That ear-piercing squeal can ruin a karaoke performance in seconds! In this DJNTV discussion, experienced karaoke hosts share their real-world tricks for preventing and eliminating microphone feedback. The conversation covers proper gain settings, speaker and singer placement, microphone technique, wireless mic adjustments, and even how moving the karaoke screen can help keep singers out of problem areas.

The group also discusses common singer problems—holding the microphone too far away, cupping the microphone grille, standing directly in front of speakers, and forcing the KJ to continually raise the volume. Sometimes what sounds like feedback may even be a high-frequency sound that’s actually part of the karaoke track.

Whether you’re a new KJ or an experienced karaoke host, these practical tips can help you get cleaner vocals, fewer feedback problems, and a better experience for your singers and audience.

Featuring DJ Eric, Dennis Healy, Elvis Rowan, Jonathan Whitford, Robert and J.R.

We all know the term “one-hit wonder”—but what if that artist actually had a bunch of other hits? On this episode of the DJNTV Tuesday Night Music Show, the crew looks at artists remembered for one massive song in the U.S. even though they scored additional hits on country, R&B, hip-hop, alternative, rock, dance, international, or other charts.

Sir Mix-A-Lot is a perfect example. “Baby Got Back” dominates his mainstream legacy, but songs such as “My Hooptie” and “Posse on Broadway” also received airplay and charted outside the mainstream pop chart. The discussion also uncovers familiar songs that surprisingly never reached the Hot 100, including George Thorogood’s “Bad to the Bone” and Debbie Deb’s “When I Hear Music.”

Then there are artists whose American chart history tells only a fraction of their story. The crew gets into Thin Lizzy, Juice Newton, Devo, KISS, Spandau Ballet, Grateful Dead, Madness, Duran Duran, Dirty Vegas, Status Quo, Slade, Kraftwerk, Daft Punk and more—including acts that became enormous overseas while American audiences knew only one or two songs.

So maybe some of music’s most famous “one-hit wonders” weren’t really one-hit wonders at all—they were simply artists whose other hits happened somewhere else.

What artist do YOU think is unfairly remembered as a one-hit wonder?

The DJNTV crew is back for Part 2 of a dangerous music conversation: which hugely successful artists do you respect—but simply don’t understand the hype around? As Brian S. Redd makes clear at the start, the point isn’t to hate these performers; it’s discussing artists whose enormous appeal just doesn’t connect with everyone.

This time, the names get even bigger. The conversation tackles Sabrina Carpenter, U2, Rick James, Post Malone, Lana Del Rey, Britney Spears, Garth Brooks, Justin Bieber, Bad Bunny, Drake, Sinéad O’Connor, Pink Floyd and more. Post Malone sparks an especially interesting discussion about how generational differences can make it difficult to understand why an artist attracts huge streaming numbers and massive audiences.

The DJs also get into a bigger change happening in music. Artists once needed broad crossover records, radio airplay and album sales, while today’s performers can build careers by concentrating heavily on their core fan base and touring. That may help explain why one generation can look at a superstar from another generation and ask, “What am I missing?”

And sometimes the answer may simply be: the music isn’t for us—and that’s okay.

Which massively popular artist do YOU just not get? Put your most controversial answer in the comments!
