TOP TEN LIST of Things Guaranteed to annoy any karaoke singer!

1) Hosts who put their group of friends up time and time again without regard to the rotation

2) Club owners or bartender who want to turn down the music when you can hardly hear what you are singing in the first place.

3) Fuzzy sounding speakers & broken mic cords!

4) Hosts who have a habit of putting slips all over the place, and therefore, not being able to keep track of the rotation (otherwise known as the "did you check your pocket syndrome")

5) Hosts who compare singers or who utter the phrase, "How do you feel having to follow so-and-so?" Some people have immense singing talent. Others sound like they got voice training from Roseanne Barr. However, we are all taking the time to get up on stage to share ourselves with a bunch of people. We all deserve equal respect from the host and the establishment.

6) Hosts (in crowded clubs with lots of singers) who sing more than once or twice a night.

7) Hosts who feel they have to sing along (loudly) with you as a backup when you are singing.

8) Singers who like to tell you about their vocal training and how they have sung for money before.

9) Customers who feel like they can get up on stage with you when you sing.

10) Hosts who decide you need a key change HALFWAY THROUGH THE SONG and change the key without asking you.
