American Idol song help...?

Question

I want to try out for American Idol... but I don't know what to sing... Anyone have any ideas?

I have a large range... 4 notes over 3 octaves

Answer 1

when American Idol comes to Seattle I'm trying out too. I'm singing Jesus take the wheel by Carrie Underwood and I'm doing that song because I have practiced it until I had it down phat. So you should pick a song you really like and you know you can sing well and until auditions practice fine tuning it until you know you are comfortable and at ease. Practice every chance you get in front of people and alone. Good Luck!

Answer 2

sing something you know that you can sing well and on key i beleive that if you go to the american idol website they give a list of songs they dont like hearing, and ones they hate are the american idol winners songs because those songs are songs written for the winner, im not saying no one else can sing them im just saying that they dont like to hear songs that american idols have ownership or whatever to. sing something original, a song most people wont think of

Answer 3

Depends on your voice. Choose a song that plays to your strengths. Since I've never heard you sing, I can't name a specific song. But if you tend to do better with a specific genre, choose a song from that genre.

Answer 4

"Being Alive" if you can sing that, you will impress (from "Company")
but for goodness sake, please SING and don't do the dredded dump grunting so called pop moaning crap because that really stinks. SING! Breathe correctly and such. Because if you do make it passed the first stuff, you will HAVE to KNOW how to sing in order to advance.

Answer 5

sing something from a broadway play. :D
