I don't get quite so hung up about the crib sheets than a lot of people on here seem to get. We are only talking about singarounds and not paid performances. I tend to enjoy a good performance/presentation more than worry about whether they have crib sheets or not. Surely it is how they are used? I agree it is preferable to know the song without the use of a sheet but I' rather see a good performace with sheets than an inferior one without. There is one guy at our club who always uses sheets but they are basically just a prompt or perhaps even just a fall back to quickly glance at if he were to forget. You'd hardly know they were there if you knew at all and his interaction etc with the audience is really impressive as is his delivery. I agree it is not much fun watching someone sing if there eyes are glued to their book trhoughout the performance But then again we have some who wouldn't dream of using a sheet yet they hardly seem to get through a song without fumbling over words or forgetting them completely.
