Hosting A Karaoke Party? - Choose The Right Songs

By Kane Taylor


So you have decided to have a karaoke party. You have a great karaoke machine and lots of karaoke songs that are just great rock and heavy medal tunes. Here is where the problem begins. If the party is just for your closest friends then you choice of music maybe great and its going to be perfect for the party. If your party is going to be quite large then maybe you need to consider having a better selection of karaoke songs to choose from. That doesn't mean you have to run out and buy tons of new discs. Think of a few ways that you may be able to add to your collection even if its temporary.

First ask your friends that are coming if they have any karaoke songs they could lend you. Then get them to ask their friends to bring some along if they have some. That way you are going to have what they enjoy as well. Perhaps check out if anyone rents karaoke music in your area.

Then you might want to consider downloading some free karaoke songs off your computer. If you search around enough you should be able to gather up enough music to suit the needs of everyone.

If you find that your music selection is still very limited, then come up with some innovative ideas. For example run a contest . Take one song and get three people to each sing it. Then have the rest of your guests vote on who they like the best. Its probably a good idea to do this by written secret ballot, so nobody gets ticked off over how certain people voted. After all this is a fun night out and you don't want it spoilt. You will get even more participation if you have a prize for the winner. Wrap the prize so they don't know what it is. Curiosity will get the better of them. You could continue doing this with the various categories of karaoke songs that you have. The night will have gone before you even know it and you probably won't have gone through even 1/3 of your collection.

Another party option is to put the names of 12-15 songs in a hat and let some contestants choose one at random. Then they have to sing that song. There won't be any excuse that they don't know the words. That's the beauty about Karaoke you don't need to.

Then for a change have a karaoke song trivia contest. Where a individual sings a song then the rest of the participants guess the recording artist. Just determine how many songs you want to play, and keep track of who got the most right. If you are somewhat of an entertainer yourself, don't hog the night by doing most of the singing. Keep the singing arrangement in some sort of order. Otherwise if it's the same people singing all the time everyone else gets bored. A karaoke party is a wonderful way to spend a great evening and enjoy your friends.
