| Post subject: | Sorry another NYE question |
I have only done all karaoke for New Years Eve. The reason being I have a die hard karaoke crowd. They want to sing as much as possible and I would be hung from the rafters if I played filler music. This being said I always feel like there is something more I could do to build up to the "Big Count Down" at midnight. Usually it is timed out so when the singers is done singing it is seconds to the count down. We count it off, everyone cheers and hugs, we sing Auld Lang Syne and then back to karaoke. Do you have any ideas to make it more fun? |

I run the tv volume through a channel, and about 5 minutes or so till 11pm, I switch to live in New York, and we join them......karaoke or dancing for another 50 minutes or so, then cut to live in Chicago......bring the New Year in twice.....get twice as many kisses too.......

"Naked Dancing Girls" Hahhahaah, I never thought of that...damn, who needs Karaoke at all! It's definately more work...trying to 'plan' everything so you're ready for the big countdown, would suck to be 10 sec late....I really have no ideas, other than to use your judgement and stop a good amount of time before the big ball drops. Maybe it's only a song or two. Pick songs that will appeal to your crowd, so they don't mind the lack of karaoke too much for that few minutes. MrD |

Babs, In the past we've had everything from the owner giving a quick thank-you-speech to all the customers and staff (giving bonuses publicly as well to staff) to taking group pictures of everyone there while playing great classic rock songs, to playing kamikaze-karaoke, beer games, simulcasting the event from tv through the sound system, etc... before midnight. We have also run slideshows of pics from the past year and made future promo-videos by asking people at the party what they had to say about our services. right after the countdown we usually all sing together a few popular group songs- like 2-3 in a row (ex: sweet caroline, american pie, piano man,etc) while still toasting with champagne and eating the ice cream cakes i would supply. 
-the corporate gigs always went right into dance songs- sometimes karaoke songs that were pre-planned to be crowd pleasing dance numbers. I've even hired dancers (besides myself) to teach lines and salsa moves. Everything from booty call, cha cha slide, electric slide, night fever, blame it on the boogie, stayin alive, boot scootin boogie, strokin', virgina reel, happy people, and step in the name of love. Can't forget the Hustle!! Women love to dance as you know and the gents usually follow suit- especially to slow dance songs. -you can always ask any of your singers if they have any hidden talents they can share to make the party more fun. (dancing, cooking, videos, slideshows, decorations, running secret-santa on NYE instead of on xmas day) -females sometimes like reasons to bake desserts or prepare dishes if they think they'll be enjoyed by others. we have also made it a point to give out name tags with their place-of-origin so everyone got to know everyones names and what hometown they were originally from. ...bobbing for apples is also always a fun thing at parties!
