That the problem when the DJ gets told what to play all night. A suggestion OK but all night never works. Been through that and I was the one blamed for a lame party.
I bet everyone was bored to death. "cut the damn cake so we can get outta here"


yes Bill it always happens BUT, ...the people throwing the party also have the power to drive the car so to speak and choose anything they want to hear...blamed or not by the attendees play what they want to hear no matter the outcome,.........this is where booking the event in the first place is where a DJ makes the decision to play it or not without just doing it for the money or risk being subjected to major ridicule by all involved big time,
.....WARNING stop Don't get caught up in a game you have no business being there for. And that goes for not only DJs but for any kind of perfromers...
...just get your check and walk away.
