| From the Where2sing.com forum: It comes back to my analogy with tax and welfare. You take a little bit from everybody so as to be unnoticeable (although tax is hardly unnoticeable) to provide a very noticeable benefit to the disadvantaged. In other words, making each person wait an additional four minutes for their next song is a drop in the ocean compared with the two hours they're already waiting but those four minutes from everyone else combines allows you to have the new singer wait only twenty minutes or so, a very discernible benefit. Remember, as a host, your job is not only to attract people, but also to keep them and a short wait for a first song is a very powerful tool to start the process of creating an emotional investment with the singer considerably raising the likelihood that they will stay. The vast majority of people won't wait two hours for their first song, they'll go somewhere else to enjoy themselves (there's no emotional investment). It evens out eventually because at some point, every singer will experience this.
