(words?!) but my delema is that i want to something out of the box-ish yet still show my voice. (i mean my voice is like rent/tick tick/spring awakening material! lol) so i dont know what to do!

Do you need just two? An comedic uptempo and serious ballad? If so I would recommend for your tenor/bass/baritonish voice to look at Kiss Me Kate, more specifically Where Is Life That... (I dont recall the actual title), it is a terrific comedic song if you have the right voice for it.

As for ballad, if you could post any more about what type of voice you have or other songs you have sung, it would be much easier to pick something suited to fit your voice.

lol wellll..... idk...i have a "true character voice" lol i can play up anything. but i think my natural voice is dark and has a lot of natual vibrato (especially the higher i get) but i can do SOME still tone (just kind of discovered how to do it myself but i think its do-able....lol) idk... i would ask my teacher but he tends to not be much help! lol i thinki sound like a mix of raul espraza and adam pascal....idk thats how i see it but i may be off. lol thanks!

"Everybody Says Don't" from Anyone Can Whistle (upbeat)
"She Loves Me" from She Loves Me (upbeat)
"Anytime (I Am There)" from Elegies (ballad)
"I Chose Right" from Baby (ballad)
"She" by Georgia Stitt (in between a ballad and an upbeat)
