Male Belting songs

Posted: 1/8/05 at 10:53pm

Ok, sorry for another song request....

But does anyone know of any good songs in which a guy belts - solos, duets, etc - like (sorry for this) the end of Defying Gravity or No Good Deed?

Hopefully, you understand what I am asking...lol

"Make Them Hear You" from Ragtime

"One Song Glory" could be belted, I guess.

"Barrett's Song" - Titanic
"I'm Martin Guerre"
"Those Magic Changes" from Grease! (the way Sam Harris sings it, hehe)

I think there's a lot of male belting in Lippa's The Wild Party.

Does "Glory" count? I'm no voice expert.

Role of a Lifetime could be belted, sure. Not as much as some other songs, but yes.

"This is The Moment"?

From "this is the moment! damn all the odds!" can be belted.

Well, if you're a tenor, 'Sit Down, You're Rocking the Boat' can be considered a high belter song.

Especially the high F's and G's scattered throughtout the song in places like "...brought my dice along..." etc

This is one of my favorite songs to sing and to perform.

Are there any copies available of Role of a Lifetime? I'd love to have that!

I second All Good Gifts. If you can hit the notes loud and well, it gives guaranteed chills.

"Sit Down, You're Rockin' the Boat" is a GREAT song to belt! When I did GUYS AND DOLLS, the guy playing Nicely Nicely Johnson had one of those classic, Frank Sinatra-esque voices and it totally fit the time period and his rendition of "Sit Down..." was amazing!!

If you can belt a high G, I can send you an arrangement of 'Proud of Your Boy' that would be close to what it seems your looking for.
