It quite amazes me how often I read disparaging remarks about the audience.
Please stop acting like that the audience couldn't care less, has no clue and 'only' wants to be 'entertained'. If they pay for live entertainment than that's what they deserve. Granted, some may not care but you're supposed to please every paying customer.
You'd be surprised how many musicians there might be in the audience who know exactly what's going on. Don't assume that you're the only musician just because you're on stage banging on a keyboard. Don't assume that you're the only singer just because you're the one with the microphone. And don't assume that you know it all or are the best. You'd be surprised at what dormant talent there's out there.
Three times I've witnessed the guy on stage, after being heckled about his playing or singing, daring the heckler to come on stage and do a better job. Well, each time those hecklers were either far better players or singers. So, never underestimate your audience.
An entertainer with a laptop? There was a time they did without so why the need for one now? A laptop would seem abundant to me. Technology already makes making music easier. As for lyrics, a lyrics sheet is all you need.
You wouldn't want to be heckled by someone that HE or SHE can play LIVE and prove it, would you?
