Answer 1

try bleeding love by leona lewis.

Answer 2

Peace,

     -Tim

Answer 3

These aren't any of your choices because i dont know any of those songs. Potential Breakup song: by Aly and AJ. Alice: Raven Symone. Love Song: (what's her face). A Whole New World: (from Alddalin)

Answer 4

I would choose a song that is popular and that you hear on the radio alot because people will find it more entertaining than something way back(I dont know if those songs you listed were way back or not!) but yeah. Im sure you will do great. Sing a song you know by heart that way you dont forget the words ;) Good Luckios!

Answer 5

You have to first think about who your audience will be. Is it going to be a bunch of professional judges that decie who wins and loses, or is it going to be the audience's reaction that decides? If it is the first go for the songs that show off more of your range, but still try to make it entertaining as a big part of performing is stage presence, and without one, a performer has nothing.

If your audience is deciding, is it mainly adults or teenagers? Try to pick a song that they can relate to.

Just remember keep it entertaining and practice makes perfect.

Good luck!

Answer 6

why not beautiful soul, take me as i am, bye bye, shake it off, unbreakable

Answer 7

fire and ice

Answer 8

my favorite song is "see you again" by miley cyrus it has everything in it

Answer 9

I think Body and Soul

apart from that, choose something that really suits ur voice and shows it off. something that shows that u r a good singer; so don't just choose a song tht's popular or fast, choose one that shows tht u r a fab singer!

b/c the ppl don't care what kinda songs one sings, just how good they sing it.

Answer 10

How about the chicken dance complete with actions?

No just kidding I say you should go with something that shows your range, with some long high notes, or something. Just make sure it isn't too slow. I've never heard of any of those songs, so I'm sorry that I can't choose one.

Hope you win. I wish I had $1000.

Answer 11

The one that best suits your image, vocal range and audiance.. durrr :)

Answer 12

The Boys In The Bright White Sports Car !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 13

Try My heart will go on by Celine... they are gonna pay atention to you... thats for sure!

Answer 14

Body and Soul is a good one!!Try that one.Or Bleeding Love by Leona Lewis

Answer 15

Well i haven't heard of them ^ but i just love this song and it can really express your good vocals

1. I am telling you I'm not going

Answer 16

I'd say choose something that really shows your range, cause fast songs take alot of breath, and that could make your voice sound funny. Maybe you should try a classic song with a new twist, and a climax, where you can really show your talent. here's some great songs

1. unbreakable by alicia keys

2.carwash (the new version)

3. love by keyshia cole

4. sent from heaven

Answer 17

Okay, I luv them all but try to sing each one the best you can, then once you find the BEST one you can sing go for it. The best one you can sing, may get you a chance at the 1000 dollars. So sing them all in lets say your room, and the ones you have a wee bit of a problem with, write down and write what you need to work on. Then the one you don't have ANY problems with sould be the one you should sing.

Answer 18

over the rainbow thats a good song or fire and ice GOOD LUCK ☺

Answer 19

well if you have a pretty good range, adn you're not afraid of a challenge try 'my immortal' by evanescence. but you have to be GOOD to sing this song. you can't just sing it and expect it to sound good. it's a hard song.

but my sister sang it for an audtion and she got in.

others might be 'good enough' by the same artist. then again, all evanescence songs are challenging...

or try 'reflection' by christina aguilera or from mulan...

Answer 20

i agree-my heart will go on by celine dion

Answer 21

Body and Soul- Anita Baker

Answer 22

I dont know any of these songs so ill say

I Remember you by Skid Row

Answer 23

Baracuda by Heart =)

Or Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen. But you will need some back ground singers
