I really prefer to be able to sing from memory - it's more fun, and I get the song across better. I can watch what works for my audience and what doesn't.
That said, I've always had a terrible verbal memory and learn words very painfully and slowly. All the little tricks folks suggest just don't work for me. Folks say, just remember the story and let the words follow. Well, I remember the story all right but I'll retell it with words that don't scan or rhyme. So - there are songs I can sing without a crutch, and for the ones I can't, I use a music stand. Songs I'm only going to sing once or twice are not worth my learning, so I use a paper for them and throw it away after. I don't waste my limited memory on songs I don't like. And I am trying to write shorter songs now, too.
