It's not the song that makes it a showstopper - its a combination of the song along with the performance. You can't "stop" a show with only one of them. Staging is what you make it. If you plan on copying someone else's staging, it won't ring true - especially out of context.
Pick a song YOU love, that suits YOUR voice, YOUR dance abilities and work hard. That's the best chance you have.
