Well I sorta forgot to post up here that I had gotten an email a while back from Memorial Opera House telling me the dates of their auditions for Beauty and the Beast. They are in mid-February and its the same speall as last time. I've spent awhile to figure out what song I'm gonna do and had no clue until today. I've decided to go against the grain and sing Defying Gravity.
Of course some of you may not know what I mean so here it is: Society is an idiot!
For whatever reason, society has deemed that since Defying Gravity is sang by Elphaba in the musical that it is a song exclusively for a female. Well, personally, I don't see anything in the song that screams 'I AM ONLY TO BE SUNG BY A WOMAN!!!!' So what I don't get is why then am I not allowed to sing it? Why am I not allowed to sing this extremely inspirational song of such high caliber? Yes I'm a guy, but it isn't like I'm gonna sing it in the octave it was written (even though I probably would, granted it wouldn't sound really great when it gets higher).
So I'm not only gonna rock one of my favorite songs for one of my favorite musicals but I get to shove society back in its place!
Anyway, thanks for letting me get up on my soapbox and rant and rave for a little bit. Maybe I'll have a new arrangement up in the next week or so. See y'll!
