So There

I think my vocal coach has doubts about my ability to stick to key under the stress of nerves and crowds and people singing right next to me, etc. She's pressing me to stick to "Boulevard of Broken Dreams", since that's a much easier song to sing. It's simpler, I know it better at the moment, and it's less vocally demanding.

I totally understand her feelings. I do tend to slide flat at times lately, and "Si Volvieras a Mi" is hard to hit on target at the best of times. Boulevard is definitely more of a sure bet.

But it is also... well, it's Fine. It's Okay. I do it well enough. But... it's not going to stand out. It's not going to wow anybody. Other people will probably sing it, and will also do a perfectly good job of it.

So... do I go the safe route, and do a good job of the Workhorse song?

Or take a big risk and try for the Wow Factor that might fall like a lead balloon?

For now I'm going to prepare both. Even that's a risk... easier to prepare one easy song than a very challenging one and an easier one.

But I'm not at the point yet where I can give up the dream...
