I actually prefer "On My Own" better than "I Dreamed a Dream".

Oh honey, there are so many other songs in the world than "I dreamed a dream!" Besides, every other young singer will probably sing Les Mis or Wicked anyway, so go different!

Try "The Earth and other minor things" from Gigi, "Meadowlark" from The Bakers Wife, "Out of my Dreams" from Oklahoma, "Sweet Liberty" from Jane Eyre, "A New Life" from Jekyll and Hyde, "Times like this" from Lucky Stiff, "Hold On" from The Secret Garden... for starters:)

Hope this helps!

If you wanted to go with a crowdpleaser "Wishing You were Somehow Here Again" from Phantom would be popular with the movie out.
Unusual Way from "Nine" and "Meadowlark" from Baker's Wife are just gooooorgeous!

Songs from Music Man, West Side Story, or "Think of Me" from Phantom are good for sopranos. Also, "Over the Rainbow" from the Wizard of Oz, and "Someone Like You" are good. I would recomend singing a song that the audience might know, because people like to hear songs that they know and like sung well. Also, songs with powerful/clever lyrics are nice. I'm sure that which ever song you choose you will do well. Break-A-Leg!
