BASIC RULES FOR KARAOKE SHOWS WE HOST:
RESPECT OUR EQUIPMENT:
It’s expensive and carelessness or abuse will not be tolerated. Banging on, blowing into, dropping and/or screaming into the microphones can damage not only the microphone, but other equipment as well. Don’t pull or swing microphones by the cords. Don’t cover the top of the microphone with your hand, or hold the microphone to your chest. Don’t point the microphone at the speakers – these things will cause feedback. Sing close to the microphone, again please do not miss-use any of the equipment. If you damage our equipment, you will be expected to pay for any repairs or replacement costs.
NO HECKLING:
Customers are not permitted make fun of the singers, it takes a lot of courage to get up on stage and sing in front of other people, so please respect the singer’s courage and do not make fun of anyone, regardless of their talent level.
KARAOKE ROTATION:
If you feel you have been skipped, let the host know, this was not done on purpose and should not be approached with anger. If you have been skipped for any reason the host will slip you into the next slot and then return your correct position on the next rotation.
ROTATION SEQUENCE:
You are allowed one solo song and one duet per rotation. If you wish to do a duet with more then one person (more then one song) the second duet will be placed on the second rotation. If two people sing a duet together it counts for both their duet rotations.
SINGING WITH OTHERS:
If you would like to sing a song with someone, whether the song has already started or not, the choice will be left to the person who is called in the rotation for this song. If this person does not want you to sing with them, that is their choice and you will be denied a microphone for this song.
DISC JOCKEY REQUESTS:
During a Karaoke show, karaoke takes top priority, however if there is a song you would like to listen to or dance to, you may ask the host to play it if the host has other requests before yours then it is possible they might not have time to get to your request.
DANCING RULES:
If the host plays a dance song or line dance song for everyone to dance to, please be courteous and do not step on others, bump into others, or argue with others. There will be absolutely no moshing or dangerous dancing allowed during a karaoke or disc jockey show, whether the location allows this kind of dancing normally or not. Please remember If you have had a lot to drink and can not dance without doing these things then stay off the dance floor.
These rules are set for your safety and for the safety of others and the equipment. Breaking any of these rules can and will result in loosing your customer rights for this show. The host reserves the right to deny use of equipment to anyone they feel is in violation of these rules. If you feel the host has denied service to you wrongly, you may contact us by phone or email and let us know.
INTERESTING KARAOKE FACTS YOU MAY NOT KNOW:
Karaoke is a Japanese abbreviated compound word:
“Kara” comes from “karappo” meaning empty, and “oke” is the abbreviation of okesutura, or orchestra.
With proper training, 75 to 80 percent of people can learn to become very good singers. What about the remainder? Well karaoke wouldn’t be nearly as entertaining if everyone was really good, now would it?
The mention of going to a karaoke night or karaoke restaurant or bar often creates groans and moans from those involved, however did you ever notice that it’s always the person at your party who swears they would never sing at karaoke that ends up being the superstar of the night and basically needs to be dragged off the stage to give the others a chance to sing too.
Some of Canada’s most popular karaoke songs include My Way, Sweet Caroline, Brown Eyed Girl, Barbie Girl, Total Eclipse Of The Heart, Like a Virgin, Bohemian Rhapsody, Better Man, Blue, I Will Survive, Amazed, Unchained Melody, Sold, The Dance, Picture, Pretty Woman, Candle in the Wind and Mustang Sally.
The first karaoke machine was invented by a backup keyboard and vibraphone player whose talent lay in his ability to make amateur singers sound much better than they really were. In 1971 he decided to make the first karaoke machine, devising a red-and-white coin-operated eight-track player called the 8-Juke, which came with a microphone and an echo effect, plus a little cabinet to hold the eight tracks.
Some common misspellings of karaoke are: caraoke, kareoke, karokee, karoke, karryoke, karioke, kareokee
