understand who you target

Putting together the best karaoke playlist needs good plan and know your crowd. Aim for 30% new hits, 30% old hits, and 40% mix to keep the vibe fun all event.

Pick the Songs Well

Different music helps a lot to make a great list. Use songs for high and low voices – from sopranos and altos to tenors and bass. This lets everyone find songs they can sing well.

Set Up the Playlist Right

Start with easy songs to help folks get going. Move on to big hits when people are more into it. End with big, fun songs that get everyone singing along for a good end.

What Songs to Put

  • New pop songs for the young ones
  • Old rock hits that everyone loves 호치민 퍼블릭가라오케
  • Old Motown songs for fun times
  • Top hits today for what’s hot
  • Party songs for group singing

How to Place Songs

Put well-loved songs at key times to keep the fun up. Switch between solo songs and sing-along songs to keep everyone in. Think about how long the event is when picking high-vibe songs so folks don’t get too tired.

Know Your Crowd

Look and Learn: Key to Getting the Crowd

Before picking songs, learn about who’s there – age, where they’re from, what’s the vibe. Know what they might like in music.

What works for a city youth group changes from what an older group with folks from different times might want.

See What They Like

Watching the crowd gives clues:

  • How they dress, what styles they like
  • How they talk and hang
  • What drinks they like
  • How they talk about music

For example, country clothes might mean they like country tunes, while smart casual might hint at love for 80s rock or old pop songs.

Mix Music Right

With folks from different places, mix music to fit everyone:

  • Asian groups: Try some K-pop or J-pop
  • Latin roots: Use new and old Latin songs
  • All ages: Make sure you have songs from many times
  • Different places: Mix lots of styles

The goal? A playlist that gets everyone up and having a great time.
