I have no idea if such a concept already exists. Yet as a possible way to make money has this been tried ?  KJ would subcontract with local carnival, and like other booth games the person interested in performing in front of a really large crowd would pay per song.  Just a thought. Unless of course most carnivals, and circuses only allow their own touring Carnies

I've seen it down at fairs & amusement parks, but they were always free to the singer.  Our state fair had a karaoke stage setup with a really nice system (I don't say that often) last year - open to anyone.

Do you suppose if it was setup as a "contest", with a few judges and some sort've reward it'd work for pay ?  I'm just wondering because most of the booths people wish to take part in (at least around here) require pay per event... Whether it's ball tosses, tossing a ping-pong ball into a goldfish bowl, darts...etc.

Probably not, unless the prize was worth it.  When you get into "contest" aspects, the entire concept may backfire especially if kids with parents come up (and their Mom thinks they are the best) lose to someone that was better (but Mom clearly thought it was rigged)........you see where i'm going?

Pay per game, you win a stupid prize.  I suppose some might pay to sing, but as to a company actually making money from it, I don't know.  Most of them boothes are rented space that aren't all that cheap.  Most of the companies I have seen in the fairs are doing major advertising & are booking gigs - doing it for free to the singer is kind of the sample.

Yep, Being a subjective contest it becomes a "little league" brawl where the parents are the ones driving everyone crazy, with their tempers, and hurt ego's... LOL

Seen many of those pay per song set up here. It works. The KJ pays rent to the premise owner!!!

LMAO .. Speaking of oldie's Michael, doubt you'd recall "Vanity Fare's" 1969 hit, "Music Music Music"

Do it Do it Do it Do it again
Put another nickel in
In the nickelodean..

I couldn't stand that group.... Song's like "Early in the Morning", and "Hitchin a Ride"


Yeah Michael,  I just got a thought figuring this might be another way for you folks to make a few bucks.. Yet it's obviously not a creative, or original idea....  LOL ..Oh well, one never knows..

The one I saw recently at the Florida State Fair was put together by chartbuster and was free. You had the option of buying a recording of your song for $5 and chartbuster was pimping some of their CDGs, but basically, I think it was just for exposure and brand recognition, I doubt they actually made any money.

At Six Flags here in Chicago they have had a little recording studio
for years. I think they still have it. Anyway you paid like $5 to record
a song in a both and they would put it on cassette for you. I always thought it was
a cool idea.

1000:1 odds those booths were not legal regarding publishing & copyrights permission.

At Six Flags over Texas in Arlington, they have had a recording studio for probably 10 years.  I know the guy is leasing the space from Six Flags.  He also does video as well, so if you want to do your own music video Karaoke he can do it for you.  

If everyone jumps on a plane to get here to do this turn left inside the from gate and it is in the Texas section on the right, next to the airbrush t-shirt guy....

LOL

One more thing you may want to wait until mid March, the park is closed right now..... LMAO
