| From the Where2sing.com forum: MB: Well yes, its SGB's fault for making such crappy versions but it's also the host's fault in a way for making that version available to their patrons. The host should (ideally) be aware of the quality of the versions on their list and if they have a song that makes it very hard to sing, it should be their responsibility to find a better version.
When I was with EE, if I stumbled on shocking versions of a song, I'd get rid of it and find a better version. Beyonce's Single Ladies was a great example because it's one of those songs where a lot of people wanted to sing it but very very few knew it all that well and so they were relying on the lyrics a lot. The Sunfly version is simply not up to the task and so it got replaced. Other examples off the top of my head was the Sunfly version of Jason Mraz's I'm Yours and whatever version EE had of Jay Z & Alicia Keys' Empire State Of Mind. I think I replaced the version EE had of Barenaked Ladies' One Week as well to make it easier for patrons to follow the lyrics.
