Maybe you noticed "Idol" started up again tonite.What if there were an idol for crossdressers, but you had to sing a song that you could somehow relate to your crossdressing. There's lots of obvious ones out there, and I'll start with an easy one---BeeGees: "More Than A Woman":happy:Whacha gonna sing?

I almost succumbed to doing "I feel like a woman " at my 65 th party as a cabaret act, but it would have taken too long to get ready for the act.
I became a male magician instead and did a magic trick ( still had long purple nails, and sunglasses to hide the eyes )

.. but did you see the guy who came in dressed as "Princess Leia as Jabba's Slave"? Whoa,.. they even made him go back outside and shave his bear fur before they'd let him sing.... LOL

My wife says that if I start singing, she wants me to be on the radio. So she can either change the channel or shut it off....BJ

The Billie Holiday favorite "I'll never be the same" would be a great opener for a cd.

Christina Aguilera-Beautiful (http://youtube.com/watch?v=rko3wWhq2ac)

This year they said they weren't going to be showing the quirky, weird, etc. auditions, yet they had several in the very first show. Do they think the show won't survive if they don't show that stuff?

BTW, the guy that had his chest hair removed had it done by waxing. They showed some of the removal. The person doing it didn't even bother to shave the hair to make it easier. OUCH!

Vikki I can't sing and I'm too old but that doesn't seem to stop a lot of them, several of which have tried cross-dressing, maybe for effect?

For me the song would be

"A Man I'll Never Be" by Boston.

Here's a small excerpt of the lyrics

"... You look up at me, and some where in your mind you see, a man I'll never be."

Fitting for me.

"I Feel Pretty" from West Side Story.

Also, the aforementioned "A Walk on the Wild Side", which has gotta be THE theme song of crossdressers, at least of those of a certain age.

I guess " House of the Rising Sun"- The Animals, applies to my CDing. At least this line does-
" And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy, and God I know, I'm one".

Billy Joel's "The Stranger"

Well we all have a face
That we hide away forever
And we take them out and
Show ourselves
When everyone has gone
Some are satin some are steel
Some are silk and some are leather
They're the faces of the stranger
But we love to try them on

Well we all fall in love
But we disregard the danger
Though we share so many secrets
There are some we never tell
Why were you so surprised
That you never saw the stranger
Did you ever let your lover see
The stranger in yourself?

I also saw one contestant who said something like, "You've seen me as a guy, so here I am as a gal, just to show how versatile I am." And, although it was a brief look only, she looked pretty good as a woman. No idea of how she can sing, or even if she can sing.

Let's not forget the song "Sisters". everytime I hear it on the radio, I know it is a CD song. Especially the part "We are famliy, I have all my sister's with me".

I'd sing "I'm not a girl not yet a woman" by Britney Spears. LOL. Tonite American Idol starts its new season in Latinamerica. I only watch the auditions and enjoyed having a laugh, actually more than one. I love how Simon tells what most people think.


or perhaps I could sing "Dude looks like a lady" by Aerosmith. If only I had any talent.

The Female Impersonator/Cross Dresser on Australian Idol, who actually got fairly far, was Courtney Act. Look her up on the net, amazing.
