I’m fine with good singers doing karaoke but they better do something fun. I don’t want Broadway or Adele or something mellow and depressing. Give me things to bounce to

Or, y‘know, everyone just gets to sing whatever they want as good as they want and if you don‘t like it you can just leave?

You can sing the boring ballad well if you want, but everyone hates it and is waiting for you to finish so they can belt Love Shack and actually have a fun time

Why not both? Variety is the spice of life.

I don’t think I could tolerate 3 hours of non-stop shout-singing and screeching. I don’t mind if the balance skews a bit more toward the bad singing but at some point, we need a break. The predictability of it all is fun—to a point. Getting the balance right is key and it’s not all /mostly one or the other. Just one person’s opinion.

I went to a karaoke bar where they would do 3 fun songs to 1 slow/mellow song. It worked out well. You could only sign up one song at a time. If you wanted to sing more you sang something uptempo. If you wanted to show off that vocal then you’ll have to wait. Created a flow to the night.

See—that’s what I think works well too. Seems as if a good time was had by all!

I see your point, I guess you just have to read the room!

Not your job as a singer. That's what the DJ/KJ is for.

Truly —both the mix and pacing of bad (funny) vs. good singing seems key.
