OK I want to sing a song for a Variety Show my school is having. I just need help with choosing what songs to sing. I've narrowed it down to 4. I can sing all the songs well I just can't choose between them.

"Home" from Beauty and the Beast
"Gimme Gimme" from Millie
"The Wizard and I" from Wicked
"Popular" from Wicked

The only problem is that I can't find the Kareoke to Millie and Beauty and the Beast. If anyone knows where I can find them It would be much appreciated.

Millie Karaoke (from Amazon.com):

And I dont think they made a B&tB one, I dont remember seeing it at Colony. Plus, Amazon doesnt have it.

Just a warning, the CD above is a little pricey lol.

Personally, if you can belt the end of "Wizard and I", go for it, it'll bring the house down. "Popular" would be a good choice if you are going for comedy (maybe dress someone up in a rediculouly ugly costume, as green paint like Elpie's is kinda hard to come by). The other are a little on the boring side to the general public, non-fans of Broadway wouldn't really appreciate those... IMO. Have fun, and break a leg with whatever you choose!

I agree with timote.

If you can rock the Wizard and I, go for it!!! That song will impress everyone, whether or not theyre familiar with Wicked.

do gimme gimme! It's my lucky song, everyone loooooves it! I'm a huuuuge wicked lovr too, but with the wizard and I, for people in the audience who dont about wicked might not fully appreciate the song. Gimme gimme is more like a generic, good song, and it's also really fun to get into.
