Wow it seems that you have about every amount of info you need.
Heres a couple of thoughts. There will always be places that have Crappy Karaoke and when you think that you can replace a KJ that is not quite up to snuff you have to realize 2 things;
#1 When you bring the subject up with Management/Owner you have to realize that in this economic climate they are making decisions under a lot of pressure and that they have been the one who hired that KJ and that management doesn't want any negative stuff out of you because they are probably tired of hearing already.
#2 You have to be a salesman first! Use friend contacts to start early on and hand out cards to everyone. This will help you get private gigs! Use free media; myspace, facebook, free internet booking agents. Make a Mountain out of your Service.
#3 Find a New Place! Be willing to adjust your price so that you are willing to be Part of the Team!
#4 Don't Worry About What the Other KJ's Do or Don't Have!

I personally dislike songs with a lot of profanity in them... even comedy songs, I personally find "innuendo" funnier.... The pussycat song is at the top of my list of great gag karaoke. A chick getting up and singing the song with just the right naughty inflections is hilarious, and never fails to kill!
The barmaid at my Monday gig is a real spitfire. A blond middle aged MILF, who is a notorious flirt with EVERYONE (guys and gals) ... does this, the purrrfect song for her.

Another one that works like that is, "I Touch Myself"

dfw, as probably the NEWEST kj on this forum, I can tell you that you still have alot to learn. Some of it IS about being a kj, but some of it is about life experience. I don't mean to offend you, but, I was taught a LONG time ago, that the best way to learn is to OPEN your ears, and CLOSE your mouth. I've read this entire thread, and every suggestion, or any advice you're given, you don't seem to accept, without a but this, or what if that. If you know it all already, then why ask? If you already know the way you're going to run your show, why ask? It seems to me you've already run into a few problems, so I would suggest you MIGHT want to listen to some people that have "been there, done that". As for including the name of a girl YOU don't even know, into an explicit song, I think you got EXTREMELY lucky to just have the mic unplugged. The DADDY as you referred to him, could have just as easily pushed the mic into your mouth. I am a very good singer in my area, and that doesn't give you special privilege when you have a mic in your hand. You may think EVERYONE is totally taken aback by you, but that doesn't give you the right to INSULT people you DON'T KNOW. So far in this thread, you STILL think it's all about YOU. As a singer, you may think that, as a HOST, you're DEAD WRONG.

Rosario SERENITY NOW KARAOKE

I would agree with you if you were correct (just kidding). I have been to the End Zone in Plano and will be happy to take you up on that offer. If I bring my cowbell will you play it while I sing Don't Fear the Reaper?
