I've been asked to sing at an event in December. The theme of the evening is Space (boring) and so my friend is going to do Fly Me to the Moon. I don't have** to stick to the theme if I can justify doing something else. The evening is to mark the end of a group of students' training in events management.
My friend is a big jazz fan, but I'm not, so not many ideas for a song in the same genre. Happy to go for something different though, if I know it and the audience knows it (wide age range). Don't fancy Space Oddity.
Somebody suggested a low-key Show Must Go On (with piano accompaniment) as it's a motto in the events industry. Happy to give it a go, it's one of my favourite songs, but don't want people thinking I've got delusions of grandeur trying to follow Freddie Mercury.
I'm self-taught as a singer and my voice is stronger in a low key, so I can give some welly to songs sung by men. I can hit high notes too, but without the same power.
Any ideas for songs? Or confidence boosters that I can in fact go out there and sing a song I've always dreamed of performing?
TIA!
