If you were on American Idol...not auditioning for a show...which classic broadway song would you choose? I for one would choose one of these classics, all be it, some are over done: Try to Remember from the Fantastiks, Some Enchanted Evening, from South Pacific, Whatever Lola Wants, from Damn Yankees, Luck Be A Lady, from Guys and Dolls, and just to shock the hell out of some of them and do something fun...
America-West Side Story
Glitter and Be Gay-Candide(not that i have that range)
You can't get a man with a gun-Annie get your gun
AND THANK GOD CONSTANTINE DIDN'T SING WILKOMMEN FROM CABERET LOL
What would you sing?

Sporkie...that's awesome!!! I love it!!! Or perhaps to sing 'If you were gay' or even more fun 'Everyone's a little bit racist' What can I say...each Idol contestant should do a song from Avenue Q. My personal anthem, 'It sucks to be me,' is on that album.
You made my day!
#5re: If you were on Idol, what would you sing?
Posted: 4/5/05 at 9:51pmI'm so happy now-I love making people's days! Especially people whose personal anthem is 'It Sucks to be Me" How about if they cancel American Idol, and just televize Avenue Q LIVE every week!

Well, Avenue Q would be against the rules, since it's not classic.
I'd sing "Little Lamb" from Gypsy.

Yeah, I know we couldn't sing a modern day broadway song, but then again...that's why 'it sucks to be me' LOL. Anyway, great songs. I keep waiting for Ave Q tickets to go on sale for a date after Sep 3, cause I wanna see it when I am in NY. If I did a modern song, I'd do:
Memory-Cats LOL JUST KIDDING
but, cliche as it is, I might do The Wizard and I or Defying Gravity from Wicked,
I go to Rio from Boy from Oz
Contact from Rent would be fun, but anything from Rent would be fun...I'll Cover You would be awesome!
Of course, anything from Ave Q
But it's a dream, no modern stuff!

Posted: 4/5/05 at 10:21pmI would sing Younger Than Springtime from South Pacific or something from Company. I am trying out next year for American Idol.

Posted: 4/5/05 at 10:21pmDefinitely 'Out Tonight' from Rent. That is the most fun song to perform ever...I get a huge adrenaline rush everytime. Or, possibly 'Nobody's Side' from Chess(the Danish tour cast version).

This is assuming we will be able to sing flawlessly, right? 
I second "Out Tonight"....i'd totally be flirting with Simon! woohoo!!

Posted: 4/5/05 at 10:26pmWHY didn't anyone sing any dreamgirls?! I don't understand..... Another great one would have been "Pinball Wizard" from Tommy

Posted: 4/5/05 at 10:36pm
b/c the point of idol is to get the vote of the american public - i would pick something from a rock/pop kind of show - like rent, brooklyn, tommy, wicked even
my top choice would be "only he" from starlight express b/c i love it, it shows range, and it's a pop-like ballad
#15re: If you were on Idol, what would you sing?
Posted: 4/5/05 at 10:46pmo, if we got anysong and were flawless then i say Valjean's Soliolquy.

Real Life - tick, tick boom - awesome song
G-d on high - it might work for a ballad
Luck be a Lady- EVERYONE LOVES FRANK
I'll Cover you reprise- minus chorus, I think that would def be a crowd pleaser
#22re: If you were on Idol, what would you sing?
Posted: 4/5/05 at 11:57pmIF by some slim chance someone convinced me, cuz I dont think I would ever EVER do American IDol, I would probably want to sing "What I Did For Love" or "My Strongest Suit"
