For one you are doing it all wrong. The NPCs want certain songs and flos to be played but they do not want you to spam only the flos they like. They want you to play them properly, as in mixing them with other flos. There is one flo for every audience they do not like, as well as two songs they do not like. You must also change songs during your audition. You must also use your special effects as they will help raise your satisfaction level. Do it like i say and you will succeed. You must talk to every audience member during your show, you can also bring a friend to talk to them while you stand on stage to ensure you don't start playing late. Find out what flo they dont like, what two they do like, what two songs they like, what two songs they hate, mix those flos they like with allof your other flos, like say every other one except for the one flo they hate. You'll do just fine following this advice.

I have completed the quests in music and dance and I have yet to do a single Special Effect. I have also yet to fail a performance in the last 14 I have done on various servers.

My method.....

Speak to as many audience members as possible.

Play every song and flonot hated.

Emphasize songs and flos liked.

Change songs often.

Flourish more than can be actively seen. 2 flos in 10 seconds will NOT cut it. More like 5 every 10.

Flourish in random order.

Throwing in my 2 cents. I talked to every audience member and found out what songs/flos they wanted/didn't want. When I started playing, I ONLY played the songs they said they wanted. I didn't play any other song. Every other flourish I did was one of the flos they wanted to see, occasionally doing the audience flos back-to-back. I avoided any they said they didn't want. I didn't use any special effects. When the audience mentioned more than one song, I used /changemusic to switch between the songs they wanted every 5 flourishes or so. I was able to get through the performances without failing any of them.
