I got myself into a singing contest but I don’t think I am a very good singer. I want to make it to the final round as a joke so I can do an entire song. What are some good and easy to learn/sing songs that would go well in a contest. And I mean actual songs, not like Mary Had Little Lamb.
1)Maybe I’m Amazed by Jem is great in the folk/pop style, but it’s a bit light.
2)Besame Mucho would definitely get you someplace, you can do so much with that song.
3) The Way You Look Tonight
4)Again in the lighter styles there is 1234 by Feist
But I’d suggest some of the jazz standards which are better for a competition (like options 2 and 3)
5) Another great and fun one is It Might As Well Be Spring
6) Blackbird (the Across the Universe version by Evan Rachel Woods or the Sarah Mc Lachlan version, both are good.)
7) The Boy From Ipanema!
Vincent by Don Mc Lean
Good luck, please feel free to contact me for more options – maybe you could specify the genre and I could help you narrow down the options!!
