I think it's awesome - but why two male songs and one female song? "Stars and the Moon" is overdone but why not "Christmas Lullaby". And outside of Songs for a New World there's "And I Will Follow" or maybe "Letting You Go"

Can't wait to hear the submissions, though.

Aw man, I wish that JRB wrote songs for legit sopranos.

"Christmas Lullaby" would be a lot better for my voice than "I'm Not Afraid."

Hahah reading it totally inspired me to record myself with the tracks playing... WOW. BAD idea, Sam.

hahah I JUST finished reading about that contest before signing on on here.
yeah, bad choices JRB.
Two similar-[ish] guy songs and one not-so-rangy women's song?
oh well, I'm interested to listen to the entries.

Typical, it's the one show of his (that's been released properly on CD anyway) that I don't know very well. Booo!

Although I do know 'She Cries'. Think I should give it a bash, despite being a lassie?

It seems interesting, so I went and did it. :)
Here's the link for my little "performance." Vote, only if you want to.

Why would you want to listen to a song you love be butchered by deluded people all over the world?

I love how he breathes along with the music.

Wow, Jess, that was fantastic! Thank you for cementing my decision not to enter--I'll leave the belting to the experts.

I really like this guy; although his voice sounds familiar.

I tried singing it today and I can't belt for the life of me.

If I can do it, you can do it. :)

I am DEFINITELY a legit soprano, not a belter. But I think it sounds decent:

Spork! You know I think you should enter. You have a great voice. I'll say it again and again!

[SporkGoddess]

Okay, guys, I finally gave in and posted my own entry.

I'm off at times and, again, this is not ideal for my voice type! But I tried my best. Like you guys said, it's just for fun.

Edit: Oh, if for some reason you want to vote for me, my name is Katie.
