most requested/popular karaoke songs

At the monent "Bleeding Love", "Take a Bow", and "Now You're Gone" are some of the most popular with the girls.

Yep, it always seems to be the same old standard songs every karaoke you go to... although I can't recall anyone doing 'Islands In The Stream' - that would make a nice change.

When I was in Prague recently, we managed to find what must have been the only karaoke bar in the area, and still it was the same songs! There was a group of ****ney lads there, so there was a bit of banter between us and them, and the mass 'Sweet Caroline' sing-along was inevitable

Abba songs are popular at the moment too - due to the new production and album sales I suppose.

At a karaoke job i stand in now and again at a pub the songs are:

Bryan Adams - Please Forgive Me
Christina Aquilera - Fighter
Bruce Springsteen - Dancing In The Dark

These are religously sung each week, even by a different person.

That's different! I love it when DIFFERENT people do the regular songs. Get a bit fed up with the same people doing the same songs every week. Which is why I stopped doing regular pub nights. There wasn't as much fun as meeting a new bunch of people in different places doing different songs.

Funny that. That's the exact same reason I didn't renew my last residency contract. I got tired of the same old people singing the same old songs - badly!

Now, personally, I only do the one-offs such as weddings, engagements, one-off pub nights. That's not to say that Lightning don't have residencies because we do - I just leave them to others! One of the perks of being the boss!

I only do the one-offs...

Don't blame you. I have a blast at private parties etc., doing karaoke. Much easier to have a great 'party atmosphere' with a crowd who are there to really enjoy a one-off event rather than a crowd doing the same old same old Friday night pub crawl.

A few of my past residencies have been karaoke discos in fun-pubs where people are usually up for a good time and I did enjoy doing some of them. But I prefer parties where the complete range of age groups from the kids to the grannies are there. It's a challenge pleasing everyone but I've found that I have a talent for doing just that. As I've said before, I'm a family man who grew up on family parties so I'm right at home doing what I do!
