sorry guys i am gettign a lot of responses and so far "in his eyes" is in the lead. . . i am just not suer how well a 14 and a 15 year old can sing that. . . id rather sing a simple song incredibly well than a great song badly. . . if you know of any (preferrably ballad) songs that are good and that we could probably sing please respond. . . erika and i are very very advanced for our age but our voices still are not fully developed so if at all possible i am in need of help here. . and i think we changed our minds we might do it at the pennsylvania thespian conference as well as or instead of our little b-way talent show. . thanks again!
"I Know Him So Well" from Chess is gorgeous, and not too difficult. Two of my voice students sang it a few years ago...they were 15 and 16 years old. They loved the song. Hope this helps!
"In His Eyes" and "Leave Me Alone" are both GREAT songs, and fun to perform, but are a bit difficult for younger teen women to sing. Vocally they are quite challenging. "In His Eyes" mainly because of the ranges and "Leave Me Alone" because of the speed of the song/vocally matching with your partner.
I think "I Will Never Leave You" might be a little vocally demanding for a 14 and 15 year old. I like the idea of "I Know Him So Well" or you could look at "I Still Believe" from Miss Saigon. Might be a little rough though too for girls of that young of an age. Good luck!!
Take me or leave me is agreat 2 female duet but I don't know if a 14 and 15 year old should sing that song.

"No", mused the man from PBS heedlessy. "Not so much. Our Stephen Sondheim Carnegie Hall concert. That's a big one."

"Bosom Buddies" from mame,not too challenging at least
So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life.~Office Space
"Come To My Garden" from Secret Garden is supposed to be sung between mother and son, but the boy part, I'm pretty sure, is a soprano. So you can check that one out if you like.
and "How the Other Half Lives" from Thoroughly Modern Millie is one I like a lot; even though it's not a ballad like you prefer, it's a fun song

I Still Believe was a favorite at my voice studio...of course my voice teacher made us belt it out, which was NOT pretty...our faces were bright red at the end!
