A back up singer is just that, someone who is in the behind hte rest of the band providing additional vocals for the lead vocalist. Back up singers are genrally not the main players in the band thus the term "back up" singers. Not considered to be one of the key players. When and if the back up singers desides not to attend, the concert can techniqually go on without them. This being said, as a back up singer you should know your place and have full understanding that it is the experience that you will use in the future that is trully your reward. Many great singers started off as unpaid back up singers. Genrally getting only food and housing pervided for them. At most a nation wide touring band gives no more then 5% of the pay to Back up's. Not including sales percentages of merchandise. The two most important parts of a back up singers is the ability to hold a note, and the responsibility of bringing your own microphone. If you are unable to do so watch out behind you cause someone else will.

Get the stinker-dick mug.Unyielding fan of director Bryan Singer, who insults anyone who dares criticize his films. The Singer Puppet is impressed by his ability to make superhero films that "have an actual plot" (read: are pretentious and don't have much action) and buys that he's truly a fan of Superman. Usually thinks THE USUAL SUSPECTS is a great film, but didn't before X-MEN was released; and considers SUPERMAN RETURNS his crowning achievement.
Some Singer Puppet didn't like it when I suggested that Lois Lane shouldn't be played by someone who look like they're in high school, especially when the plot revolves around "our savior" Superman knocking her up.
