I sing at my shows. I go through the rotation, then sing, go through the rotation then sing, unless it is REALLY busy. I get requested to do songs, whether I am just hanging out or if I am working. I also play filler music, and if I have booty shakers I will play three or four booty songs about halfway through the night. Hey, they request it. I don't think there is a right or wrong way to do things, for the most part. It depends on the crowd. I do what they want. Some nights we have all singers. Some nights we don't.
That's right... you are doing what you are getting paid to do. Entertain the patrons of the bar... all of the patrons, not just the singers. The bar needs to make money so you can get paid, and if you are earning your money, you do what needs to be done, and every night is different.
You feel it out, and go with it, and with experience, you get more confident as to what works and what doesn't, especially the crowd of regulars... you know what they want, and if you want to keep your job, you give it to them... And hopefully every has a good time, and dare I say, its OK for the host to have a good time too. In fact, I would say if you are having a genuine good time, in all likelihood, so is the rest of the bar.
