It appears that some KJ's have regular crowds while others mostly cater to tourists/transients during certain seasons. And then there are all the other possible alternatives in between.

For those who have a regular returning crowd do you believe that your average singer:

1) practices each song he sings Yes___ No_____
2) sings the same material over and over Yes____ No_____
3) adds new material regularly Yes_____ No____
4) is concerned about the caliber of sound equipment you use Yes____ No______
4) realizes the caliber of sound equipment you use Yes____ No______
5) is most concerned about having fun Yes_____ No_______
6) is most concerned with how good he sounds Yes____ No___
7) would come to the place even if they weren't offering karaoke Yes____ No_____

1) no
2) yes
3) yes
4) no
4) no
5) no
6) yes
7) no

Interesting that I put No to the 4's and a yes to 6.

Reading this forum has taught me that I pay more money for a better sound

Just for me. Sad but true.

1 - Some have discs they bring & do say they practice at home
2 - Most do sing the same stuff over, and will add an occasional new song
3 - Occasionally
4 - Many have asked about the equipment & mics used. Especially musicians that come in regularaly
5 - All want to have fun
6 - Everyone has stated at some point, make sure I sound my best (which is still all dependant on their own singing)
7 - I do have some regulars that go in for Happy Hour that stay through the night and sing, have others that just love being there - sometimes sing, sometimes not but I believe they would still come in if there was no karaoke. Others come in specifically to sing.

1) My serious singers practice. Many others just put in a fun song, so no for them!!
2) Most of my regular singers, yes. I have a few that have huge stacks of slips they pull from ( I save their slips for them. ) I have one singer that I don't even save his slips because he rarely does a song over once or twice.
3) yes.
4) no.
4) no.
5) yes.
6) yes.
7) no.

I have such an unusual venue, it's hard to answer these, because many of them are split possibly equally. We have regular locals and then so many tourists. I answered based on my regulars.

THis is based on my venue, not hubby's. His answers would be totally different - younger crowd, bigger, etc.
