I am one of the hosts that DO have a problem with hearing the same song twice in one night. Reminds me of public radio... after a while it makes you want to change the station... and it reminds me that folks out there in karaoke land at the tables would be thinking the same exact thing... time for a change.

My job is to make the singers sound as good as they can, yes, but also to make the venue money so I make more money. It's really simple economics.

Yeah, the original person left, but what about the twenty to one hundred souls that are suddenly hearing Shania Twain's "That Don't Impress Me Much" for the second time that night... and NOT by Shania?? If you got terrific singers, bully for you, and I'm happy ya got them... but even with the best singers, hearing the same song twice is annoying!

When humor is introduced, fine, it's all for a joke, and we can take it... had a regular (dude) sing "Honey I'm Home" and it sounded hysterical... truely sexist, and all done in fun humor. Then a gal got up to sing it later so that folks could hear how it's "meant" to be sang.  But EVEN then, you could see it pushin' at the tolerance of the other listeners!

I can see your point, I don't find it as annoying as you do but perhaps some of our customers do...  Fortunately it isn't a big problem at our shows, we don't get many requests for dupe songs.  Hmm, may need to set a hard & fast rule about no dupe songs...

Thanks,
Susie

This reminds me of when I was in 4th grade and our class used to memorize poems and recite them.  A lot of kids would say the same poems others had already done, and many of them probably didn't memorize them from the book, but from hearing other kids say them!  You could see the teacher's look of dismay and hear her groan when the 10th person in a week got up to recite "Not Scared" or "This Is My Rock"!  After a while, she declared a ban on both of those, simply because almost EVERYBODY was reciting them.  I never did those, though--I picked different ones.  





!  I thought about singing "Honey I'm Home" one night (and I may do it yet--it's a fun song), but decided on another Shania Twain song, "Come On Over", instead.  It worked out well, because someone else did "Honey I'm Home" later on!
