it on here..it is some bit of kit.
