I'm trying my best to make a list of audition songs for college, but I'm bad at judging what and what is not overdone.
"Simple" or "Be On Your Own" from Nine
"Home" from Phantom (yeston)
"Yes, My Heart" from Carnival
"Secret Soul" from Jane Eyre (this breaks the "Nothing from the last 10 years rule", so I'm hesitant)
"Moonfall" from Mystery of Edwin Drood
"Shine" from Smile
any input would be appreciated :]
If you're going to do something fro, Smile don't do "Shine"
Robin's finale song is good or "Disneyland" although Disneyland might be a little overdone.
goodluck!
yeah i was thinking Disneyland would be overdone.
Thanks for the help!
All are overdone except Carnival and Jane Eyre (just don't do Sweet Liberty). But if you love something, and think you kick ass at it, then do it!

I wouldn't say the pieces from Nine are overdone but "Be on your own" is not age appropriate. Is "Moonfall" from Edwin Drood and Yeston's Phantom seriously overdone to the point where those songs should be avoided? That's new to me. They may be popular but I wouldn't put them in the overdone category.
I agree with Jane. I don't think any of them are overdone. Now just make sure you're picking age appropriate pieces. Best of luck!
yeah being age appropriate is another problem I'm having.
Thanks for the input!
"Moonfall" is a BEAUTIFUL song...if you feel you can do a good job with that one, keep it in your line up for sure!

"Who Can I Turn To (When Nobody Needs Me)?" from Greasepaint/Crowd
I'm only doing one of those, so pick your favorite.

It's impossible to choose a favourite without seeing you perform them but personally, my favourite song out of those 4 would be "Who can I turn to" - beautiful song. If you can do it justice I would highly recommend it.
Good choices by the way.
