Built by someone who runs the show

I am Mike, and I have loved karaoke for a very long time, whether I am behind the rig running it or out front performing. Every feature in FireballKaraoke started as a problem in a real room: a rotation that got out of order, a regular whose key I could never remember, a singer at the far end of the bar waving a paper slip, a laptop that died on a Saturday night with a whole show on it.

The plugin came first, because a show has to work whether or not anything else does. It runs inside VirtualDJ, on your machine, with no account and no connection. That is not a limitation we are working around. It is the whole design: your night does not depend on our servers, our uptime, or your venue's Wi-Fi.

FireballKaraoke.com came second, for the parts that genuinely need a network: requests from phones, a remote in your pocket, singers who want their history to follow them, and backups that live somewhere other than the laptop in the bar.
