@Listener001  obviously you have a great voice, to be able to sing in front of a crowd not only just takes great courage, but also talent. Having said that, please allow me to ask you this question. What artist, and song are you good singing along with? That is the very song I myself would choose for this event. I also want to add this as well, you previously stated in your original post, "I've even went all out and  written my own song but I don't feel quite confident in singing it". Why do you feel your not good enough to sing your own original?? Never underestimate your own abilities. Sometimes the greatest song comes from out of nowhere. The song Faithfully by Journey was written on the Bands bus as they were heading to do a concert right here in go olé Up-State N.Y. It was written on a napkin.  If you still want my help, other than what I just tried to give, then I will happily try to help you find something different. Take care and stay safe.   ... View more
