Posted: 1/5/05 at 1:53pmI'm just not one for other songs. I've tried listening to other music and nothing suits my voice. I sang something last year from Les Miz at the American Idol thingy and I won. My prize was two tickets to see Chicago.

Posted: 1/5/05 at 3:11pmA Disney Song is always a good medium, for example, you could do Journey to the past from Anastasia, or Reflection from Mulan, they're really poppy, yet still showy. No one will do them, yet they're pretty amazing songs.:)
