BUT... only play the 90 second version that you will do at the audition. Also, reserve the right to override the fans, because they may not understand the need to stay in your range, etc. Choosing a limited list for them to choose from will lessen this risk, though. Yippie! Don't hold back! Dad Matt:

Best wishes with it anyway, even if they totally do not deserve you. You are way, way too good for that sort of show. :) You’re an awesome performer and an amazing songwriter.

Whatever you pick really needs to have a wide range in 90 secs and you need to rehearse like crazy. For some reason I’m stuck on you singing New York State of Mind.

I'll second "Walking in Memphis" as a track that really showcases your range and is one that everyone loves. Good luck man!!!

I really hope this goes well for you. In my opinion, they're stupid if they don't put you on the show. Heck, I would actually want to watch it if you're on there. ;) They actually held the auditions for the show at a hotel in Nashville I was working at last time around. Getting into work was insane through all the people winding around the block. Hmmm. . .covers. . . I love "Landed", but maybe "Walking in Memphis showcases you better. AWESOME!
