Or even any version of the song, Holding out for a hero. Or the song Ain't no other man!

Answer 6

Alright have I got a list for you! We'll start with the lyrical. The following songs by Josh Groban are good: "You're still you", "You raise me up", "You are Loved", "So She Dances", "Now or Never", "Mai", "Let me Fall", "L'ultina Notte", "In Her Eyes", and "For Always". The following songs from Lifehouse: "Trying", "Everything", and "Whatever it Takes" (that's a new song). There's also "We Don't Have to Look Back Now" by Puddle of Mud (another new song); "Hallelujah" by Rufus Wainwright (from the Shrek soundtrack); and "I Dare You to Move" by Switchfoot. I'd have more but I got sick of looking through my iTunes.

Now, for jazz...your best bet is to look up songs by Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, BB King, and Cole Porter and artists of the like, but here are some songs I picked out.

"Blue Skies", "A Tisket A Tasket", "I Get a Kick Out of You", "'S Wonderful", "Swing Swing Swing", "Zuit Zoot Riot", "All That Jazz", "Anything Goes", and "It Don't Mean a Thing (If it Ain't Got that Swing)". I wasn't sure what kind of jazz you were looking for, but I was assuming an upbeat.

I really hope that helps!!!
