Question Posted Wednesday January 17 2007, 9:15 pm
So I want to do American Idol next season (Season 7) and I'm not sure what song I want to do, but I want to start practice now. I'm thinking about At Last by Etta James but then I heard Simon's favorite song is Unchained Melody (the song in the movie Ghost). Any suggestions?
Brandi_S answered Thursday January 18 2007, 12:50 am: I wouldn't do his favorite song, my personal self. Simply because he is so critical, if you mess up on his favorite song, he is going to be extra hard on you. Keep that in mind...
Be sure to pick a song that is excellent when sang a Capella (without musical accompaniment). Some songs sound so good when you sing along with music, but are very hard to sing without the tunes to keep your beat.
I'm not sure of your singing style, or your musical interest, but Amazing Grace and the Star Spangled Banner sound great a Capella, but you need to practice a lot and get it down to a T. Singing a Capella is the hardest way to sing! [ Brandi_S's advice column | Ask Brandi_S A Question ]
