After some thoughts, I have decided to register for 'The Voice of Austria' again this year with the first auditions taking place end of next month just outside of Vienna. Unlike its German cousin, it is not broadcasted on TV which is probably a good thing as I won't have to worry about making a complete fool of myself in front of the whole country !
But of course it does not mean that the competition will be less formidable, especially since this time I have decided to make my way throught the live auditions rather than the online application.
I certainly feel that all the time I have spend in studio is paying off, I'm now much more confident in my own voice and much better at knowing how to use it best. But, let's face it: judging from last years' winners, there is no way I will even manage to get through the first round on the voice alone.
Which means I have to make sure that everything else, from the choice of the songs, the attitude, the arrangements to the stage performance has to be thought through. So, it took me a while but I have finally come up with a short list of songs which could take me all the way to the final (in line with my motto 'hope for the best, plan for the worst):
- Stevie Wonder - Superstition
- Michael Buble - Feeling good
- John Newman - Love me again
- Pharell Williams - Happy
- Rihanna - Stay
- Doobie Brothers - Long train runnin'
- Wild Cherry - Play that funky music
The only thing now is to make sure I do them justice in my very own way.
