Some people claim that using IEM's (in ear monitors) tends to "isolate" them from the audience. Having IEM's could drown out audience noise, eg: clapping or "amens". Thus, some singers feel that their ability to interact with the crowd is hindered. Some soundtechs have been known to place microphones in the audience, in order to feed their sounds to IEM's. Others set up floor wedges to feed the sound from the audience mic's to performers using IEM's. But, that is extra work that would be unneeded if one uses conventional stage monitors.
