I'm entering Australian Idol (Again) in May, and need a song choice.

Last time, I screwed up and left my song choice until I was there - WRONG.

This time, I'll be prepared though, since I'm thinking about my initial song NOW.

The songs I've narrowed it down to are these:

Crying - Roy Orbison
Burn For You - John Farnham
Mi Mancherai - Josh Groban
Khe Sahn - Cold Chisel
No Second Prize - Jimmy Barnes
Your Song - Garth Brooks
What About Me? - Moving Pictures
Unchained Melody - Righteous Brothers
My Way - Frank Sinatra
Crazy Little Thing Called Love - Shaking Stevens
Love Me Tender - Elvis Presley

All these songs are songs I can sing, and according to other people (Not just myself :P) I can sing well.

If you know any of these songs, please rate how well you personally think they would fair in the INITIAL auditions of Idol.

Sorry, but this does belong in Other Entertainment. =D All polls should go in their respective forums. n_n As for what song to choose, I seriously don't know, 'cause I never heard any of them. xD;

Maybe Love Me Tender by Elvis, but I can't really jude you on which song you should sing until I here your voice. Do you have a microphone? Maybe if you posted your voice, it'll be less hard.

Just pick a song that fits you.Don't sing a song that makes you feel uncomfortable or uneasy.You must give it your best try and hope for the best^^!And they'll do well in the initial auditions ;) .

I have no idea, but I'd suggest not going with "What About Me?". After Shannon Noll's remake of it... oh, how clich, I bet the judges are sick of it xD

Good luck by the way ^^

Oh cool, Josh Groban fans :P

Josh Groban is seriously awesome, and I CAN sing his songs by the way, I've sung You Raise Me Up at a wedding, and I sang Mi Mancherai at a karaoke thing, I won $100 for it :P

Right now, I'm thinking Mi Mancherai, or a song I just grabbed the other day, called Desperado.

I can do Desperado aswell, I haven't sung it like publicly yet, just in front of friends and while I'm walking around the streets.

I can't be that bad if some people actually come out to hear me :P

And yes, I do live in a retirement village town place -_-.

I think I will go with Mi Mancherai.. I know the entire song without needing the lyrics (It's in like Spanish or something), and I've gotten to know the song through singing it alot.

I think it's my best bet, and hopefully the judges will like something a little different (Being in a different language and all :P)

Hope to see some of YOU people entering it aswell.

You're probably right, the people who got through with songs in other languages were singing in languages they were raised in so I don't think that would work out for me.

I want to do a Josh Groban song, because use his songs to show my entire voice, but I'm thinking Desperado might be an easier and safer choice for getting through the first round.

Then again, they might pick up on that I chose it because it was easier and not let me through because of that =/
