Tweaking Notes On Karaoke Songs

Last night one of my best friends and great
KJs let me listen in her headsets to find the
right key to one of the songs I was singing.

It's a bummer to know how to sing a song and
not have the right key!

It was the Betcha By Golly Wow song by Phyllis
Hyman. On my home system, I drop it 2 notches.
On the karaoke machine she has, I have to knock
it down by 4 notches.

Her system is in 1/2 notes and mine is full notes.

Something else I discovered is, when we drop a song's
notes, we can also higher the notes in the same amount
of levels and sing the song perfectly.

When we lowered the song on her system by 4, I raised
it by 4 and could still sing the song on key.

This is just my way of sharing technicalities when
singing karaoke songs :o). Amazing the things we
learn as we go.

I did add four songs and now it's time to perfect them.

We have to consider the crowd we're singing to and be
able to adjust our song list accordingly. I learned
a long time ago, it's not how well we sing a song, it's
how well the audience remembers our songs (most of the
time, not all of the time).

Take care and I'm taking a night off from singing tonite.
Look out tomorrow. It's on! Karaoke, here I come.
