It's a tough crowd

At a karaoke bar:

A: Aren't you going to sing?

B: I'm thinking about it, but... I don't know... It's a tough crowd.


1) Do you prefer It's a tough crowd to the crowd is tough or something else?

2) Is It's a tough crowd enough to mean that the people at the karaoke bar are hard to impress?

Thanks.
