The KJ has enough to manage without your pestering. First come, first served. Wait your turn, like everyone else.

It is extremely rude and distracting. If you must approach the KJ, walk around and avoide the stage, or wait between singers to submit your song.

Both loud singing and shouting conversations are unacceptable. Singing along is permissible; singing louder than the performer is just rude. If you must carry on a conversation, move to the back so as to not compete with the singer. Show some respect and let them have their moment; you’ll appreciate the courtesy when it’s your turn.

You can dance near the stage, but under no circumstances shall you invade the space of the performer currently on stage. This goes for backup singing, too—do not step foot on the stage unless you are invited.

No jeering, heckling, booing, harassing, or otherwise interrupting the singer. No eye-rolling, snide comments, or talking over their performance. It’s not only bad manners, but it’s only a matter of time before you are up there, facing the crowd—these people are your future audience: pay it forward, be polite and supportive.
