Ephinany is terrifying in the context of the show.
God knows it would be terribly and horribly scary, no to mention confusing to the audience to sing it out of context.
I can just imagine the audience being totally baffled by the end of the song, and everyone would be afraid to talk to you after the show, for fear that you'd steal their soul.
Bloody brilliant song, though.
What Do I Need With Love.. showstopper. Light, easy, belty. Big sustained G finish.
Also, when done well, All I Need is the Girl, (big F's, whole note G) is stunning
OH! Ballads? I Can Go the Distance (Short G), If I Loved You (F#), Johanna (Constant Ebs), Marry Me a Little - stunning (F# is the highest note).
That's all I've got for today.

i'm gonna say 'empty chairs at empty tables'
or 'wheels of a dream'.
overdone, yes, but when done well, showstoppers.
