The very idea of 'tenor belting' sounds like terrorism, but maybe it is just me. Think Mandy Patinkin who belts everything.

How about "fortissimo"?

Would "Love Can't Happen" from GRAND HOTEL be appropriate for a tenor?

While the song itself isn't anything special, "What Do I Need with Love" from TMM is a pretty good showcase for a tenor.

"Martin Guerre" from Martin Guerre is a pretty belty/shouty song. Pointless but belty/shouty for a tenor nonetheless.

Archibald Craven is a tenor. Dr. Neville Craven is more of a baritone.

Carl-Magnus is most definitely a baritone, 'In praise of Women" is NOT a tenor piece.

Sorry, I guess I wasn't certain about Carl-Magnus' range. I'll amend my suggestion to favorite baritone belting number.

"Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around."
