Question: What are some good 50's songs!?
I'm auditioning for our school musical next year!. It's called Nifty 50's (yeah I know)!. As part of the audition you have to sing one song in front of 3 judges!. I want to sing something that will show them that I'm able to perform the songs in the musical well!. It's kind of like Grease so I need song suggestions that are from that decade or have that same style!. Nothing really rock or blues!. Thanks!Www@QuestionHome@Com
