So guys, what do you think the perfect soprano song is.....?
'think of me' from phantom is good.
'glitter and be gay' is awesome, though extremely hard to pull off
any other ideas?

Posted: 6/2/08 at 5:14pm"Glitter and Be Gay" is the first one that popped to my mind when I read the title.

"Come To My Garden" is one of my all time favorites, although it's a bit different than "Ice Cream" or "Glitter and Be Gay".
I also second "One More Kiss". oh! and "I Wish It So" is another gorgeous song.
When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain.

"One More Kiss" is fantastic because it sits in a great place for my voice.
But I would say that the ultimate soprano song is "Glitter and be Gay."
Jimmy, what are you doing here in the middle of the night? It's almost 9 PM!
