I'm audtioning for American Idol in a week. What song do I sing?

Question

My voice is a mix of rnb, soul, and jazz. I only get 15-30 seconds to perform and I really want to wow the producers. Please help!

Answer 1

Trouble Sleeping by Corinne Bailey Rae. It's a nice jazz piece, sing it from the chorus Ithink that's a good vocal range to start at. Good luck.

Answer 2

How do I live-Leanne Rythmes

Answer 3

Sing something that shows your range, but steer clear of Mariah and Whitney houston , Christina Augilara, Celine Deione, they are tough acts to follow and they compare you to them. Just make sure you are perfeclty comfortable with the song and not trying something out of your league.

Answer 4

"Lover Girl"

Answer 5

sing a song you know and are comfortable with. preferably an older but original song, because with newer songs they're fresher in the producers' minds because of the original artists.

Answer 6

Try Tatoo- by Jordin Sparks and GOOD LUCK! I can't try out for 2 years...hope to see you as the American Idol :)

Answer 7

blues-by lee ann rhimes -kinda country but has a big jazzy/soul feel to it

Answer 8

definitly NOT amazing grace.

Answer 9

Pick a song you have loved for years, that makes you jump up and down with glee when it comes on the radio, and that you already sing for fun in the car, in the shower, at karaoke night, whatever. Also it should be something that fits your voice and that you nail every time, with no high notes you have to squinch your eyebrows up to hit, no weird intervals that give you trouble, etc. It should show off your vocal strengths. The WORST thing you can do is pick a song that was meant for a different kind of singer because you think it'll be "cool" or "impressive" to the judges, then perform at less than your best just because it's not the kind of music that you do really well. I haven't watched the last couple seasons of Idol, but I believe they're interested in all kinds of genres and not just the Top 40 pop of season 1. So anything goes! Good luck girl--let us know how you do!
