I always thought putting down a set of rules for karaoke would add a sense of tension to the show, and would just make it un-fun. But after a serious rise in:
1. people smoking into the mics
2. people grabbing mics while others are singing
3. people screaming louder than someone singing
4. people changing their song when they get up on stage
5. people asking me to play their discs they brought
6. people putting in songs with their name, for someone else to sing
I started thinking about setting some ground rules for my show, but I don't really know how to go about doing this without coming off as a killjoy in a party-like atmosphere.
Any ideas?
You don't have to come off as anything but a karaoke host who cares about his show and his equipment. There is nothing wrong with playing other peoples' discs if they are originals. Grabbing mics is just wrong and bad etiquette. Screaming while others are singing, while being rude, is a hazard of the business. Drunk people do drunk things. People do change their songs. It happens. It's annoying, but it happens. There is no reason why you can add a SHORT list of rules, just keep it friendly sounding and don't nit pick.
