Song Suggestions: Andrew Lloyd Webber Theme

Next week the top 6 will be performing songs written or composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber (not just anything Broadway). They will be flying to the Venetian hotel in Vegas for the mentoring portion this weekend, and ALW will perform in the studio on results night.

So I admit it, I'm an ALW novice. The only Broadway shows I've seen are Les Mis and The Color Purple (sans Fantasia, although she was supposed to be there), Wicked (at the Pantages) and RENT (though only on the small screen). The closest I've come to anything by ALW is watching Madonna as Evita on the big screen, and a satire production called "Phantom of the Melodrama" at a theatre in Moorepark that may or may not still exist.

That's right. No CATS. No real Phantom. SB had to do some homework in order to come up with the following song suggestions. (Actually, these are based purely off of iTunes' 30 second clips. So if I'm way off base, let me know...)

Here we go:

Carly: "Angel of Music" (Phantom), "As if We Never Said Goodbye" (Sunset Blvd) or "Memory" (CATS)

DC: "The Music of the Night" (Phantom)

Castro: "Love Changes Everything" (Aspects of Love)

Archie: "Any Dream Will Do" (Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat)

Brooke: "Only He" (Starlight Express), I could also see her singing "Love Changes Everything" but I'd rather hear Jason's take on it.

Syesha: "Memory" (CATS)

What do you think? What would you like to hear?
