Now, no.
In a few years, yes.

Posted: 7/3/07 at 10:57pmI don't find anything feminine in the song: unless accepting a change and reflecting on your life is only done by women.

Posted: 7/3/07 at 10:59pmI think the main problem I'm finding with the song is that it is hugely overdone by females. Oh well

Hmmmm...... eh. I think its a so-so song even for women!
Tell us if he's a tenor or bari and maybe we can give you suggestions of a traditional male songs. There are some great ones!

Posted: 7/3/07 at 11:09pmI think it's just a bad audition song. Period.
Some people paint, some people sew, I meddle.

Well, there is a version with a key for males in the Alan Menken songbook.
That key is in D, then modulates to F.
The original is in A, then modulates to C.

Posted: 7/4/07 at 11:04amI'm a baritone, and I had NO trouble singing it in the original key when I did it for a concert last May. I sounded damn good on it too.

Posted: 7/4/07 at 11:50amI just think there are enough good songs written originally for guys, Auditioners expect a lot if you decide to do a song usually sung by the other gender. I mean, if you skipped the whole anthology for your voice to pick just one song, it better be good.

I always thought the song was about getting your first
"well. you know"... becoming a "woman".

If you've had a sex change operation, then it could really have some meaning.
"There's been a change in me...." :)

Posted: 7/4/07 at 12:39pmI don't know, nothing against you, But i can't stand when people audition with songs that aren't sex appropriate. And then my mind wonders and then i realize i didn't pay attention to any of their audition.

I have been dying to sing it. I have a higher tenor voice and I tried Ashley's key from On The record. It din't work, but my friend sang it lower and it worked fine.
I love that song, but not with Toni.

Husk,
Which "original" did you sing?
A to C, or D to F? 
I don't WANT to live in what they call "a certain way." In the first place I'd be no good at it and besides that I don't want to be identified with any one class of people. I want to live every whichway, among all kinds---and know them---and understand them---and love them---THAT's what I want! - Philip Barry (Holiday)

I would say avoid using female songs for men. First of all, it's really distracting (okay, I'm only referring to online video stuff) and secondly, it can throw people off.
