Question: What is some good music for a performer of the year solo!?
Last year i won the super star award[performer of the year] and i get to compete with a solo! I cant think of a song! what would be a good song for a jazz dance or lyrical dance!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Well you definitely need a song that is different, not overused, and will make you stand out!

Jazz:
"Hurt So Bad" - Kina (very jazzy and powerful song)
"Wow" - Kylie Minogue (fun and bubbly)
"Popular" - The Veronicas (very fun to dance to! great beat)
"Manteca (The Funky Lowlives Remix)" - (Jazzy with an amazing beat)
"The Perfect Drug" - Nine Inch Nails (More thrashy)
"Cheap and Cheerful" - The Kills (I love the beat and it's very funky)
"Tell Me Why" - Jakalope (Darker)
"Limp" - Fiona Apple (also a darker song!. Great for a more contemporary jazz!. My studio did a routine to this a few years back and it was amazing!)
"Back In Your Head" - Tegan and Sara (Upbeat and quirky)

Lyrical:
"Slow Me Down" - Emmy Rossum (Simple with not a lot of background music, but the lyrics are very powerful and beautiful)
"Broken" - Lindsey Haun (Sad and strong song!. Great chorus)
"Ocean Size Love" - Leigh Nash (Very sweet and not as sad as other songs!. I loooove this song!.)
"In Another Life" - The Veronicas (Picks up at the end of the song and gets thrashy and powerful!. Would be great with some strong choreography)
"It's Only Life" - Kate Voegele (Positive song with great beat)
"In My Arms" - Plumb (I danced to this last year!. Really beautiful and the background music is gorgeous!)
"The Way I Am" - Ingrid Michaelson (Cute and more of an upbeat song)
"Halo" - Haley James Scott (Darker with a strong chorus)

You can most of these on iTunes!. I think the only one that's not on there is "Hurt So Bad" by Kina!. You can find that one and other ones on Limewire!. Hope I could help! :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

For a jazz dance I suggest something of Michael Buble's or The Cat Empire!.

For a lyrical or contemporary routine, I suggest any of these songs:

Chasing Cars - Snow Patrol
A New Day Has Come - Celine Dion
Freeze - Jordin Sparks
No Air - Jordin Sparks ft!. Chris Brown
