This has been a difficult decision to make.On one hand they are Albuquerque Nite Life. On the other hand they are not a locally owned and operated small business. According to small local businesses such as bowling centers, restaurants and venues, they are responsible for sucking the life out of most of them. They also will not advertise on Call Me Ozz because we are "too small". Should they be removed from the karaoke listings and the bowling section?

Call Me Ozz started as Thee Karaoke Go To Site. It is now into 14 other genres of entertainment. Is this a good thing, or a bad thing? Your opinion please:

Here lately there has been a lot of venues like Fox n Hound, Ned's and Isleta Casino that have brought karaoke in for a while, then cut it. Then bring it back again, then cut. I see this as a bad thing for the community and for the venues that keep it going through thick and thin. Just like anything, in a years time karaoke has it's ups and downs, and it really sucks to everyone else when venue only does it at the peak. Should those venues be boycotted?

*****FOOTBALL SEASONS BEGINS******KARAOKE GETS PUSHED ASIDE****Tonight is the first game of the season, therefore many bars will be delaying football and expecting singers to come to their place anyways after the game. I say don't go! Karaoke addicts support venues year round, and seriously, so you need to listen to a game? You have 19 venues to choose from. If your regular venue has dissed you for football, perhaps you should dis them for karaoke. Don't settle for their second best. If you know of venues that are NOT delaying karaoke for football, please post them here so other singers will know where to go tonight and not waste THEIR time.

Many peeps ask me where's my tip jar.......here's my standard answer...the bar pays me to be here give it to the wait staff...here's my reasons $2!! my hourly is more than that and that's bout what servers get. The rest is from what you leave and yes folks that's how they get paid by WHAT YOU LEAVE! So why would I want to take that away from the wait staff? Secondly tip jar promotes song rotationproblems! Just cause you walk in pop me a five and think your next is not gonna happen! Show up early and become part of the family then you will be next! I don't mind if you tip my DJs but don't give me one and don't expect rotation help.....sorry for the rant but I'm bugged by poor tipping to a great wait staff! Ps $20 for a night out of fun at karaoke is cheap so if your a non drinker and drink Pepsi like I do leave a twenty to the server you took a table that they could have made that $20 serving drinks! And lastly all you DJs out there quit being greedy and put that tip jar away you got paid! Lol  (Teles from Live Mic)

Ok ok, so tonight went pretty great considering it was Memorial Day weekend and there was a lot going on and what not!! But there is always one out of the bunch that likes to spoil things!!!! Biggest pet peeve at my gigs.... DO NOT EVER TALK SHIT ABOUT SOMEONE SINGING A SONG, I don't care if you're gods gift to singing and your voice was sent down by angels! SHUT THE F UP!! KEEP IT TO YOUR SELF cause I have no problem making an example of YOU on the mic in front of everyone, straight up!!! I don't play around in life and at my gigs, honesty.. That's how I role like it or not!!! There are always other gigs to go to!!

-- U don't have to be a SINGER to support OR to even have a good TIME
-- Arrive early to get requests in & keep singing rotation moving smoothly
-- Arriving early ALSO helps dress up the venue for "walk ins"
-- SPEND MONEY & TIP THE BAR STAFF!!
-- If at ALL possible, try to avoid songs longer than say 4:30, ESPECIALLY towards the end of the nite when MORE people are acheiving THEIR level of "courage"
-- Try & be more like the opposite of the normal person who would "fill out a comment card"...... Leave as much feedback about POSITIVE experiences u have rather than focus on negatives
-- If u need "liquid courage" to perform, don't WAIT 'til ur at that level & expect the KJ to magically be able to spring u forward in the rotation...... In particular if it's busy -- if there is a large number of singers, submit ur request, then by the time it's ur TURN, u'll have "the courage"

Colleagues & anybody remotely in the biz, does this about cover it?? Feel free to add anything i may have neglected in the comments & SHARE!!!!

....Ozz sings in front of about 1500 people a month in almost every venue in Albuquerque and Rio Rancho. Going out 3-5 night per week. Karaoke in Albuquerque is what it's all about. Due to an overwhelming response from the singers of Albuquerque/Rio Rancho the reviews are back. After reading the review please visit "THE REPORT CARD" to get the whole picture. Also feel free to leave your two cents....
