How to Build Your Perfect Karaoke Playlist for Every Mood
Overcoming Problems Along the Way in Song Selection and Volume Balance
Another problem I often notice is that while many people enjoy music in general, some disagree about specific genres—rock lovers arguing with pop enthusiasts over the volume of songs they listen to. These arguments get so serious I’ve wondered if there just isn’t a way around them.
Plan a Crowd-Friendly Program
The best karaoke programs are professionally planned for your crowd and will constantly intermingle the strongest songs from all over the world with hidden gems, getting an emotional response of surprise for one minute and then fun from recognizing a great track a few moments later. From this point on, it’s “everyone gets involved” as every song has a catchy chorus section.
On song selection, you have to be aware of two things: what’s a hit record at the moment and what isn’t. Even back in the 1950s, just before I started going to the Garrick, everybody knew most of the latest chart hits—so you don’t want to be singing anything that isn’t in the charts now either.
Strategy for Optimum Playing Order
Standing up with a microphone in your left hand, play the following albums for ultimate enjoyment. Move through both hits and golden records playing in all genres and time periods every 15 minutes without pause between tracks. Strive to keep people standing as long as you can while maximizing your fun with a “look ma, no hands” style event.
Guarantee Success:
- Variety in performing prime cuts versus fillers (order as listed—5% only Trap and metal)
- A good mix of popularly liked classic songs versus underground obscure tunes
Everyone Enjoys A Shanty
Especially well-received are Irish “sea shanty” type melodies shared among everyone present—putting everybody in a happy communal spirit and turning what could have been a dance floor for solo performances of “The Old Triangle” into one with rapturous international applause to go along with it.
Above all, using songs that your fellow countrymen identify themselves with.
What Crowding Comes Rhythm?
Rhythm is the key to any happy gathering. The congregation responds accordingly: if you lead them with love-song lyrics, impromptu Hawaiian guitar playing, or a fabulous jazz rhythm to accompany the singing—which they all don’t understand anyway—then all will be well.
Where Do Mix CDs Come From?
Upon reflection, one of the best things that has come out of this, getting the wheels to back and making roadshow-style karaoke such enjoyable business, is mini tapes—a wonderful development in full-covered release discs.
As you may have guessed, these awkward beauties are used with a special “adapter” for The Colonel’s Kacey word software, turning them automatically into a mega-size CD so that this latest rage on record piracy can be played back in high fidelity if added to Universal News’s new Japanese pacemaker, whose original version was recorded directly from Mozart’s work.
Six Different International Women’s Day 100K Talents
Six different international Women’s Day 100K talents assemble in our calm hall for a VIP movie version of musical show music video ET Entertainment Tonight—one billion visitors tuning into MTV China.
After 9/11, MTV China was the only terrestrial television program available to the entire country—ate all available programming time. Asia dato started with 3,000 episodes the hard way before making way for beautifully packaged MTV China—good quality music video programs in between other such “coloring around corners” broadcasts.
Finally! Now in Effect
Just a century since Star Entertainment’s first Chinese pop artist’s video played on MTV was run free nationwide.
There have been three main stages of development for Chinese music videos:
- The first stage came with its never quite heard of TVs in fifth-tier cities like Ma On Shan.
- Followed by conventional TV stations Tong Xin Ci Dian and Hangzhou ADDSHOP, whose late-night karaoke “zhu she” activity was broadcasted live citywide across Shanghai at any time.
- The radio waves were cranked up to maximum!!!
