The Fly
Hello fellow Interferencers!
I haven't posted here too often, but have been around for years and years, usually on the lookout for new album news, and some may remember my U2 background, especially bringing the audio BBC Carpark rehearsals and performances for Top of the Pops to you a few years ago (the first time the world had heard All Because of You and City of Blinding Lights).
Anyway, enough about me, I have a question for anyone who would like to contribute - I have (foolishly) agreed to enter a "Pop Idol" style competition at work, and I have to choose one artist to emulate and song to sing. Of course I chose Bono, but which song to choose?
I have been singing pretty much ever since I really got into U2 (back in 1997), and can handle pretty much any song, but some are better for my voice than others, so I was wondering if anyone could help with song choice please.
I have eliminated any songs in which I would sound too screechy (which includes Vertigo unfortunately). I would also like the song to be one that eberyone would know and be able to sing along to (i.e. a single or well known non-single).
I think I have narrowed my choice down to 3 - One, With Or Without You and New Years Day.
NYD, while quite high at parts, seems to suit my voice well, and I have no problems with the other two.
I have to choose today as I have to submit my choice first thing tomorrow morning, but I am having real trouble deciding...
Any thoughts? Thanks in advance....
