Thanks...would have liked “I Don’t Know How to Love Him” for Brooke. Looking forward to Dreads. ;)

Thanks for the spoilers, Red. I think there might be a couple of train wrecks in those selections. Maybe he'll prove me wrong, but I don't think Jason Castro has the voice for 'Memory.'

Similarly, I'm not sure David C. has the voice for 'Phantom of the Opera.'

'Think of Me' was originally written for a high soprano voice, so I'm interested to hear what David A. will do with it.

'One Rock & Roll Too Many' is an odd choice, because it's a comedic novelty tune that was originally performed as an ensemble piece.

Brooke chose a song that should fit her well. It was sung by Madonna in the film version of Evita.

I think the best choice, assuming Carly can pull it off, is 'Jesus Christ Superstar,' and she didn't actually choose the song for herself.

Hearing in my head what I think these kids sound like with these songs, I can understand why Andrew Lloyd Weber said some of them were "dire."
