Karaoke Forums

Instead of music request slips, how about a chalk board or sign up sheet. When they come to you to request a song you can point to the board. No one can complain if it's in writing. This way you don't have to deal with slips. You can get a dry erase board really cheap these days. If the owner says something to you again, you can say the patrons pick the songs to be played I don't.

Another way to stop the nonsense is to go to the owner and  tell her you feel bad for her that she has to deal with people complaining about karaoke music. She has enough to do running a bar. Then tell her if it happens again to tell the people to come straight to you so you can fix the problem. Sympathize with her telling her you know how hard it is to try and please everyone. Let her know you have found a way to alliaviate the problem for both of you by using some kind of music request system, so everyone can see what music has been requested to be played and no one is being favored. If she sends the complainers directly to you they will stop going to her. You don't have to single anyone out this way.

Wish I could have a perfect Karaoke everytime I do one. Unfortunately this is real life.
You can please all of the people some of the time.
You can please some of the people all of the time.
But you can't please all of the people all of the time.

We all get idiots and moaners and it's just something you have to deal with the best you can. Sometimes though you have to put up with a bit of crap. That's Life.

The people that complain to me personally I can usually deal with but the people that complain to the owner are the worst kind. Once I have listened to the complaint from the owner, however, I usually just tell them why the complaint is not valid. Most owners understand and usually just say do your best to keep em happy and that's all you can do, Your Best. You are playing to a whole room not just a couple of idiots.
