I used to be able to hit the high notes in Phantom...when I was ten. #MezzoProblems

You know what? I'm feeling pretty nice <3 Go ahead and feel free to do something from any musical (But it has to be a musical). That was the intent with this category anyways, I just forgot to add that note.
The possibilities just became endless and I now both hate and adore you simultaneously.

Did we specify that this has to be on-stage musicals?
Not that I'm looking to go with a movie musical, but it may help people to have this clarified, and may aid T-Bone in his issues in finding one he is familiar enough with to be comfortable singing.

I did not specify, though the cool doc I shared did mention "movie musicals" as a thing, so I'm cool to allow it.
LOL I would make a horrible American Idol judge. "JUST SING WHATEVER YOU WANT LOVELIES"

Also, I loved davsto's entry!
That does appear to be a musical. Go for it lol.
Off topic, like...I wish I'd been to this. A musical in a house party. Like....wow..
By the way, you should all be very thankful I'm trying to give my vocal cords a rest, because I was tempted to subject you to more cat murder with this song.
"Wow," you may be thinking. "I had no idea you were able to belt some of those ridiculous high notes." To which my response would be, "...no, I most certainly can't, but I wasn't going to let that stop me." This time instead of abusing my vocal cords, I think I'll abuse my lungs instead.
Uploading my song now. Honestly, I'm not happy with it but after 30 takes I can only do what I can do with it.
I chose a faster version because I don't have the core control for the longer notes despite the amount of emotion that can be inserted if that were chosen.
It's a tough song and I knew that from the start. Could I have chosen something else that is easier and better ranged for my voice? Yes. But this is a competition and doing the same old gets you out eventually. If this does me in, at least I gave it a good try and stepped out of my comfort zone!
Dreading a head-to-head with Bella or Mina or Lilith who would have been much more suited for it and would absolutely destroy a piece like this!
Anyway, this was going to be a bunch of excuses for why it isn't perfect but I've decided instead to own it. So that's that hahaha
I could probably do it if I had more than a week to regain my range, but alas. It could have been an awesome singoff!
